2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

if we want to get back to the promise land we have to go o-line o-line, that's what got us there and will get us there again, we need to protect brees for a few more years.

The five best offensive linemen we've drafted during the Payton era were drafted in the fourth round (Jahri Evans), seventh round (Zach Strief), fourth round (Jermon Bushrod), fifth round (Carl Nicks), fourth round (Jermon Bushrod) and third round (Terron Armstead); and only Armstead was a Top 75 pick - in fact, he was the 75th pick of the draft...

Charles Brown (round 2), Andy Alleman (round 3) were second day picks...

We need to draft the best available player when it's our selection irregardless of Brees and his window...

Right now with the miami now picking behind us I can only see the Raiders as possible trade back partners. 12 to 14 could net us an additional 4th (114) and 5th (143). Both teams have CB high on there needs list. This could be a huge small trade down for the saints

Treadwell pro day 40 time: 4,65

Jarvis Landry run 4,65 at the combine but his pro day forty was 4,51...

Tread definitely fits the mold of Alshon Jeffries. Not a burner but super strong and is able to fight off defenders for the ball in tight windows.

[jeanpierre]

Treadwell's ceiling is higher than that of DeAndre Hopkins and Alshon Jeffery...


If Hopkins and Jeffery were in the draft, who wouldn't take them with pick no. 12?!?

Brees, you really think Myles Jack is making it out of the top 10, especially past the Ravens?!?

If we got Vernon Butler in the second round (don't think he's making it at all out of the first round), I'd be in Farmer Fran mode through training camp...

Really like McGovern; looks like a nasty version of Jahri Evans...

Deion Jones seems a little too light and wasn't as fast at his pro day...

I know this mock is unrealistic. This was CBS database on fanspeak on the clock simulator.


I agree on Jack and Butler. Jack sure is top 10 pick and Butler probably late 1st round selection or early second.
Now I hear that Mayock will put Keanu Neal in top 5 safeties group. lol

That is a killer! looks like he will be there at 12 for sure now. He is out of top 10. 33-inch vertical? and they say white men can not jump! But his game tape is so good....

Looks like the winner in this years beauty pageant will be Josh Doctson. His stock just jumped big time.

The question is do you draft

Treadwell a bully WR that can dominate outside the hashes

or

Doctson who is fast, sneaky quick, dominate in between the hashes and up the seem?

stray thought - Doctson is looking mighty good especially if we can trade back and pocket a pick or two. Actual starting to think the combo of Doctson and Cooke might be more productive. That is a lot speed darting around in the hashes to cover. I can see them freeing each other up all over the field.

Then again a steady Freddie for Drew is always abused in our system.

As time goes on I am getting down the Cook pick. Nothing to with his talent it's more to do with not fitting in with the pieces we have on hand at WR.
