Draft Fun
 
I remember years ago many of us replaced our avatars with the player we thought would be taken with the Saints first pick.

I'm pretty sure mine was Clay Matthews!

Who is yours this year?

All I remember is the one year where we did the mock draft and I had the Vikings and selected Adrian Peterson prior to real life, and the rest was history.

Had Clay Matthews as well, but, alas, Sean Payton's Ohio State Love Affair really cranked off with Malcolm Jenkins...

Will Coach Allen have a different love affair or will it be the same mistress? :confused:

I'd be happy with Texas A&M, LSU and or Bama...

Really like those offensive linemen from Wisconsin and Nebraska...

My wish is for an offensive lineman but this is who I think will be the guy:

No clue. But I just don't see us taking a QB in one of the worst years for QB's in years. Some WR would be my guess.

Sorry, I don't remember anymore. It was probably an O-lineman though. I do love the big uglies. You win in the trenches. This is a great thread though.

However, I do remember women from different nationalities, blondes, brunettes, and red headed Avatars each month. There were some beautiful women Avatars that year!

I'm still making up my mind. I think once FA is settled, I'll have a good idea of who I hope we land.

I don't remember but probably Clay Matthews because I've wanted a great linebacker almost every year.

Didn't we all change to bikini pics at one point, too?

Been banging the table for Trevor Penning since the draft season kicked off...

Since there are so few here on the forum I thought they were perhaps frowned upon.

Me too JP. He’s as mean as a junkyard dog. We need that aggressiveness in the trenches. I’d start him at RT first

Is he also badder than Ol’ King Kong? 🤪

You think it would be a good idea to shift both Penning (LT) and Ramczyk (RT) out of the positions they have been playing, LS? I guess we'll see soon enough how Nielsen sees things.

Ram played LT at Wisconsin. He didn’t need to play LT cause we had Armstead but this kid is coming from a small school and RT would be perfect for him until he catches up to the speed of the nfl. He’s already a mauler in the running game. Which is what a RT is supposed to be better at than the LT. Which is supposed to be better in pass protection.

Yeah, I get that, but I have a feeling Nielsen will stick with continuity of position. But, like I said, we'll see soon enough. It's getting closer to OTA's every day!

One thing to consider is the overall makeup of the line. How are the guard/tackle pairings on the left and right sides most efficient? Would Ramczyk/Peat and Ruiz/Penning hold up any better than Penning/Peat and Ruiz/Ramczyk? I guess those are questions that Nielsen will be asking himself. I imagine they'll give both alignments a chance early on in camps.

Yea, it should be interesting from preseason to week 1, who they roll out on the o-line. I hope the light comes on for Cesar. I feel this is make or break for him.

Yeah, I can give him a bye to a degree based upon the total lack of off-season activities his rookie year and playing with a rotating partnership at RT and center all last season, but if we can maintain some sort of consistency on the line this year he has no excuse. In a way that's why I could see them leaving Ramczyk at RT, at least until Ruiz gets the proper foothold.
