I'm hoping we focus on the interior of the lines by drafting either a guard or defensive tackle

Wow! I know that those are some of his best plays but he looks good. The back shoulder to Hyatt against Akron (I know--Akron:rolleyes:) was nice.
He looks similar to a number 5 that played for the Eagles twenty years ago.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

McKee outta Stanford looks intriguing.

We need to take 2 QBs, IMHO, one late in the draft too.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

I can see that IF we don't make a multi-year commitment to veteran free agent like Carr, Mayfield, or Garoppolo before the draft. In that case I can see a developmental QB taken late and using all of the earlier picks on other needs.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

2? Naw, the Saints need to spread the love around.

RB, TE, G, WR, S & LB.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

The only position I would double dip on in the draft is on the offensive line. Otherwise, like you said, the Saints need to spread the love around and try to fill some of our other holes that are glaring needs.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Only downside, the NFL does not always give you 5 seconds to read the field. Many of those highlights show 5 seconds timelines. Our OL better be ready to illegally hold legally or not get caught holding.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Well dang! Now I'm going to have to go back and watch some more of his film. He sure did look good for that 5 Seconds though.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

3. Siaki Ika - DL, Baylor

PFF lists defensive line as the Saints’ biggest need, and Ika might be the best option available at pick number 29 or 40. In fact PFF predicts that Ika will be drafted by the Saints at pick number 40. This could be an excellent option for Loomis, making his combine performance very high stakes for the former Baylor Bear.

He intrigues me as we definitely need meat up the middle. He needs to get his weight in order though as that's a chronic concern.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Losing weight and keeping your weight under control is not what New Orleans is known for. We are known for fat tourists and delicious food, which includes Popeyes chicken sammiches.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

That's exactly who I want. Get him down to the 330-335 range a let that monster eat. Conditioning will be the key to his success.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Gervon Dexter, Florida (mid-rounds) DT

Stout run stopper.

I wonder what former Gator coach, newly hired Saints D line assistant Todd Grantham has to say about this one? Hmm ...

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Anthony Richardson - QB Florida
Projected Day 2 selection

Not a pick I'd like however he could gain some "buzz" depending on his Combine and subsequent Pro day.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Colleges with the most invitees

Of course... GA, AL, LSU, etc...

THE Ohio St is a little down? SP can't be happy about that.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Jamarcus Russell 2.0 ?

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Championship! Possible Peat replacement in middle rounds?

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

He’s going first round. The talent is off the charts. Somebody is going to take a chance. Definitely not Jamarcus Russel 2.0. More like unrefined Cam Newton. He’d be a beast in the Taysom Hill package.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Devon Witherspoon.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Seems to me one of the great assets that we have, taysom hill, was just not utilized correctly for years and maybe it’s time to find the next version. The kid from Texas, R. Thompson, would be a player I would keep an eye on in the later rounds. Recruited as a qb but was put at rd when Texas had injury problems at the position. Big, strong guy and a team player willing to do whatever it takes to win. Remind you of anyone.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Qb's I like in the draft McKee, Haener and McCall. I favor McCall over both simply because of the int. ratio over the past 2 years.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Lukas Van Ness, Edge rusher
IOWA

Big guy (6'5), and plays low en route to the QB.

Late Day 1, early Day 2 predictions & scouting report.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Not even going to go check his WonderSlick. Not sure he has the gray matter to succeed at the next level. He has assuredly the physical attributes many drool over. Many just like him have success transitioning from HS to college. The NFL is a different animal. You don't always, almost never in fact, get 5 seconds to peruse the field for the open guy on everything play, assuming the WRs and TEs even understand how to get open.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

The QB prospect Hendon Hooker is a guy I like ... a lot & he'll be available at #29 & maybe in the 2nd round.

The bigger question is if he's even on Saint's radar. If he's your man, take him & feel good about the pick.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

We all enjoy this time of year and the projections made in mock drafts. Just be ready for the first round pick to be a fullback from Albion College.:beer:

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

So true.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Kicker ..since Lutz has faltered a bit ?!?

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

That's one we don't have to worry about with Lutz' restructure. ;) He'd be on the books for $6.75 million in dead money if we replaced him.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

What are the possibilities of drafting another WR in Rd1?

Saw a recent "mock" with the Saints selecting Zay Flowers @ 29.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

I know we’ve interviewed him pretty heavily. Cam Jordan even tweeted we should take him. I think he’s a guy we have our eye on, and I’d take him at #29 without blinking.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

It was a sarcastic response on drafting a kicker ... :rofl:

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

I know.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

More talk of Hooker to the Saints.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Even if we sign Carr?
Their now saying Carr and the Saints have a scheduled interview in Indy.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Is any good?;)
