Mock Drafts 2023

Boston Saint · 04-19-2023, 05:28 PM

The main thing I’m looking for is someone who can STAY ON THE FIELD! Please no more Penning’s/Turners/Davenports! Hard to predict of course, but please just stay healthy.

Man every time I look at a mock draft or do a mock sim, I wish that we had an extra pick between 29 and 40, like around the 35 area…so we’d have 29,35,and 40. Lots of good talent still on the board in that area

There is a strong chance, IMHO, that we see a trade down for additional picks. My mocks are not necessarily indicative, but one would hope to be able to interpolate/interpret that based on how they program the algorithms of the mocks. At the end of the day, the team needs to have willing trade partners to make that happen. We'll see in the not too distant future.

I'm expecting them too remain true to their philosophy and target individuals that they definitely want. Once again, I don't expect them to be moving back for those targets, but rather to be moving up. The people doing these mocks, including fans, are in love with quantity of picks rather than quality which both Loomis and Harley have repeatedly emphasized is not their philosophy at all. I just can't see them suddenly changing their way of doing business after all of these years.

I'm really itching to create a poll.

Will the Saints trade their first two picks to a team to have a pick in the 15-20 range in round one?
Will they trade out of the first round to have three picks in the second round?
Will they trade all of their picks to the Redskins and take a coveted player in early part of round one?

Brodric Martin

DL
Western Kentucky

"Space eater" (one Reese's Pieces shy of 340 lbs), good upper body strength. The best "fit" is a 0-1 technique. Has held his own against double teams.

Negatives - slow off the ball, no quick twitch will limit his ability to bull rush.

Late round (6-7) flyer.
