All these mock drafts and predictions are fun, but I cant wait to see what choices the team will make. Everyone has that opionons who we will draft but the suspense is killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just excited about the talent in this years draft. We will get 2 great quality guys with our picks. I'm still not sure whether we should go DT or CB in the first round but im expecting either Dan Conner or Jerod Mayo to fall to the second round and hopefully the FO can pull the trigger and i would def love to see us move up in the second and get one of those guys if they fall.

It's a safe bet that they go in the 1st because quite a few teams need LBs and may be willing to reach to fill a need. Pakowitz, Who do you like better out of Mayo and Connor? Who goes first?

personally I think Connor is better, but Mayo will go first because he has more upside, more of an athlete

man, thats a tough call.. Mayo was an OLB who moved to the middle b/c of lack of team depth at the position but he shined at MLB..
mainly cuz he had to...

i have to agree with papz about conner tho... the guy just makes plays.. i think he is the safest of the 2 but Mayo really has more upside.. i dont think you could go wrong with either pick but conner has always been a good player even when Paul Posluszny was there...

i think it will be interesting to see where the team that drafts Mayo will play him... MLB or OLB

if i had to pick one for the saints then i would take Mayo and play him on the outside.. he has great speed and would compliment vilma very well i think... though u couldnt go wrong either way

Hagan, I have read a few "analysts" having the Saints taking Erin Henderson, LB, from Maryland in the second round. Some have Henderson being selected ahead of Lofton and Mayo (and neither of them selected in round 1). Thoughts?

BTW; if Dorsey and Ellis are gone in round 1 prior to #10...Rivals.com has the Saints taking Mike Jenkins. IMHO, I just don't see it! I believe the need is there and the Saints will select a corner at #10...just not Jenkins.

Somehow...I do not think Payton can help himself and will go TE in the third round. Rucker from Missouri has been mentioned several times as the possible selection. Thoughts?
