Pancake Blocks Mock Draft: Pick No. 10
Scott K. has the honors with our tenth pick. He's writing from my favorite town in the country- New Orleans. Sorry about slowing the pace of the draft down the last two days. We'll go three picks today. So James, you are up and TC get ready

With no real holes on offense to fill worthy of a high pick, this pick has to be on the defensive side of the ball. With the premier defenders gone, the Saints have to decide between a quality linebacker, a pass rush specialist, or a cornerback work in progress. A trade down is a possibility, but impossible to predict. With the Saints signing of Bobby McCrary, Randall Gay, Aaron Glenn, and eventual trade for Lito Sheppard (fingers crossed), it makes this pick fairly easy.

This pick will produce immediate dividends unlike a cornerback and turn a weakness from last year into a perceived strength. It's not a sexy pick, but it's the right pick and gives the Saints their best linebacker corps since the Dome Patrol. Who Dat!

With the 10th pick, the New Orleans Saints select, linebacker from Southern California, Keith Rivers.

New Orleans is back and better than ever. Visit NOLA!
