Projected mock picks for the New Orleans Saints
 

The Saints will select Purdue DE Ryan Kerrigan with their first-round pick (No. 24 overall) in SportingNews.com's latest mock draft. Kerrigan would help fill a need as the Saints could use a pass rusher.

Several other teams are after this guy as well.

The Saints will select OLB Justin Houston of Georgia.

Defense will be Key in Saints Draft Lineup, Analyst shows saints taking a DE "Adrian Clayborn of Iowa.
 

Defense continues to be the theme for the Saints' first-round pick in the Professional NFL Analyst latest mock drafts. Rob Rang of CBS Sports has the Saints selecting Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn at No. 24 overall

I like what I see in this guy he can cover he can come off the end and pass rush but I didn't see him stop the run can he stop the run is he a good tackler.

I think if we go defense the entire draft we're going to get some good players no matter who they go with

I like Kerigan, but not much else.

Actually I just did some research on Clayborn, and he looks like a solid LDE prospect.

He looks like he may be what Charles Grant was supposed to be.

what u guys think of heyward ohio state?

I'm sorry guys, but I have a feeling in my gut, that we are going to take a RB with the first pick. And I have no problems with that, considering if we had a healthy RB last season, that could move the chains, the defense isn't on the field so long, therefore they aren't exhausted by the third quarter.
