How sure are you that the Saints are picking at 18? How sure are you that Vilma will be there? The Likelyhood of the Saints trading down is very possible. The senerios in this years draft is astronomical to say the least. There are NO definates this year unlike past years, except for an occasional surprise here and there. Mock to Mock its complete hog-wash. The only real ones who have a clue who is going to be picked by whom this year is the team themselves when they pick. We can guess and speculate all we want to but keep a grip on reality here... its just purely speculation at very best. But its nice to see who has real lives and who doesn\'t.

2. I know they will take a RB, but I don\'t think it will be in round 1 (unless jackson falls to them, or they trade up for him). Clarrett was a mistake on my part. I left him out of the draft and didn\'t realize it till the end, so I stuck him in there last minute. I think he will go 3rd round. 3. Maybe? 4. WR is a major need for them that nobody else seems to talk about. But Will Poole is someone I\'m sure they will give a hard look to. Maybe even Hill. But Issac Hilton? That guy won\'t sniff the first round. I haven\'t even seen a mock that has him going anywhere past late 2nd. 5. Possibly. I see them trading up for a DT that can play in the 3-4. I forgot about it tho, so when their pick came around, I had them take Tubbs because he has the size to play NT. thanks for the comments, eitherway. |

As for New England that really is a coin flip. Who should they replace after losing Washington and Woody this offseason? I could see that going either way. |

New England should go after the DT, IMO. Run defense is a bigger need than a guard. Guards can be found anywhere, a good NT is hard to find. Plus I have them taking Stephen Peterman in round 2, which takes care of their guard problem. |

Don\'t let these guys get you down rAge. This entire forum is basically a chat room for about 10-15 \"veterens\" who are all familiar with each others opinion and not only don\'t want to hear from fans new to the board but actually take time out of their day to put down and belittle people simply trying to contribute. I might not agree with your opinion but I do respect it and your right to post it.

Vilma is the best linebacker in the draft, no doubt, and he is someone I\'d love to see sporting a fleur de lis. But I don\'t think that two mid-level to lower-level CBs make up for one top-level CB. And yes I have heard of them, for one thing I go to the Senior Bowl every year. I think one of the top three CBs will be there at 18, hopefully. If so we can pick up Darryl Smith or Rod Davis in the second. They are both good middle linebackers. In the third round I think we would be better picking up a RB or OT than a center. Remember that Bentley played center in college and Haslett has talked about him being the future center. I do have to compliment you on going through three whole rounds. I did a one round mock and it took me two days. |

Ok... no one is saying much here... we know they will go LB or CB. Its a no brainer here. The real question and interesting thing is if the Saints move up to snag a player or drop back get extra picks and get a player where he falls. Some CB\'s will be therein the first round in a few picks back.
