Spags could mold this guy into a pass rushing monster who could line up in any defensive front spot.

I'm all for drafting Wolfe. If Hightower isn't there and we end up drafting Crick in the 2nd and Wolfe in the third, instead of the 3rd and 5th, then I still think we've gotten two steals.

It would actually be awesome if the Saints could maybe get Ronnell Lewis, the Oklahoma LB/DE in the 2nd round (it is a stretch he'll be available) and then get Derek Wolfe (DT/DE) in the 3rd round.

Those would be two great tacklers and couple of guys who could line up in various positions and spots in the front 7, which should make Spags happy.

Some more guys I like:
DE Whitney Mercilus 6'4" 265lbs (Doubt he'll still be there in round 2 though)
DT Alameda Ta'amu 6'3" 341lbs (Maybe an option in round 3)
SS Harrison Smith 6'2" 212lbs (A friend of mine thinks he'll be the best safety in the draft. Another round 3 option)
WR Gerell Robinson 6'3" 223lbs (round 5-6 A late round replacement for Colston?)
RB/WR/KR Chris Rainey 5'8" 178 (with his speed/big play ability, hard to pass in round 5 or later)
LB Vontaze Burfict 6'3" 250lbs (I remember someone on here wanting him, could be a steal in round 3 or later. I saw a projection of him in the 3rd)
TE Michael Egnew 6'5" 245lbs (Could be an outstanding pick in the 5th. I doubt TE is a big enough need to draft earlier)

I guess thats all for now.

I think that the trend this year will be on big TEs like Egnew, because all the teams want to have a Graham/Gronskowski/Hernandez type of a TE, so their value will probably be inflated.

Also, if they were to pick a safety, I would like them to look for more of a FS type, because I firmly believe that Abdul-Quddus is the one who'll take over from Harper when that time comes around. And, on the other hand, while Amaya is a really good special teams player and a capable FS backup, I don't know if he can ever become a legitimate starter at FS.

Any DT or 2 that can push the pocket and get after the qb. stuff the run and basically do their job, I don't care what the name is or when we get them in the draft, I want them. If he would be an UFA it would be fine as long as the middle of the D can push that damn pocket period. One quality MLB or OLB and we should be set.

BTW, I would really like to do the B&G 1st round mock draft again like we did some years ago. I'll be the Vikings again ... last time I picked Adrian Peterson and then they picked AP IRL!

Vikings are too easy! They'll take Kalil for sure if St. Louis doesn't pick him before them or some other team doesn't trade up to get him.
