2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

[jeanpierre]

I can't see not moving a running back...

I've come to respect and appreciate PT's Screen Game each and every year...

Moore knack for getting separation to catch is great; but he doesn't have that YAC that you really need...

I like have Ingram's strength on short yardage gains; but the lack of the home run threat is very disappointing...

Ivory is fun too watch; but he's a luxury at a deep position...

Harper, I've never been a fan of and his salary cap number leaves me amazed...

There are several NFL personnel people who think the Saints got ir right with the Robinson pick; and though we've seen glimpses, they are few and far between and I think Malcolm Jenkins should move to that corner spot...

Isn't it interesting that Eric Reid of LSU has fallen out of the first round when he was a potential Top 15 pick three months ago?!?

Eric Reid most likely dropped because of his bowl game play against Clemson. Especially during crunch time in the 4th when the game was close. Tajh Boyd and Deandre hopkins absolutely shredded him, according to what i watched...didnt play the ball very well. there was a specific play that should have been an easy bat down but just never turned around. i thought it was a poor throw by tajh boyd, but o well. im thinkin the bowl game really hurt his stock and boosted deandre hopkins. did really well.

Im really liking Quanterus Smith(6'5, 250lbs) out of Western Kentucky University with one of our later round picks,
maybe 5th or 6th. The guy had 12.5 sacks in only 10 games before tearing his ACL. I believe 3.5 of those sacks came from the Alabama game, which shows he can show up big against great talent, especially against that great Alabama O-line that consists of top talent(C Barrett Jones, G Chance Warmack, T DJ Fluker, etc.)

I believe we can hit big with multiple players early if we select rite, but theres some great talent in later rounds as well that i would love to select. lets hope our "few" picks pan out.

"if" he can get healthy and pans out right, i believe he can be a great rotational player or starter opposite of Martez "if" we dont draft that explosive OLB early on(Dion Jordan, Keke Mingo, Jarvis Jones, Damontre Moore, Ziggy Ansah.)

Another guy i like mid round or so is Corey Lemonier out of Auburn, shows great talent and NFL potential.

Let me kno your thoughts...those are just a few names. Have plenty more of names that id like to see us draft but thats good for now.

If Saints had a 2nd round pick, Ried would look so good in black and gold. What did he do to fall?

J.J. Wilcox, S, Georgia Southern

Looks right up our alley. Small school 2A prospect that fits an area of interest that could be a hidden gem... in time. Would make an intriguing mid round pick.

I would look long and hard at picking him if he is there in the fourth. he has special teams ace written all over him in year one.

there in the fifth a no brainer

I haven't paid much attention to the draft process as I use to. Honestly I want that hybrid DE/OLB in the first and the rest of the picks elsewhere. I only care about Mingo/Jordan/Ansah right now. Maybe after the combine I may be more into it.

Yep, thats when we'll discover these guys true height and weight.

I'm OK with Jordan if he's bumping 250. If he's at 230, no thanks.
