2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

[jeanpierre]

Saints/Bengals Trade Scenario

Saints trade rights to RB Chris Ivory and pick R1(15)

for

Bengals' picks R2 (37), R2 (53), and R6 (190)

2013 Saint's Draft Mock (JeanPierre)

[Updated 2013/03/27]

R2(37) OL Barret Jones, Bama

R2 Forfeit

R2(53) LB Jaime Collins, So. Miss

R3(75) OL Chris Faulk, LSU

R4(109) LB Chase Thomas, Stanford

R5(144) NT T.J. Barnes, Georgia Tech

R6(183) RB Raymond Graham, Pitt

R6(190) QB Ryan Griffin, Tulane

Really would like to see this kind of thing happen, because many of these players will fall at or just after these slots in the draft...

Don't think there'd be that much drop off from Ogletree to Collins and we'd get a hell of a football player in Barrett Jones...

I wonder if they have their eyes on any mid round OTs? seems to be where we excel in the draft.

Chris Faulk will be avail in mid-rounds - his issues are medical, if risk can be overcome, he's a first round talent otherwise...

Through a bunch up against the wall and see what sticks?!? Know what you mean...

Chris Faulk, OT, LSU
Bench: 25
Faulk ranked among the top offensive tackles in the country. season-ending torn ACL suffered in practice following the 2012 season opener. required separate surgeries a month apart on his medial collateral ligament and anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews has given Faulk the "no red flags"
Dr. James “He’s the man.” Andrews
The patients list: Brett Favre, Charles Barkley, Jack Nicklaus, Donovan McNabb, Drew Brees, Dwyane Wade, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz just to name a few

it gets no better than James Andrews. i would not be surprised to see him go in the third now

Adam Schefter ✔ @AdamSchefter

Chiefs are seeking a second-round pick in this year's draft as well as another pick in 2014 in a trade for franchise OT Branden Albert.

moved it over here. Slept on it and i can not let it go

I can just see SP and Andy working something out especially now Andy is in the AFC. they do go back together in the coaching past. So i have play with it

so giving up our 1st #15 (1050) for Branden Albert

here is the tricky parts
1) what is Albert worth? 2nd or 3rd round value? what?
I am going to highball him @ mid second round value (420) (balance: 630pts)
2) Harper and Albert redo contracts

we receive
2013
swapping 3rds #75 to #63 (61)
4th #99 (104)
6th #170 (24.3)
(balance: 450.3 pts or #45 in the 2nd)

** Chiefs have comp picks at the bottom of the 3rd and 5th

2014 (option year)
swapping first's and/or a pick to be determined (2014 and/or 2015)
or
2nd and/or a pick to be determined (2014 and//or 2015)
wont work?

safety clause for the saints: and/or a pick to be determined
safety clause for the chiefs: (2014 and/or 2015)

now in 2014 chiefs should be picking in the top 15 baring one of the greatest turn around in nfl history.

I am saying we win the NFC south and make it deep into the playoffs so picking in the the 30 range.

Getting to the NFC championship game will be a hard road. if we can avoid SF and the seahawks on the west coast things look good if not the odds are not in our favor

so i have over valued Albert IMO so swapping first is not really out of the question unless they tank it. But the chiefs are not that bad really. they actually can end up above .500 easily. so the pick drops lower. Means the additional pick increases in value. differ to next year increase that pick value yet again. it just gives both sides room to work and make the deal work.

now if the chiefs pick after us they hand over their first

Okay, the rest of that post was some kind of foreign language, but I did understand this part and just gotta say:
If we're back up to snuff and Rob really is capable then SF and the Seahawks are going to be needing to avoid us. We are very close to being that. WHO DAT?

I think the last thing either west coast team wants to do is come to the dome. i hate west coast weather during the playoffs also
