Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

NFL Network's Albert Breer notes that teams in the top 10 picks are already making calls to bail out of the early parts of the first-round.

Breer notes that the decision "makes sense with the makeup of this class, few elite guys," many with late first-round grades. At some point, teams will likely not find partners to trade down, but a prospect like Tavon Austin could be a target from teams wanting to move up.

McShay just mocked Alec Ogletree to us at 15.

Gotta say, I'm starting to see the logic.

We cold still get Ogletree if we traded down a few spots. But trade-downs are not gonna get us what they normally would. This draft is 2 rounds deep with 1st round talent. Everyone wants to trade down.

Its a trade-up market.

Screw it. I'm jumping on the Mingo train. Get him!

Next stop Bust-town. Population: Every 1 or 2 pick we have ever made.

If we are going to go down, might as well go down with a hometown boy.

Haha, that's hilarious because I'm starting to feel the exact same way! I don't really like Mingo but everybody and their cousin's mock draft has us taking him so let's just do it LOL.

2013 Saint's Draft Mock (JeanPierre)

[Updated 2013/03/29]

R1(15) LB Alec Ogletree, Georgia

R2 Forfeit

R3(75) OL Barrett Jones, Bama

R4(109) LB Chase Thomas, Stanford

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

R6(183) QB Ryan Griffin, Tulane



Note: Would like to move into the mid-second round with a trade and ensure we select OL Barrett Jones, Bama allowing us to use our third round pick for OT Chris Faulk, LSU - a trade of a running back would be a likely scenario...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

With all the depth we suddenly have at linebacker (that is not to say the talent level is totally awesome), seems like we might be able to make some trades there as well with a transitioning 4-3 team (i.e. Dallas)...

I really don't see how Will Smith will fit in our 3-4 scheme...

Have my doubts about Junior Galette as an OLB (Jack)...

And can Greg Romeus finally emerge from this terrible cloud of injuries...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

Since we signed Butler I feel that we're going to trade down for late 1st and 2nd round picks, take a Safety in the 1st and Pass Rusher in the 2nd.

1 - S - Vaccaro/Cyprien or Reid
2 - OLB - Okafor/Montgomery
3 - OL - Armstead
4 - CB - Mathieu
5 - DL - Brandon Williams
6 - QB - Griffin
