or maybe they are finally listening to me

So, no Lane Johnson in the top 18?!

Wouldn't he be a better pick for the Saints at #15 since they have a pressing need to add more talent at the LT position?

like i said agreeing with PTF makes me second guess myself

Pretty much all the pre-draft rankings I've seen have listed Johnson as the #3 OT before Fluker, but this mock has Fluker going #21 and Johnson #27.

What am I missing here?!

I have to believe that if Johnson is available at #15, and there are no big trade down offers; the Saints will pick him.

Probably because Johnson can play LT and RT very well, but Fluker may be an elite RT. If a team is looking for strictly a RT, Fluker's the man.

But do you think Johnson will drop as far down as the Texans?
