Dang JP, your as bad as Mayock and Kiper. How many mocks have you posted?

Well, got to thinking that Jones may not last till the fourth (he shouldn't) even though some of the news I'm seeing (and reading/over-reading between the lines) suggests that he may not play his rookie year...

I just find it difficult in today's NFL to see a GM taking him with that risk of not playing before the fourth round...

But I'm crushing on him almost as bad as Ogletree...

If we take Vaccaro over Ogletree, I think I'll have Malcolm Jenkins over Clay Matthews flashbacks and throw up to the point I'll have to attend to the local ER for dehydration...

Hagan has told me that won't happen, but I think he's just trying to be friend and limit how long I'll be sick if we take a Safety in a deep safety draft over an impact LB that could play all four (Mike, Will, Sam, Jack) linebacker spots and actually start immediately...

Rest easy Jeanpierre, there's folk out there that want Vaccarro much worse than we do. We could make out alright because of that.

R6 (183) FS Cody Davis, Texas Tech University

R1 (15) FS Kenny Vaccaro, University of Texas

I didn't like this pick because of several reasons. First, I felt the same athleticism was available in a linebacker, and the Saints front seven has been neglected far too long; second, NFL security must have found enough concerns too make Ogletree fall past the Saints et al to the Rams with their second pick of the draft which allowed the Rams to take the risk on a rare WOW/Impact Athlete; Third, regardless of his timed 40 (all Combine/ProDay events should be in pads), with Jarvis Jones and two quality five technique Tackles still on the board, I still question the wisdom; fourth, this was a deep draft for Safeties with very little in separation of same, we could have waited till later rounds to take one or even two; Finally, we need a safety that can make interceptions and other plays and Vaccaro have very little on film to suggest this; that said Harper sucks that much with Jenkins right on his tail so if Vacarro isn't starting at FS by the close of training camp, this will be a bad start to the Ryan era - Grade: D...


R2 Forfeit

With Federal Legal sanctions coming again over the Vitt/Vicodin scandal, will we lose other picks? There needs to be some accountability over this; some friends that I've talk to suggest the Goodell BountyBeatdown was as much to do with the Vicodin Controversy as it was the Bounty Fiasco...


R3 (75) OL Terron Armstead, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff

WoW - Guess Miracles to offset mistakes really happen; Have like this kid since we started this thread; never imagined he'd fall to us in the third and it was a no brainer grabbing him; he should take over by the time training camp closes at either Tackle unless he struggles with technique or the playbook; rally excited about this pick; wanted San Jose's Quessenberry here, will gladly take a young man who took charge of his life and made an impact to get drafted; Grade - A+...


R3 (82 from Miami) DT John Jenkins, University of Georgia

This kid has really impressed me the way he worked very hard on his conditioning, something that will be a red flag with him for his career; he's lacked some things in his life that many of us take for granted; he's massive and he's an athlete; If he understands that his work/path has just begun, he will be a great value; Great Fit and natural Nose Tackle...

That said, did we need to spend BOTH fourth round picks to get here?!?

Could we not get a Third Round pick from the Jets?

Like Jenkins, again disappointed in the Saints Draft Management for paying what they paid, but they got lucky with great value being there and made the move to get him; Grade - B-...

R4 (106) Traded to Miami (from NY Jets)

Measurables may have made LB Chase Thomas, Stanford University fall through the draft; but he's a natural pro 3-4 OLB with a high motor and excited we got him - will remind alot of folks of Scott Fujita; he will be a better OLB fit that what we have already...


R4 (109) Traded to Miami

The Steelers got a steal in DE Nicholas Williams, Samford University who would have been a great fit at DE in the Saints new 3-4; more on that later...


R5 (144) WR Kenny Stills, Oklahoma

If there's a position we've kept whiffing on, it's Wide Receiver; we get Colston in the seventh round and guess Nature is balancing things the rest of the way; like Coach Payton, I like tall Wide Receivers to gain advantages over six foot and less defensive backs; Stills has a Pro Pedigree and can run and is disciplined in his routes; but the hands are suspect and that's a big red flag; there was greater value and need and with limited picks, this was a luxury pick we didn't need to take; Grade - D...

We caught a break that QB Ryan Griffin, Tulane University made it through to the Saints as an UDFA; Really hoping we can keep him on the roster and pulling for him to move past the recent FA signings and make this squad so he can develop...


R6 (183) DE Rufus Johnson, Tarleton State

I like real, feel-good stories and, like Jenkins, this wil be a story to watch unfold; but why are we still picking 4-3 Defensive Ends?!? Available players were FS Cody Davis, Texas Tech, FS Bacarri Rambo of Georgia, DE Joe Kruger of Utah, DL Nicholas Williams of Samford, DT Jared Smith of New Hampshire would have been much better value; the Rams got another guy I really liked as an UDFA in FS Cody Davis, Texas Tech University; the Rams got a steal here; I will be pulling for Johnson, but the Saints Draft Management really drop the ball again; Grade - C...

Overall Grade > C
