I like it. I still want to take a chance on Mathieu, but I love the idea of Keke Mingo at 15.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Looks pretty good. He should have worked in a OT somewhere in there though.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Still hoping that we get an opportunity to trade down and net a 2nd

Maybe the Cowgirls will want Vaccarro bad enough...

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Definitely need to pick at least one OT from the draft and possibly one from the UDFA pool.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

I think they will sign a left tackle in free agency. Brown is still young and untested... kind of the same thing if we draft a tackle. Unless we are talking about one of the upper tier tackles in the draft, I honestly would not want an inexperienced young player protecting Drew's back this year.

I could live with Mingo with our first rounder. But I would really like to see them trade down and add more depth through the draft.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

No way Williams is still around in the fourth.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Yeah I usually like this website for the draft but they have us picking Mingo over Jarvis Jones and Demontre Moore which would be a huge mistake... Also I think the Saints may be comfortable with OLB and go after a NT in the first... Of course our First round pick doesnt matter much because they are destine to be mediocre at best; that being said maybe they do go with Mingo.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

I'd say that too except they were really working it for Kruger. Didn't read it, but is the article figuring Jones and Moore will already both be gone by 15?

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Mingo is a higher rated player then Jones, and is truly a pass rush specialist.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

The question is, who do the Saints rate higher? They'll probably take a place kicker or WR with their 15 leaving us all with big WTFs on our foreheads anyway...

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

I wouldn't mind a kicker...ours is horrible...lol.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

He's wrong.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

cue Danno..lmao

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Why? I have no problem at all with drafting a Kicker. They're pretty important.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Unlike those good for nothing punters! ;-)

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

lol...

hope you are being sarcastic ...

Well shouldn't say that, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

has Steelers talking Jones at 17 and Moore going to the Pats at 27

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Whoa! Mingo rated higher than Jones?! Wait just a minute. I'm pretty sure that there was a point (before the scariness about Jones' back problem came fully to light) that Jarvis Jones was considered the best talent in this entire draft pool. Keke Mingo is the DEFINITION of "Boom or Bust". He is undersized and does not have the stats from college to pad his hype. Now I know that he has the athletic measurables to suggest that he will become a good NFL player, but he is also a "Bust Trap" waiting to explode on some unsuspecting team. I think that the Saints have a very short window of Brees' godliness, and we can't afford to take such high risks at the moment. Our draft has to consist of Jordan or Ansah OR a TRADE DOWN for an extra pick and maybe a guy like Margus Hunt. I don't think there is much room for an exception to that game plan. With Jenkins, Harper, Bush, and Abdul-Quddus at the S positions and the way that we're stacking up our CBs, Our first pick HAS TO BE a proven, every down, and solid pass rusher. The closest thing to a "project" that we can afford is Ansah, and with his combination of SIZE and athleticism, he is much more ready than Mingo. I think that all of this discussion is a wash anyway though, because chances are pretty good that we trade down, in my opinion.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

If mingo is rated higher it is because of JJ's injury history not pass rush ability

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Let me take off my LSU glasses for a minute. I love Mingo as a Tiger, but im not crazy about his NFL potential. I would love Star Lotulelei, I don't think he'll be there though.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

i would be betting that this one would be a major bust

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Really...in the first round..lmao

Thats what they were implying :lol:

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

No, that would be even more dumber than burning 2 picks on a Punter in a 4 pick draft with needs everywhere else. :p

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

In the 2nd round we take Godhells first born and sacrifice him to the football gods. :wink:

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Im really starting to warm up to drafting Jesse Williams, especially if Star Lotulelei is off the board.

Re: Walter Football Mock Draft 3/20/13
 

Solid prospect, still a tad raw.
