i have accepted the fact that the saints have to be one of the hardest teams to prdict in the draft. they could go defense with 2 picks and all offense the rest of the way.

So what surprises are waiting for us this year? i can not wait lol

BPA Lane Johnson would be sweet.

Drafting a WR in the first or third round would be a waste. We need OT and DE. Safety help wouldn't be bad either. **** it...take a RB!!!

If players that could fall and still be there at #15 like Lotulelei, Rhodes, Johnson, or Fluker aren't there, I hope the Saints can trade down. Two of the most mentioned here like Mingo and Jones just aren't worthy of a top #15 pick. They'll probably be good players but I don't see them having the impact the Saints need or the slot warrants. I'd rather have Collins in the 2nd. Equal talent and better value. If the Saints have to stay at #15, I'd rather they take Austin than Mingo or Jones. He will make more plays for the team than the two OLB's. And lets face it, it's going to be on the offense to carry the load this season.

Im not sure about your point about Austin over Mingo. You can go a long way with fixing a bad defense with getting a little pressure on the qb and with a hard working athletic freak. He could be a bust but if you cant trade down and mingo is their I would not mind that pick at all. Of course I am not an NFL scout and have no idea who the saints love. According to one report they are high on Tank. I just hope we find a trade partner before we draft someone who will be there ten or so picks later

It seems like I've heard about 20 different players that won't be there at 15....I'm no mathematician,but I'm sure one of these players will be there

I could see us picking offense if any of the tackles fall, or WR's Austin or Patterson, but only if the top DE/DT/OLB's are gone.
