You're throwing darts at an enormous dart board, one which will change drastically after a few key free agent signings.

Its premature draft masturbation and a huge NFL scout wannabe circle jerk.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Masturbation is fun.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Yet not as fun as the real thing.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Glad to see us staying on topic.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

The topic is premature. Its like speculating on who will replace Drew in 2018.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I could see how it could be fun though, you make projections based on what teams need vs. the players available, you try to match player skill sets with the teams play style....

And then the inevitable happens, good players do poorly at the combines and bad players to well so you have to compensate, moving players up and down draft boards...

Some players will amaze us with their Wonderlic scores. Others will amaze us that they can even tie their own shoes after their Wonderlic scores, and again, draft boards will have to be adjusted...

Some players will show in their interviews that they are proven leaders with admirable work ethics and diligent study habits, while others will be arrested for drug possession and DUIs and again, draft boards will have to be adjusted....

And after all that hard work and study, the actual draft will happen and we'll all see the all the predictions and prognostications were just wild *** guesses.

:)

But I do respect you guys like, JeanPierre, Hagen and others that study it and keep the rest of us informed on the possibilities. Thanks for that.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

No polls. No draft talk. Anything else?

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

This thread is on sticky ground.
Masturbation and talks of premature study.

You are all sick, im off to start my cheat sheets for fantasy football.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

We use the blueprint from last season and take the same approach... CB in Free Agency... Safety first round of the draft here's my guy.....

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Why do you bold all of your posts? Ego much? You do realize no one else does that, anywhere?

You aren't a mod so get over yourself. If you can't take someone disagreeing with your December draft mock fantasy thread perhaps football forums aren't really your cup of tea.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Playing mediator..

Danno - Some people enjoy poles, power rankings, some love endless draft or playoff scenarios, some people do not care for masturbation... its a mixed bag here and no one forces anyone to go into any threads and read them.

JP - While the bold is annoying, your posts are coherent and tend to lack the negative despair that a good many do.

You both have valid points and some whiny one also :)

One thing I did think of yesterday when I was running through this thread is while the thread has plenty of content for present and future use. As soon as free agency starts the Poll will be obsolete unless there is an option to change the voting. If we pick up a Center in FA that will change the dynamic of our draft.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I'm not the purple one.:p

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

premature? i am the purple guy! i have been holding out for months. :(

i love the college season leading up to the draft. :itsgood:

i have already starting looking at players to watch for 2015 .:rolleyes:

should i start now? :p

QB to replace Drew in 2018? i think a pet project from Tulane is already on the roster :bng:

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

back up gang if this thread upsets you do not venture in the thread.

we do not go after members with personal insult.

if there are issues then call them out in the smash section or PM them.

so back on topic

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry. Take them both.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Late round steal? Larry Webster, DE, Bloomsburg.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Odell Beckham - has SP type of player written all over him. my gut says he odds on favorite

Jarvis Landry - i stand buy what i said. he is the best well rounded WR coming out of college. I see a lot of Anquan Boldin in his game.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

i know he is a project and need to bulk up for a 34 big time. OLB? who knows.

temptation is there

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Haha yes I am kind of a Homer but for some reason I really like the athleticism and quick instincts I see in Ryan Shazier. He is a big hitter too. He can really improve our defense

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Mediator or matador, it's a fine line with those 2 sometimes. Good luck!!

2014 NFL Draft
 

Hagan and jeanpierre, I want your opinions on something. Of course we don't know what will happen in free agency, but if Vic Beasley and Kyle Van Noy are both available when we pick and we still have a need at OLB... Which one would y'all rather we draft? I've read countless mock drafts and those two seem to be the most common picks for us. I'm leaning towards Van Noy because of his abilities in coverage and he can play ILB if needed.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Gilbert looks pretty darn good, I liked his work. I didn't look at Mack but I will. And I would not give our picks to get the O-lineman, but if somehow someway he falls I'd take him in a heartbeat!! I hope we trade down for more picks to be honest.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

This is probably going to be one of those guys who flies up the draft board. We'll probably have to get him in the third at the latest.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

def need safety and Lb's

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

IMO i sat no. i look at washington trading into 1 if an OL is there. we are not so bad that moving back a few spots and picking up a pick or two would hurt the team.

besides after todays game i think we have LOT.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Beasly i am not so high on. against some of the top OT in the draft he has played against he has had little impact. i look at lB as players that need to hold there own all game long and not just a few plays ina game. I will give him this: he seems to have that knack for big plays when a game is on the line.

that bring us to Van. i like him a bit better as a steady player. he is hard to judge because like Beasley when he played top competition he kinda disappeared.

if i had to pick from only these two i would cross my fingers and go with Von. reason versatility and pass coverage skills.

there are others i would look at in round one.

FS jumps out at me along with OLB. we need to get bigger and fast.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

secondary help that can catch and turn and look for a ball thrown their way

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

We are all here talking about drafting defensive players when really it's our offense that needs help.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

lamo you saw what i saw today. white definitely need to work on reading the wr and reacting. i really like White in the slot and i think that is where he belongs. remember injury is the only reason he is outside. there are some good CB in the draft but tackling is often over looked. look at day 2 and three for so,e really nice CB to draft and develop and have shown great promise with improvement of there over all game this year.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I've seen it all year by everyone except Lewis. Far too many times our corners are in catch up mode. People say I'm a pessimistic fan but I see what I see. I don't care for White at all except for depth

Id also love to see some offensive line upgrades and some Lb upgrades but secondary is my biggest need IMHO

Ty Montgomery WR Stanford 6015 215 4.52/4.42

I can round 1 going to Odell Beckham Jr. WRhe has SP falsh and dash written all over him. lol

I would love to see Cyril Richardson selected by the saints. a well rounded OG that has speed/quickness to play some ROT. 355 pound men are not suppose to be that quick.

The next pick Morgan Moses, also address the Ol and it's present day depth as well as looking to the future for new starters. i now i am beating my drum for this kid but to get a RT that has the ability to play LT if needed is a glaring need. That was Streifs job before he became a starter and the saints have not found a player to take that role. I really think he will stand out at the combine. ROT that can has the quickness of a OG when pulling? not bad. i rate him as one of the better gambles in the draft.

Both player come from teams that require blocking at the second level, pulling and screen blocking. Both are probably among the best at playing on the move. run blocking is not an issue and both are solid pass blockers also. with them the saints would get immediate upgrade for team speed and athleticism on the OL.

with both picks you might have the future replacement to go with Armstead.

WR is an issue plus a blocking TE would help. god knows Graham is one of the worse blocking TE in the NFL.
