Thought I'd start this discussion now...

not because in no way shape or form is this season done because of the two clunckers in the past three weeks against NFC West foes that have physically whooped us...

But while game play is still on...we can have a fresher look at the team as opposed till waiting for the offseason...

We've seen with the defense how getting younger players can make a huge difference rather than running out "trusted" veterans for another year...

Schmohams

All of the above.

This is a first attempt to mock what I'd like to see our draft look like if we finish as projected...

R1 OT Antonio Richardson, Tennessee, 6-6/330
R2 LB Telvin Smith, Florida State, 6-2/224
R3 LB Jeremiah Attaochu, Georgia Tech, 6-3/242
R4 OL Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State, 6-3/340
R5 CB Antone Exum, Virginia Tech, 6-0/220
R6 RB Roderick McDowell, Clemson, 5-9/200
R7 Traded for Parys Haralson to 49ers for 2014 conditional seventh round pick

...I'd like to see us get younger, faster, stronger, cap-friendlier...

i just do not get it

i have watched more than once this year being stuck on the east coast in acc land. i just do not get the kid. talent is there but he just leaves me disappointed in every game. he is inconsistent big time. lazy untapped potential

sell me on him

for some reason i can see SP getting another toy early

R1 - Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU

just can see this pick all day long from him.

JP's Saints Mock Draft, not sexy, but a great re-stock group...

R1 OT Morgan Moses, Virginia, 6-6/325

R2 DB Pierre Desir, Lindenwood, 6-1/195

R3 LB Jeremiah Attaochu, Georgia Tech, 6-3/252

R4 C Marcus Martin, USC, 6-3/310

R6 RB Rajion Neal, Tennessee, 5-11/210

R7 TRADED for Parys Haralson to 49ers for 2014 conditional seventh round pick



Notes: Big Changes when you get all these prospects in the same room competing against each other...

Best Player Available definitely trumps need...

Hope we're very active in exploring trades...

There's an abundance of young talent with a ton of upside...

This is the draft to have extra mid-round picks to replace expensive slower veterans...

Biggest Disappointment has been in Deonne Buccanon; he's struggled in coverage skills; maybe nerves, maybe level of competition, will see how he does in game...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I kept wondering when I was looking at the 7 round mock why we didn't have a seventh round pick!!!! I totally forgot about that trade.
