R1 (27) OT Morgan Moses, Virginia

R2 (58) TE Tory Niklas, Notre Dame

R3 (91) WR Jeff Janis, Saginaw Valley State

R4 (122) CB Antone Exum, Virginia Tech

R5 (155) DE Taylor Hart, Oregon

R6 (186) OLB Ron Powell, Florida

Again, if OLB Howard Jones, Shepherd University, had been in the player pool I would have taken him in the sixth round...

As Jimmy Graham and his agent have lost their collective minds, I'd be happy having another first round pick, this season and next and really do some damage in this very deep draft...

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

went with who is hot in my book.
starting CB and 1 developmental
starting WR and 1 developmental
OL gets starter capability at RT but back up at OG and can take over the long snapper duties
Tall fast FS/CB combo player to roll the dice on.

Verrett is way too short for a first round cornerback...

I think he maxes out as a nickel corner anyways...

I'd rather hope Antone Exum falls to us in the fourth, or...

...geaux after Corey Fuller in the second round...

155. Adrian Hubbard - OLB - Alabama

186. Kevin Norwood - WR - Alabama

It'd be really interesting if Ha'sean Clinton-Dix fell to us at 27; Jean-Baptiste in the second seems early, though the raw talent is there, I think, at best, he's a late third rounder which is where the Saints currently are assinged...

R1 (27) CB Justin Gilbert, Oklahoma St

R2 (58) TE Troy Niklas, Notre Dame

R3 (91) RB Charles Sims, West Virginia

R4 (122) WR Jeff Janis, Saginaw Valley St

R5 (155) DE Taylor Hart, Oregon

R6 (186) C Russell Bodine, North Carolina


Rounds 2-6 could definitely be there, I just don't see how Gilbert keeps falling through to Pick No. 27; if this were our draft, and we took a quality first round pick, I'd be stoked...

Thus the chip on his shoulder. Even if he did max stay at nickle that is a key position in todays NFL. like SS has been rewritten so has the role and the playing time of the nickle back. Pass happy league three wides almost always on the field he is worth the pick. the saints can then let Vaccaro play more of a safety role in the defense and free him up to bounce around even more. I see a ton value in kid in the middle of the field and out in the flats on RB and WR screens. the biggest whole in the saints defense would be plugged. besides this would be the first time the saints had a CB quick enough and fast enough to deal with the Steve Smiths and Wes Welkers type of receivers. i could almost go as far as him single handily shutting down the seem. I could see the saints playing a truer form of man coverage with him in the line up. he gets the pain in the but speedy jitter bugs.

yep i am selling him hard

Do not be surprised to see him go in the first. he is a solid wild card to bounce up there. I like the kid a lot. he answer my questions at the combine. now outside he would be a solid upgrade. then white can go back to the middle of the field were his skill set seem to fit better. trade back land him and an additional pick? thats a solid move in the draft.

R6 - C Russell Bodine, North Carolina

i think most of the knocks on the kid can be coached out of him
