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.

Kevin...

Don't get me wrong, Verrett is a great talent - I just don't think with his physical attributes he warrants a first or even a second round pick...

Fuller is starting to grow on me...

But in the second, I really like Troy Niklas, TE, Notre Dame to offset would could be the departure of Graham - while Niklas may be slightly less the receiver Graham is, he can block, and that versatility has me intrigued...

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

...geaux after Corey Fuller in the second round...
My skill set comparison is still with Brent Grimes. Verrett is my sleeper pick.

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...

Re: Mock Draft Simulator

R6 - C Russell Bodine, North Carolina

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

Weston Richburg I like for a third round pick...

Marcus Martin intrigues, but not sold on 'em...

Tyler Larsen struggled at Senior Bowl...

Bodine made a solid Combine statement...

Re: Mock Draft Simulator

27 CB JUSTIN GILBERT
OKLAHOMA STATE

58 TE AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS
WASHINGTON

91 WR JARVIS LANDRY
LSU

122 C BRYAN STORK
FLORIDA STATE

155 DE JOSH MAURO
STANFORD

186 ILB DEDE LATTIMORE
SOUTH FLORIDA

I am 100% sure Gilbert will not be on the board when it is our time, but that draft would be sensancional specialy if we let Jimmy go. My favourite 1st round pick would be Calvin Pryor, that kid is a beast, tremendous athleticism and hard-hitter, the upgrade would be so huge that I would prefer our secondary over the Seahawks.

My moves as a GM would be:
-Bring a guy like David Ayers for OLB, a veteran CB (Munnerlyn) or FS (Delmas, Woodson, Clark).
-Draft Verret, Gilbert, Pryor, Clinton-Dix or Dennard(1ST ROUND), a TE, WR and C in the following rounds.
-Bring Strief back and let Jimmy, Jenkins and Moore walk away.

These moves would allow us to upgrade in many áreas while still remaining under the cap.
