Round 6 Pick 26: Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma
Round 6 Pick 28 (CAR): Kevin Norwood, WR, Alabama
Round 7 Pick 4 (OAK): Howard Jones, OLB, Shepherd

I like it however I would be amazed if Landry and Baptiste fall to round 3. Those guys would be a steal of a pick.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator

I think everyone is waiting on LSU pro day for Landry

Stanley Jean-Baptiste - i would not be surprised to see some take him early on because he probably will not be there in round 2 for our pick. the only thing that hurts him is his lack of playing time as a CB.

Landry was even being touted by some as better than Odell Beckam Jr...

4.77 combine? wth happened there? hands rote running and toughness he is better than Beckham in my book. he might get pigeonholed as a slot only and that would make him drop which if the saints are looking at him that is a good thing

Maybe it's my bias, cynicism against Ohio St players and their overall history of flubbing in the NFL, but I see BUST...

I spent a lot of time watching him play the past couple of years and I think his positives are what's going to keep him from having a long career in the NFL. He is a crazy hitter. He kind of reminds me of a berserker Vaccaro. I'm thinkin' he'll have a good year, maybe two then spend the rest of his life in a body cast. I'm thinking Van Noy would be a much better pick and then look at Wisconsin's Borland in the second or third. Those two are about the smartest LB's I say play last year.

I'm expecting Jarvis to have a much better Pro Day & his body of work don't lie. Some guys just perform when the lights come on. I think this kid is a gamer.

K, the lights were on at the combine because that's the biggest mile marker in a pro football player's career...

Don't get me wrong, agree with you he's got talent and I do wish the guy well, but we don't need to invest a high draft pick in a possession receiver...

Especially have we just let one geaux that we developed though getting pricey...

Slow 40 time might not hurt Jarvis Landry in draft | LSU | The Advocate — Baton Rouge, LA

...No one anticipated the 5-foot-11, 205-pound Landry to emerge from the combine as a speedster...But neither did anyone expect Landry would run 40 yards slower than the 306-pound Terron Armstead did at the 2013 combine. Armstead, now a tackle for the Saints, clocked a 4.71...

14 former Yellow Jackets perform drills for NFL scouts
Former defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu healthy

By GEORGE HENRY

Associated PressMarch 28, 2014

ATLANTA -- Defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu reached back slightly for his right hamstring at the start of Georgia Tech's pro day.

It didn't take long though for Attaochu to realize his hamstring was healthy and that he could perform without hesitation in front of NFL scouts on Friday.

"I think I did great," he said. "I surprised myself a little bit. I pushed through and I worked hard. That's all they want to see -- run fast and think fast."

Attaochu, Georgia Tech's career sacks leader, has progressed quickly since tearing his hamstring Jan. 25 at the Senior Bowl.

He missed the league's scouting combine last month in Indianapolis, but went through requisite interviews with several NFL teams, including Tennessee, the New York Jets, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Philadelphia and the New York Jets.

But it wasn't nearly the same as trying to prove himself on the field.

Scouts watched Attaochu and 13 other former Yellow Jackets do some of the same drills used at the combine each year.

Attaochu, who's hoping to be drafted in the second or third round next month, said several scouts told him that he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.

He reported no problems with changing directions quickly during shuttle drills.

"Being able to show the scouts my athletic ability today was great," Attaochu said. "The film shows that, but being able to reassure them out here at pro day."

Attaochu doesn't seem to lack confidence in talents.

At 6-foot-3, 242 pounds, he's not built big like the NFL's prototypical defensive ends, but Attaochu doesn't fit the mold of an exclusive third-down pass rusher.

Regardless, Attaochu said he's as good in coverage as he is in reaching the quarterback, either coming from a three-point stance or from edge as a linebacker.

"The league is getting more versatile," he said. "They need guys like me that can stand up and put their hand in the ground. That definitely works to my advantage."
