Larry Holders latests 7 rounder
Not bad at all, dont like Thomas personally. I just think he is too small to stay healthy long term. Larry Holder's projections for the Saints' 2014 draft class:* Marquise Lee The Saints need a playmaking wide receiver. Lee made big plays in his first two years of college with Matt Barkley throwing to him Predictably, his numbers fell with a new signal-caller. Lee (6 feet, 192 pounds) could find that same rapport he created with Barkley here in New Orleans with Drew Brees.* *Jeremiah*Attaochu The 6-3, 252-pound defender seems like he'd be a perfect fit to bring youth and speed to the Saints' outside linebacker spot. It's hard to question his production with 31 ½ career sacks at Georgia Tech, a school record. Desir CB It didn't feel right for me to have the Saints with no small-school players in last week's projections. Desir isn't just a flier, either. He certainly possesses NFL size at 6-1, 198 pounds. G Trai Turner, Turner (6-3, 310) could be an NFL starter in his rookie year. So why would the Saints take a starting guard when they have Pro Bowl players Ben Grubbs and Jahri Evans? They could bolster their depth for 2014 then go with Turner as a starter in 2015. Kevin Norwood I've seen him play since high school in D'Iberville (Miss.). Tall and lanky (6-2, 198), but his 4.48-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine was better than I expected. Plus, the Saints have expressed plenty of interest in Norwood, according to a source I talked to last week. Bryan Stork This pick is a no-brainer pick. The Saints need competition at center. Stork (6-4, 315) visited the Saints, so this seems easy to gauge. DeAnthony Thomas The Saints don't make a regular habit of drafting running backs, but Thomas could be compete for a Darren Sproles-like role. |
"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
These things are fun.
27 CB DARQUEZE DENNARD MICHIGAN STATE 58 ILB CHRISTIAN JONES FLORIDA STATE 91 WR MARTAVIS BRYANT CLEMSON 126 CB PIERRE DESIR LINDENWOOD 167 OLB ADRIAN HUBBARD ALABAMA 169 C RUSSELL BODINE NORTH CAROLINA 202 WR LDAMIAN WASHINGTON MISSOURI Got one of the top CB's in the draft in Dennard. Has the size and speed we need. Next, I picked up the tall, athletic, fast and rangy ILB we've been lacking to really make this 3-3-5 defense take off. Oh, and improve our tackling problems on defense too. I think I got great value on a speed receiver here and another offensive weapon to keep our O at the top of the league. Couldn't believe Pierre was still here and it never hurts to have plenty of guys at CB with all the injuries and would allow us to get rid of PRob. or White. Lets face it guys, they may be ok or even good, but we need better and we need it now. Next, I hedged our bets with the OLB from Bama in case the guy we got from Dallas doesn't come all the way back. Insurance is a good thing. I'm all for Tim Lelito, but lets face it. Depth, Depth, Depth. We need it. Lastly, you guessed it, I took an insurance policy at WR too. Can't have enough good players. Ok, so what do you think?? |

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
Glaring needs vs tweaks
A bunch of folks here keep looking at the defense with a bunch of draft picks. Right now, I'd say our defense -especially with the FA signings- is far better than our offense. We have some glaring needs out there we really should consider. Here's how I rank it: 1. We need an NFL ready center. We need the best center available in the draft. Period. 2. We need a foot. Too many of our games are being left up to the foot of one guy. We need the best out there. That should put 2-3 more W's in our column alone. 3. We need some hands. Our guys are getting old and we need someone who can get open and have the ball actually stick in their hands. Fortunately the draft is deep in these guys this year. 4. Then after that we can look at tweaking the D which will rate out better than the O this year if we don't get some fixes in. |

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
I still think we need a OLB/DE this year. You cant just leave it to Jordan and Junior. Galettes sacks come in fits and starts so we need to make sure we still get pressure.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
Surprised to see some major news sources (not being Bleacher Report and Yardbacker), having mock drafts of Jordan Matthews selected in round 2 to teams after our second pick...
IF Matthews is there in Round 2, don't be surprised Payton selects JM, if not Round 1... |
