Re: Mock Draft Simulator
Just reading some reports on the mid/late round centres and it seems a really weak spot in the draft.All of them either lack strength or really struggle with speed. Im hoping that the Saints maybe bring Goodwin in for a year and see about developing one of them for a year and if they are not up to it draft the best C next year.
Example report (C) Gabe Ikard Just reading up on him now as a mid/late round Centre. The report is he is on the ground alot and not to strong,also struggles with speed. Next year early rankings have Hroniss Grasu Oregon and Reese Dismukes Auburn as the best two centres. STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES STRENGTHS: Impressive quickness to render opponents ineffective, often peeling off the defensive tackle to take on defenders at the second level when run blocking and easily sliding laterally to handle pass pro duties. Impressive core strength while anchoring. Most impressive, because of his athleticism, Oregon is one of the few teams that asks its center to pull. WEAKNESSES: Compares To: Max Unger, C, Seahawks -- like the other former Duck, Grasu relies on athleticism and technique rather than power. --Rob Rang PLAYER OVERVIEW The Los Angeles native was a two-way starter at Crespi High School who was a first-team all-state selection as a sophomore. By the time he was a senior, Grasu was a stalwart on an offensive line paving the way for 1,958 rushing yards. Like many Oregon recruits, Grasu wasn't highly coveted by all the major programs. A three-star recruit by ESPN.com, Grasu was valued by the Ducks for his athleticism. After redshirting in 2010, he jumped in as a 14-game starter redshirt freshman. He built his string of consecutive starts to 27 entering the 2013 season after earning first-team Pac-12 honors in 2012. (9/24/13) |

Colorado State's Weston Richburg is a phone both technitian. head on a swivel quick feet, good short area mobility and athleticism. The biggest pluses on the kid is Highly intelligent.great intangibles, Biggest knock is strength. sandwiched between two all pro's and some weight training he should be good to go and only get better Arkansas' Travis Swanson. Best suited for a zone-blocking scheme? dirty player is always a plus in the trenches if he is smart and gets away with it. There in lies the rub. can he handle the mental aspect of the job at the NFL level. never talked to the kid so i can not answer that concern, but at times his play did leave you wondering. Plus he does not seem to play with his head on a swivel as well i would like. developmental picks Utah State's Tyler Larsen Ahh a pre season must watch of mine. He did not disappoint. scrappy blue collar mentality that held his own. he loves his pancakes that is for sure. he definitely is among the best at finishing of his blocks at all levels. i actual watched second level defenders pull and flinch when Tyler had them in his sights. truly fun to watch. man-blocking system? maybe but with his mentality i think he is hard to pigeon hole. Oklahoma's Gabe Ikard i do not get this kid. he may play up to his competition. at times this year he looked like a #1 OC totally ingored by the media much. So focus and comment are my #1 concerns with him. But the skill set is there North Carolina Russell Bodine Now IMO here is a player that must interview well and should have probably stayed in school. Because if your looking for a player that may develop into a starter but at the very least has an excellent shot at developing into a valuable backup at both OG and OC for years to come, this might just be the guy. He needs some positioning coaching without a doubt. he got exposed this year trying to be the heart and soul of the interior line. But as a Jr i have to ask learning experience or serious limitations. i am going with a wake up call As you can see i like interior OL that are blue collar and have a nasty edge to there game. Spiting on a defenders hand is cool in my book, aka Conrad Dobler mentality. ;) But they have to smart and play with their heads on swivel in order to pick up the complex stunts and blitzes that will have thrown at them at the NFL level. no matter who you draft you will need a safety blanket IMO in the presence of a veteran mentor to back them up and coach-em. |

Andrew Jackson is really interesting,as long as the offfield issue(not sure what it was) are not a issue he is a underlooked talent on paper. Another interesting one if the team could get his head straight is Roland Powell OVERVIEW 2013: Played in 11 games and started in eight. 2012: Tore his left ACL two different times. First ACL tear came in spring game, and then second came during rehab. 2011: Played and started in 12 games. 2010: Played in 13 games and made one start. High school: Was No. 1-rated defensive end recruit (Rivals). ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Looks the part -- well-proportioned, athletic, muscular build. Natural bender. Terrific agility. Can stunt and loop. Closes fast. Flashes strong hands and power potential. Loose hips to zone drop. Was deployed as a stand-up linebacker and hand-in-the-dirt rush end. Has untapped potential. WEAKNESSES Inconsistent get-off. Average eyes and instincts -- has to see it before he triggers. Shoddy edge setter. Plays short-armed, gets locked up and allows linemen to capture his outside shoulder. Aimless, unrefined pass rusher. Intensity and urgency leave something to be desired. Has coasted on natural talent. Had his tires pumped since high school -- entitlement was an issue as a young player and his personality could rub some people the wrong way. Injury history. DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 3-4 BOTTOM LINE Powell is a physically gifted, inconsistent, college Buck (hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker) with crude strength and athleticism. Has developmental value as a stand-up rush linebacker, but must dedicate himself to the craft and realize hes no longer the big man on campus. Ron Powell*, OLB, Florida Height: 6-3. Weight: 237. 40 Time: 4.65. Projected Round (2014): 4-6. 4/12/14: Powell started the 2013 season strongly and recorded two sacks against Miami. He got banged up and barely played against Arkansas and LSU. Powell finished the season playing solid football and entered the 2014 NFL Draft rather than taking another injury risk. He notched 26 tackles with seven tackles for a loss and four sacks, but his collegiate career fell far short of expectations. Powell was lighter than expected at the Combine, but he ran well. 8/14/13: Powell was out for the 2012 season after a setback during rehab for his knee injury. The Gators are optimistic that he is in store for a big season in 2013. They are projecting Powell to be a starter, and he has been on the practice field without restrictions in training camp. The redshirt junior has the physical talent to be a first-round pick. Powell was the No. 1 recruit in the nation in 2010. He had a rough start as a freshman, recording just 25 tackles with 2.5 tackles for a loss and a sack. Powell was moved was moved to hybrid defensive end and outside linebacker for 2011 in Will Muschamp's defense. The 'Buck' linebacker produced some quality prospects like Sergio Kindle and Brian Orakpo for Muschamp when he ran the defense at Texas. Powell finished his second season with 32 tackles, nine tackles for a loss, six sacks and a forced fumble. Late in 2011, it seemed like the light bulb finally turned on as Powell showed some of the excellent speed and play-making ability that made him such a sought after recruit. He recorded four sacks in the final six games and was consistently pressuring the quarterback. There was a lot of excitement for Powell heading into 2012, but the junior tore a knee ligament in spring practice (and received a medical redshirt). Powell may be better off staying for his senior season in 2014 and continue to improve before going pro. However, there have been reports out of Gainesville that suggest Powell could explode this year |

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
On the Clock Premium: Fanspeak's NFL Mock Draft Simulator
No Good Offers on Trades, So Stood Pat... Round 1 (27) Jerimiah Attaochu, OLB, Ga Tech; Height: 6 3; Weight: 252 lbs. Rare Athlete with Rare Speed/Size Combination; Elite pass rusher with history of production and film revealing an even higher ceiling; Great attitude and person who showed trust in coaching at Senior Bowl by playing at all linebacker positions (+Versatility) and at defensive end; Nigerian immigrant with appreciation for his opportunity and fierce competitor; Can start for the Saints immediately as an upgrade at SAM; injured at Senior Bowl, didn't participate in drills at Combine but, still recovering, had an impressive Ga Tech Pro Day; First round pick for all these reasons and because he's a three down linebacker... Round 2 (58) Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss; Height: 6 2; Weight 221 lbs. Taller Wide Receiver with Big, Thick Physical Frame; Best Route Runner in the draft; Despite questions about straight line speed, ran a 4.4 at Combine; Sudden, Quick change of direction in running routes gaining a significant advantage; Good Hands with large catch radius, though he does allow some balls to his body; Still productive against elite cornerbacks in the SEC despite limited supporting cast at Ole Miss; Rare availability because of deep wide receiver class; if either Clemson's other kid, Martavis Bryant, or Vandy's Jordan Matthews is available here, we will would be happy with either of the three... Round 3 (91) Jordan Tripp, ILB, Montana; Height: 6 3; Weight 240 lbs. Touted as an outside linebacker; would be a great complement to current Saints scheme as an Inside LineBacker as Tripp displayed top end speed, quickness in coverage and in space in both Combine Drills and at Senior Bowl; history, production of stopping running back cut-back lanes as well as sideline-sideline pursuit; another unique ability is covering lesser wide receivers on intermediary routes; could upgrade either of the Inside Linebacker spots for the Saints now which is the only glaring need of upgrade on defense; Touts his versatility in interviews because he really is a 3 down linebacker... Round 4 (122) Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty; Height: 6 1; Weight: 205 lbs. Size is inline with transition to NFL move for more physical corners with long arms as a plus; first thing that jumps out is scouts' comparison to Saints' Keenan Lewis; Red Flag - started career at Illinois and pulled a bone-head theft stunt; transferred to Liberty to get priorities correct; despite adequate timed measurables (ran a 40 at 4.49 at ProDay) has second gear; displayed play-making creativity at Illinois as a freshman safety and continued at the Senior Bowl; The Football GamePlan CEO that posts here really had a great, genuine interview with Aikens at Senior Bowl (you really need to see it via youtube)... Round 5 (167) Russell Bodine, OL, UNC; Height: 6 3; Weight: 310 lbs. Strong, real strong; Versatile, can play Guard and Center at high level; in fact, while I like Weston Richburg of Colorado State, can't see spending a high pick like that when there's not much drop-off to Bodine or Larsen (who's got a brother in the NFL); but Bodine being versatile is a key to depth on the Saints 53 man roster and penchant for only keeping a couple of offensive linemen for depth; Great Knee Bend; Despite "squatty frame" has very quick feet; always seems to recover against bull rushers despite initial "skating" and able to thrown back defenders; plays with a bit of a nasty streak to his game... Round 5 (169) Howard Jones, OLB, Shepherd; Height: 6 2; Weight: 235 lbs. They finally added my Deep, Deep, Small School, Dark Horse Candidate to the FanSpeak dBase - Hoorah! A Combine Invite, Jones did not disappoint; his play has resulted in the first ever Pro Day for his school, which the Saints were one of seven (7) teams present; despite interests from larger schools in the area Virginia, Virginia Tech he had to get his grades right and so that's why he's playing at a small school; with his athleticism can be an immediate special teams contributor and with a season, season and half of development should be a starter and with his frame/size will have versatility of a 34 OLB or Ryan's 335 ILB/OLB... Round 6 (186) Justin Britt, OT, Missouri; Height: 6 6; Weight: 325 lbs. Britt has the NFL prototypical size, measurables; though often over-looked because of Mizzou's defensive candidates; expect Brittt to develop, contribute quickly as a right tackle; went up against 2014 Draft Prospects Kony Ealy and Michael Sam, but he also faced 2013 first round pick Sheldon Richardson - so he's faced talented linemen during all those weeks of practice as well as the SEC's finest; only issue with his game is second level blocking, which he could develop behind Zach Strief (and possibly be better)...

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
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. |

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.

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.

Made it happen with two (2) aggressive trades... First, couldn't resist grabbing Morgan Moses at this spot; Fanspeak has got him rated way too low, he's a first rounder for sure, so... Round 1 (27) Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia; Height; 6 6; Weight: 314 lbs. Didn't want Attaochu to get away and fall to division rivals so Saints send a 2015 first round pick and the 2014 fifth round pick (169) to Houston for the second round pick (33) and selected... Round 2 (33) Jerimiah Attaochu, OLB, Ga Tech; Height: 6 3; Weight: 252 lbs. And then Moncrief was there again so and wanted Payton to have Christmas in May so... Round 2 (58) Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss; Height: 6 2; Weight 221 lbs. Well, when the third rounder came I was going to select Jordan Tripp, ILB, Montana, but couldn't resist... Round 3 (91) Weston Richburg, C, Colorado St; Height: 6 3; Weight 298 lbs. Still wanted to upgrade inside linebacker and though Tripp was gone, got my defensive signal caller and enforcer in... Round 4 (122) Max Bullough, ILB, Michigan St; Height: 6 3; Weight 249 lbs. Second move with flow of availability at cornerback, had Saints send fifth round pick (167) and sixth round pick (202) for rebuilding Jacksonville (144) first fifth round pick... Round 5 (167) Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty; Height: 6 1; Weight: 205 lbs. And that was that... With Loomis barely leaving enough salary cap money to sign a lot of picks, so I decided to make them really count... And with so few apparent holes on the team, went for huge upgrades or great development depth and I liked the way it worked out...

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
this was the first mock i had were everyone i wanted in the rounds i wanted them were off the board for the most part and i had to do a bit of reaching here and there according to their big board.
DT LOUIS NIX - would solidify the rotation at NT so when Bunk comes to the end of his contract there will be no issues with him walking. 2 years down the road we will be better of at NT than we are today. i would love this pick. he is one of my i hope he falls to us picks. I think he has a solid chance of doing just that. WR JORDAN MATTHEWS - bit of a gamble to develop into a #1 but not so big it would hurt. i actually believe there is a chance he will be on the board here C WESTON RICHBURG - an OC that could play OG. pro ready and intelligent and has shot gun snapping down to an art. i was surprised to see him here but an OC seems to be a given in round 3. one of the top 3 because after that there is a huge drop off in talent or players that need serious time to develop. WR KEVIN NORWOOD - i love the size and the flexibility he bring to a team. slot or wide he knows how to work the field. possible developmental as a #2 CB AARON COLVIN - gotta go with an injury flyer on him in my book. first round skill set. go into the season with Robinson returning and keep your fingers crossed. K CHRIS BOSWELL - this was a hard pick to make but he hammered home his pro day, hitting everything. of all the K out there i keep coming back to him C RUSSELL BODINE - he is an OG in my book that can play OC. the saints would go into the season with litto and bodine as backups. who knows in two years we may have a starter in the group or quality back ups battling it out. either way it looks to be a win win to me. |

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
Ok, gave it a go again on Fanspeak.com. The only knock i have on these mocks, they can be far-fetched, but im Very satisfied with these drafts. very unrealistic, but as always, we can dream big lol.
Performed two mocks, with what the board gave me based on a mix of need and BPA. Both mocks presented a scenario where i could take a top QB in the 4th that sean would love & groom behind drew. i acknowledge that most of these selections are HIGHLY unlikely but would be celebrated greatly on our ends. First mock: 27 ILB C.J. MOSLEY - ALABAMA (Dream scenario like the rest of the selections... CJ falls to us and becomes our kuechly/Kiko. Fills an area of need i believe is way more important than OLB. Lofton & hawthorne is not something im thrilled about.) 58 WR ALLEN ROBINSON - PENN STATE (great value & pick grabbing a 1st round talent late in the 2nd to become a big time player & star in our offense for years to come. One of my Favorite players in the draft) 91 WR CODY LATIMER - INDIANA (what can i say? Ditto that of A-Rob. We Add another 6'3 WR with huge upside & star potential. Pairing him & A-Rob on the outside and kenny in the slot would be huge) 126 QB AARON MURRAY - GEORGIA (If Murray or any top QB falls this far theres no way i see Sean passing up a new toy. Adding Murray to develop with the wr selections is a no brainer as well.) 167 CB WALT AIKENS - LIBERTY (Solid pick in the 5th to learn behind keenan and champ... The fact that he doesnt need to step in right away makes this pick all the better) 169 C BRYAN STORK - FLORIDA STATE (Get a center to battle it out with lelito and any other FA we bring in) 202 OLB HOWARD JONES - SHEPHERD ("Could" maybe go undrafted and be a priority FA, being from Shepherd, but why let that happen when we can get value late in the 6th. Kind of like a Rufus Johnson type scenario, but more talented imo) 2nd Mock Draft: 1st. Darqueze Dennard - Michigan St. (If he falls, easy choice. Physical press corner with good 4.5 speed) 2nd. Allen Robinson - Penn St. (Ditto to mock 1) 3rd. Christian Jones - Florida St. (Would love to grab jones here, but dont see him falling out of the 2nd. My #2 ranked mlb..easy choice) 4th. AJ Mccarron - Alabama (Ditto that of Murray in mock 1) 5th A. Devonta Freeman - Florida St. (Not necessarily a sproles replacement but can do everything he did but with more power. Cadet is not the answer imo, not a fan) 5th B. Russell Bodine - North Carolina (Great value in the 5th to shore up depth at center & potentially win the job & perform at a high level. Saints are no strangers to landing studs late as we all know. Could be a career backup but theres upside there) 6th. L'damian Washington - Mizzou (Saints obviously showed interest visiting with him. at 6'4 with some speed too much talent to pass up if he falls to the 6th. Could afford to add weight though.) Like i said, highly unrealistic... But fun. Haha can you imagine the shock... |
