Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Davante in the fourth is not at all realistic...he wont fall out of the 2nd. But thats ok...these things are pretty far-fetched, just like mine and most others.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

27 OT ZACK MARTIN NOTRE DAME
Ok the gods smile on the saints and most QBs fall. Drew gets a player that can start at any position on the OL from day one. Why wouldn't he be giddy?

58 S DEONE BUCANNON WASHINGTON STATE
I honestly do think he will be here. he is my #1 safety still and top 5 DB in the draft. if he is he is hands down the best secondary player left in the draft. thats all i can say. steal. I could live with the pick in the first.
*see notation below*

91 RB CHARLES SIMS WVU 6006 215 4.48
Here is the safety net if Ingram fails to live up to his end of the bargain. I still say he is among the elite backs that will have a major impact in the NFL. Runs inside and outside. Probably the best back receiving and picking up the blitz. He has saints rB written all over him. he is PT replacement and will step up if or when Ingram is done. he is a bit taller than PT and a bit faster (4.62) but both are the same style of runner.


126 WR KEVIN NORWOOD ALABAMA
Drew gets a WR that is very comfortable working out of the slot as well as outside. A slot WR that is 6020? thats a huge change. works the middle of the field extremely well as well as side lines. Ignore the ranking here no expected him to run a sub 4.5. Versatile and knows how to go after the ball with a huge catch radius (32" arms). cone drill 6.68 shows he has great change of direction skills. Good hands and concentration I would not be surprised to go earlier but the depth this year might let us get a solid steal. 2nd or 3rd round in any other year.

167 C TYLER LARSEN UTAH STATE 6035 315
If he is there is the 5th i would take him in a heart beat. blue collar lunch pail toting wild man. he does nothing to blow you away but he is solid and non stop. He is the type of player that just does his job and does it well. never know he shocked a lot a people at the senior bowl and handled all challengers. Starting OC instead of Martin and Martin slide outside to ROT or OG down the road. Streif signed a contract that almost guarantees his retirement as a saint even as a swing backup.


169 CB DONTAE JOHNSON NORTH CAROLINA STATE
My favorite FS/CB in the draft. yep he has played them all. Nickle Slot CB FS and some strange hybrid LB scheme at NC state at one time. So he needs to be coached up. here is your big tall CB/S everyone wants 6021 200 and get this 4.45 in the 40. Thats if he is here. I think the saints would need to trade back into the four to get the kid . but there is a shot.

202 OT JUSTIN BRITT MISSOURI 6057 325
Odds are he will never be a starter but he can play every position on the OL and has the ability to be a long snapper. just a solid Joe that can work as a solid back up for many years in the NFL. but you never could tell he is the type that could surpise you. love that blue collar lunch pail toting mentality types in the trenches


I am not guessing at WR, but there might be a possibility that Landry might be there. If so that would be my second no brainier pick in this round. right now the boards are all over the place.

DT Daquan Jones Penn State is a solid option god knows the DT rotation could use some help. do not forget about Deandre Coleman later in the draft. round 5 would be an option.

I think if some of the hype holds true DE will drop in the drop. could a Trent Murphy be on the board?

So rounds one and two are kinda of a dream and if the saints moved up to get Martin ahead of the dolphins i could fully understand the move. he opens up the draft even more than it is now.

i am pretty set on on the last 4 rounds. though DONTAE JOHNSON could be a stretch in all honesty. there in the fifth i doubt it. But Noorwood is my #1 WR target after day one and maybe two of the draft. he just may surprise people and go in third. that sub 4.5 was huge for him. people were wondering if he could go sub 4.6 much less sub 4.5.

here ya go i am going out on a limb and say Noorwood is a solid sleeper to go in the second round even.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

When you get into this area in the draft there is no DB or CB in the draft that can match his size speed and productivity.

if another safety goes down next year we are looking mighty thin. our Canadian signing i am not counting on. so if one of the remainders get banged up what then?

He has as much upside as anyone on the board in that area of the draft.

He is a FS that hits like SS. I look in that area of the draft and have a hard time seeing a safe pick.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

LMAO i am not ready to eat my crow sandwich just yet. but i did move it from the freezer to the refig. I still wish he had better hands but up at line in a players face i will admit he is something fun to watch. that is were i think he should stay. jumping all around making people mad. hybrid SS/LB rover type. put some one deep that has hands. hell a 4 safety set is cool with me in a dime set up with the right CB. put them all out there. lol

just let him run around like a mad man doing his thing.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

I went with the draft as players came up. Ignoring the obvious i could only dream they fall into our laps. So here is one i know some people will like. some times this thing does make laugh

27 ILB C.J. MOSLEY ALABAMA

58 OLB JEREMIAH ATTAOCHU GEORGIA TECH

91 ILB CHRISTIAN JONES FLORIDA STATE

126 RB JERICK MCKINNON GEORGIA SOUTHERN

167 C TYLER LARSEN UTAH STATE

169 DT DEANDRE COLEMAN CALIFORNIA

202 WR JEFF JANIS SAGINAW VALLEY

Ok i could live with being a thief in the draft. enough LB to retool with? Return specialist or ATHL. Solid developmental OC/OG. A big OL run stuffer to develop for the rotation Height and speed for a developmental WR

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Once again we are beating the drum for LB.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Lol those first 3 selections would be awesome. Being able to get jones in the 3rd would really make me want shazier in the 1st. But mosley would be great as well.

Can you imagine having a 3-4 LB core of:

OLB: Jeremiah Attaochu
ILB: Christian Jones
ILB: Ryan Shazier
OLB: Junior Gallete

Would be a very young, versatile/athletic/aggresive group.

Sorry lofton/hawthorne...one trick guys.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Now you know im the one guy that you know for sure would love A-Rob in the 1st. Im tellin you guys think keenan allen.

What scares me is several ppl, including Ian Rapoport, reported the Panthers are traveling for a last minute visit with him today. No smokescreen there...same scenario played out last year with us & kenny. wouldnt be mad at all to select him just to guarantee he doesnt land with a division rival. He's gonna be a playmaker.

Id rather go with desir/jean-baptiste in the 2nd/3rd or aaron colvin/walt aikens in place of dontae in the 4th & select dontae in the 5th...love his versatility to play CB or S. Cant hate that length he has either.

If we're talkin CB of course.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

what you did not like my all offense draft? had to throw a big DB in there some where to develop

AUSTIN and JIMMY in a dbl TE set? :p

Two tall sure handed WR

WR and RB that both run sub 4.4 and handle our return work also?

A center that excels at pass blocking and we can work on the run blocking as we go.

actual could you imagine Mel Kipper and the rest of the Draft guru trying to figure that draft out?

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Now if you cant trust Robinson...there should be no reason to trust moncrief/matthews/bryant No indication on robinson to get the label untrustworthy. All are solid guys with tremendous upside.

His main knocks are "explosiveness" & "elite speed" which is a load of garbage.

-Great size(6'3, 215)
-Solid speed/40(4.47 pro day, 4.57 combine)
-Executed a pro style offense under Bill O'Brien
-Shows he can execute the entire route tree
-Great, Strong hands
-Exceptional leaping ability(42" VJ)
-Locates ball & plucks at high point
-11' Broad Jump
-Deceptive acceleration/sharp cuts on breaks
-Physical & shows strength after the catch as a ball carrier and looks to gain those extra yards.(Demaryius Thomas like, especially on screens)
- possession & big play target
-Progressed each year despite injuries/new coach/new qb
-shows he's knowledgeable & easy task transitioning to nfl playbook.
-pro ready
-no off the field issues

Screams no.1 WR..

Weaknesses are all correctable/coachable issues

-tighten footwork on breaks at times
-sell patterns better
-elite speed

Just my analysis...SP will get star quality out of him, no doubt in my mind.

Geesh even ppl are knit pickin at moncrief for "elite speed" and "straight line speed" ...didnt he run like a 4.3 40? Ppl are always gonna find somethin to complain about & its sad. Moncrief, robinson, & matthews will all be solid pros. Bryants one year of production is a little concerning but thats expected being behind watkins/hopkins. But why couldnt he earn more reps? Thats something to watch...More of a over the top kind of guy, But i love him. But the three previously mentioned are more of a priority with me.

I understand tho jeanpierre we all have our guys, i respect that. & i would trust ryan shazier with rob ryan anyday. Our coaches get the best out of their guys...all the talent is there for shazier & definitely shows it on tape and workout. 4.39 40 is just ridiculous...jack of all trades at that. Can cover with the best, fill gaps/stuff run holes & rush the passer. Exactly what we have been screaming for all these years & what we need in a LB . I like these guys.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Lol no i did...wouldnt complain one bit if it actually happened that way. I likey. That double te set would be painful for lb's/S. Solid my man...

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington ? whats the issue here? I think he will bounce back to his 2013 form. a bit of gamble in the second but no worse of a gamble than any od the CB in that area of the draft. I do not condemn a person for 1 DWI.

If you want a safe pick it is Bucannon.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

with a bullet

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Hmmm...very intriguing. Not just length but speed & strength as well from what your post says!! I like the family man part as well. Niiice...i'll look into some tape now. Thanks bud!

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Lots of big name players falling in some of the online mocks now.

I know this wont happen,but i would be delighted if it did,trade down a couple of times obviously and end up with a load of 3/4/5 rounders.If the players fell as they did on here what a draft it would be


Round 2 Pick 8 (MINN): Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss

Round 3 Pick 8 (MINN): Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State

Round 3 Pick 20 (ARI): David Yankey, OG, Stanford

Round 3 Pick 27: Christian Jones, ILB, Florida State

Round 4 Pick 8 (MINN): Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson

Round 4 Pick 9 (BUF): Bryan Stork, C, Florida State

Round 4 Pick 20 (ARI): Russell Bodine, OG, North Carolina

Round 4 Pick 26: Brandon Thomas, OG, Clemson

Round 5 Pick 29: Howard Jones, OLB, Shepherd

Round 6 Pick 12 (STL): Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty

Round 6 Pick 26: Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma

Round 7 Pick 11 (STL): Cornelius Lucas, OT, Kansas State

Round 7 Pick 26 (STL): Wesley Johnson, OT, Vanderbilt


The Offensive line would be loaded with quality young backups and future starters both inside and possibly at tackle too.

The receivers would be completely reset.
Let Benjamin back up Colston and spot start for him this year and new number 1 option in Moncrief.

Redshirt Colvin and Thomas for a year and its like having a pair of 2-3rd rounders in addition to next years draft.



Ah well i can dream

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

27 S DEONE BUCANNON WASHINGTON STATE

Pairing Byrd and Deone together would give the saints two of the best ball hawking safeties in team history. Add in Kenny the head hunter and Wild man Bush and i do not not want to hear a thing about the safety position for the next couple of years

58 LB CHRISTIAN JONES FLORIDA STATE

I still say he is a steal even here. But sometimes you need to reach in order to make the rest of the draft to fall into place.

91 TE C.J. FIEDOROWICZ IOWA

Jimmy gets his wish. 10 mill next year as his TE duties are taken over by a true TE. Plus he can really catch as well as block. He can be groomed by Watson. who is a FA in 2016 and has a cap hit of 1.9 million and dead money of 400,000 in 2015. It gives you some cap flex down the road. Even so Watson and CJ in a dbl TE set with Jimmy flanked out in a single back set would be a nightmare. All three can catch. while two are excellent blockers

126 C TYLER LARSEN UTAH STATE

I just keep coming back to him as the best option after the top OC are off the board. He did extremely well at the senior bowl so small school competition bit was answered and he blew away the scouts knocks on him at the combine. There is a home for him in the NFL at OC or OG.

167 CB WALT AIKENS LIBERTY

Like Carlson there is something about the kid that makes me keep going back to him. solid numbers nothing flashy but his tapes and the way he stepped up at the senior bowl screams attitude.

169 RB DE'ANTHONY THOMAS OREGON

He tiny yes he is quick yes. now imagine trying to tackle the most dynamic kick returner in college in 2013. Plus SP will find a way to get him in this offense

202 OT JUSTIN BRITT MISSOURI

Every team need a swiss army knife on the OL. That is what this kid is. OT/OG/LS. Plus he looks to need some coaching up and you never know what he he might become.

I am done. yeah right

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Hagan, you forgot the kicker dammit!

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Last mock before tomorrow

27. BRANDIN COOKS - WR - OREGON STATE

58. MARCUS MARTIN - C - SOUTHERN CAL
- just seems more and more the Saints are leaning toward Martin

91. STANLEY JEAN-BAPTISTE - CB - NEBRASKA

126. CHRIS BORLAND - ILB - WISCONSIN
- surprised he was still available. Compared to Zack Thomas. DOesn't have the height measurables for most ILB but probably the smartest ILB in this years class

167. WALT AIKENS - CB - LIBERTY

169. DRI ARCHER - RB/KR - KENT STATE

202. LARRY WEBSTER - OLB/DE - BLOOMSBURG
- project player who looks the part of a 3-4 OLB (6'6, 256 lbs). Had the second fastest 40 time (4.58) at the combine among d-linemen. Played 4 years of basketball at Bloomsburg, setting the team record for blocks, and many think he could be an NFL TE. Only played one season of college football tallying 49 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks with two passes batted and one forced fumble in 12 games

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Jjasso007,
I hope you are wrong on this one (lol).

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Why? He'd be a great pick.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

My prediction, unless we trade up, every one of these players will be gone before we pick, except Webster.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Sorry, but i have to say it. If cooks was 6' he would easily be the best wr in this class, that includes watkins/evans. Height is his only knock...

Whats not to like? To each his own tho...

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Small hands and a bit undersized. At best I think he will be a good slot player but not much more. I would prefer we look for an O lineman in the 1st round.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

I'm not knocking the kid but I would prefer we look elsewhere with our 1st pick. Its cool to disagree, I was just making a counterpoint.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Re: Mock Draft Simulator
 

Small hands? The guy catches everything thrown his way. We aren't asking him to be able to palm a medicine ball.

And there's not gonna be an O-lineman worth drafting at 27. Maybe if we trade up or maybe in the 2nd.
