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.

Colvin has the skills, even if he rehabs in full, is he more of a zone cornerback or can he play man-to-man with the larger receivers in the NFL?!?

Press coverage all the way. a bit overly aggressive and loves to feel up the WR so he needs to learn not to be so touchie feelie. This killed him this year and dropped his stock. he was a 1/2 guy to start the season then a 2/3 by the end. teams attacked trying to get a flag more than trying to get a completion. he got his fair share thrown at him. that is all coaching in book. in the old days that was not a foul.

Run support is a strong suit also. if the medical and doctors work check out he would be a steal.

Re: Mock Draft Simulator

Well Schoop & Co. finally added OLB Howard Jones to the FanSpeak dBase a few weeks ago...

Now to get Middle Tennessee State Offensive Guard Josh Walker added...

Saints could have him graded as a fifth round selection...

every year our buddy FootballCEO comes up with some small school players that sparks our interest. lucky for him they are the types that are 2 to 3 years of developmental players. so we listen lol.

i like the his play in the middle and the ability to drop into coverage.

but like i have said (gulp) Roy Boy always seems to build a solid LB corp every where he goes. so it will be interesting to watch.

he got some good players to work out as UDFA last year so lets see if the draft yields anything

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.

I was banging the drum for Ogletree; was pretty much "meh" on Vacarro...Glad to say he's been a surprise...

What sold me on Vacarro was his pass breakups on some deep routes - something I can't recall seeing Harper or Jenkins do without Mr. Hankie making an appearance...

So while I think Ogletree would've been outstanding for us, I'm more than glad to have KV counted among the black and gold...

But there's Attaochu and he'd be our Ahmad Brooks, probably better, and we've got to take the front seven to elite status with Attaochu and at least one younger, faster, stronger, bigger Inside LineBacker...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
