The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

OK. last year was the Rob Ryan draft. This year I think Loomis and Payton focus on whatever Sean wants.

1. Odell Beckham Jr, WR, LSU
2. Marcus Martin, OC, USC
3. Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB, Nebraska (OK, he throws Ryan a bone)
4. Ryan Grant, WR, Tulane
5. Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia
5. De'Anthony Thomas, RB Oregon
6. Some unknown O-lineman from some school you never heard of.

I'm personally not a fan of the D'anthony Thomas pick, but I love the rest of that draft.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I've had my eye on that guy. A lotta potential.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I'm just happy for use to have all your draft picks for the first time in years.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I'm coming around to the thought of developing Aaron Murray. Idc for DeAnthony Thomas, but I wouldn't be upset with the pick. I don't trust USC players, but I'll take your word for it. Odell Beckham? Come on home bro.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I agree with on the USC players bro

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

Alot of our Mocks have Ryan Grant, seems like a natural fit right?

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I can't see us using a draft pick on a QB since Payton liked Griffin enough to keep him on the roster so he wouldn't be taken from our PS. But what I do like is the thought of having a true number one WR.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

For the record de'anthony Thomas is from Oregon not USC but I'd love him on the team. The next Darren Sproles

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I was talking about the center he has us taking in the 2nd. Not Thomas.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I'm cool with this draft. I'd still like see us trade back into the 3rd for a guy we really like. Ala Jon Jenkins. Maybe a solid OLB who's slipped like Telvin from FSU

On Aaron Murray; I live in Georgia so I've seen/heard a lot of this kid and I like him. More than McCarron, Mettendoucher or any of the other guys projected in front of him. Heck, he may go UDFA which I would love to pick up...

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I don't like the RB pick, and I don't like not taking a LB of some sort at some point. I also do not like the idea that we are definitely picking a QB this year, as some suggest. I think that there are probably a couple QBs that Payton and Loomis like and will keep an eye on them in case they drop a bit, as several QBs in recent memory have done, but I do not think that QB is or should be viewed as a need this year to the extent that we are dead set on coming away with one.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

If we're going wide first I'd prefer Jordan Matthews from vanderbilt

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I could live with it but it would not get me all excited about next year

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

Murray is the perfect developmental quarterback for our offense. He has a lot of Drew Bree's qualities.

I wouldn't be disappointed at all with that draft... though I'd still like to wait until the second or third day for a receiver. Going to keep bringing up Dozier and Turner's name as I feel both will be good players in this league. I want to draft Evans and/or Grubbs eventual replacement this year.

AKA hands of stone.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I like the Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia pick.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

I'm a big Matthews fan too. Is he projected as a 1st rounder though? I'd have no issue with us taking Beckham in the first and Matthews in the 2nd. Our defense was ranked 4th last year, and we're better then that now with the new additions and returning players. Our offense kept stalling out on us.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

Murray is good and all but I'd rather se another DL or LB there.

Re: The Sean Payton Mock Draft
 

Nah, 6. Cairo Santos, K, Tulane :D
