Who is it ( Draft )
 

If theres one player you wouldn't leave the draft without who is it, and why......

The one player I wouldn't leave the draft without is Stanley Jean Baptiste... I don't think it would be a reach to take him at 27.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

That would be a massive reach imo.
At best 4th rated CB at the draft,if he is still there in the second then i would not mind drafting him.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

we will draft the best DE or DT with our first pick. I hope we can get the guy out of UCLA Barr can double as a DE and OLB

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Wont happen unless we trade up,Barr is going top 15 possibly 15-20 if he slips

Who is it ( Draft )
 

Who ever the #1 priority for the Falcons is.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

yes that would be very funny

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

I'd love for us to get Odell Beckham, that guy can be a game changer

I've got a feeling we might go DB though, corey white is too hot and cold, as soon as keenan lewis got injured in the playoffs, corey white nearly lost us the game single handedly

Ryan Shazier

Who is it ( Draft )
 

I read the first sentence of this thread and my first thought was Stanley Jean-Baptiste! I would not pick him in the first round but I would not be mad if we traded up in the 2nd round to get him... Maybe give up both of our 5th round picks and our 6th round pick.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

DraftScout has him the 11th best CB and a 3rd round grade.
NFLDC has him 9th best, also a 3rd round grade
Walter has him 9th best with a 3rd round grade

It would be an enormous reach at 27, and he would be a reach in the 2nd.

You of all people are taking someone like Walter's opinion as gospel?! Come on man. One second you think draft talk is all a waste of time and the next second you're quoting websites about how some CB would be a waste of a 2nd round pick.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

How in the hell did you read that I took Walters grade as gospel? Thats absurd.

C'mon man, thats a huge stretch, like taking Stanley Jean Baptiste at 27.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

You looked it up and referenced it here... Therefore you took it seriously. Otherwise why bother doing that research and posting what you did in some kind of effort to school the original poster.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

I listed THREE sites that have him as a 3rd. I never said any of those THREE sites I listed were gospel.

Are you truly that dense? Gospel? Really Chris? I don't know whether to laugh or feel embarrassed for you.

Is there a draft site somewhere that shows him going in the 1st round? I've yet to see one.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Danno mad!! Pre-draft talk is meaningless but let's post links to sites referencing a players supposed round he will be drafted in. I'm not dense buddy.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

When you ladies are finished comparing purses we can get back to Saints football.

Who is it ( Draft )
 

Ok... I agree. I'm sorry Danno. I had a rough day. I have a 9 week old baby and the one thing that people never told me is the strain a baby will put on your relationship. I guess I just took my frustration out on you and I apologize for that. As Saints fans we're all a family and what family doesn't fight sometimes?!

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Gabe Ikard - top Center that can also play guard.

Gonna need this sort of player to run up the middle.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Look at it this way, having and raising a child tempers a relationship more than it strains it.

It's very humbling to go to sleep Master of the Universe and wake up to a crying baby and feel helpless.

Take a pause when you feel things getting deep to remind your other half and your self that it's not about y'all anymore. The child needs you two to function like a good offensive line during a screen.

;)

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Is the baby Pierre Thomas in that example? Lol

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Words of wisdom buddy. Nothing will humble a man quite like having a baby LOL. Anyways, enough of that... Back to the topic at hand. I'm really intrigued by the ILB prospects in this draft. I even think some of the designated OLB's like Shazier and Van Noy would be fantastic ILB's if Loomis was interested in upgrading.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

The one guy I couldn't live without is that guy from over there. We were talking about him in another thread.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

We need a CB and I hope we use our first pick on a good one. Like D'squarius Green Jr or The Player Formally Known As Mouse Cop. Maybe even Jackmarius Tacktheritrix.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon just tore it up at his Pro Day yesterday. I heard Rob Ryan was there.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

I heard! But you know Tacktheritrix is better than Flaxon-Waxon man!

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Don't know this guy but a C/G is a great approach. We've Lelito moving to Center or, if he does not, as our backup to both Guards. So, we're thin.

Also increases flexibility, by definition. Plus, one would expect a C who can play G to be bigger and stronger. Hate seeing our C pushed back into Bree's step-up lane.

If we get a pure Center, then he should be a great one; otherwise, go for C/G.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

I was being a jerk. Thank you for the kind words though. Back to the topic though... If we don't draft either Christian Jones or Andrew Jackson as potential ILB's to replace our current guys then I'll be pi$$ed! I read that Rob Ryan was all over Jones at FSU's Pro Day... I love his versatility. Unfortunately he'll probably be drafted before our 2nd round pick. I'll add him to the list with Jean-Baptiste of guys that I wouldn't be mad if we traded up in the 2nd round to get.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

I love the thought of opposing secondaries having to match up with 3 humongous receivers, Graham, Colston, and Kelvin Benjamin.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

I love Walters it allows me to read and try to fit pieces to the puzzle. My pick at #1 to have is Hageman DT.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Man, picking only one is super tough. I'd love Darquez Dennard but that's not realistic, I think we could get McGill and that would be a damn good pick, but if Shazier is there and I don't believe he will be you can't pass him up. If he's not there and Attachou is there, again you have to make that pick. Also, if OBJ is there, that would be an awesome pick. This team needs playmakers, game changers so you've got to take one if you can get one. Still if we were to be able to get one of the above players in round 1 and still get Stanley Jean-Baptiste in the second, that would be an outstanding draft.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

that rating was based on his combine forty. pro day 4.45 he is back in 2/3 range. your talking possible huge upside with the kid

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

just one hmmmm dam tough question

Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn is the safest bet to be a pro bowler from day one.

No Ditka trades?

A Draft going wth happened but at least the took. Now the round taken makes a huge difference.

Charles Sims RB West Virgina in the fourth would make me happy. an under rated steal and instant impact from day one. he can be groomed by PT as his replacement when the time comes.

all the names mentioned so far are good ones.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

You and draftscouts, Nfldc, and walter's are absolutely right. He's not a first round selection, probably not a second. But you also know this is a dart throw at wall sized dart board and hoping to hit the target. I know the scouts sites say there is a perfect place to get him. I guess what I was trying to say is I don't care...... Just get him!!!!

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Jason Verrett. We NEED this guy in our secondary. NEED

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

Speculate all you want it will probably be BPA

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

In the spirit of one thing feeds off of another.. If our passing game feeds off of our ability to run the ball, then our screen game feeds off of our ability to run the ball up the middle.

C/G gaps are where that happens and if there is enough threat to L/R C running it opens up the outside and the screen.

For me personally our biggest issue on the OL last season was worrying about Brown, he didn't have a lot of horrible games but when he did it was bad... I am also not entirely sure he got a fair shot from the fans from the get go.

After that we were plagued with players having to play hurt on the Right side.. Both Evans and Streif were nicked up a few weeks. We lack depth on the Offensive Line, look at the offensive line depth chart now and the the start of last season. We have been way too shallow, right now we have no back ups (with experience) for C/LG/RG/LT. Go back to 10/1/2013 and lelito was everyones back up.
Ourlads' NFL Depth Chart Archive

As unattractive as the proposition sounds, I think we pick up at least 2 Offensive linemen in the draft. A C/G and a T/G or a C and a T/G.

I also think in a way our Screen game effects our short passing and running game but that is a different discussion. The threat of the Screen makes LBs stay home and that puts them right there in the short middle passing and running lanes.

Re: Who is it ( Draft )
 

I think you misunderstood the OP. it was who are you needing to leave the draft with, not who in what round. Picks 1-2 are generally BPA, after that we are looking for depth and diamonds in the rough.

We are short on both cap space and depth on the OL, we cant afford to not come out of the draft with a couple of OL.
