Re: 2015 draft??
 

Regarding the offensive line...

First, would be before free agency getting resolution on contracts for Galette, Brees, Colston, Evans, Grubbs, Hawthorne...


Second, in free agency, sign two of these three and you've immediately got one of the best and youngest lines in the NFL...

G Clint Boling, Cincinnati (Georgia); 6' 5", 311 lbs., age 25

C/G Stefen Wisniewski, Oakland (Penn State); 6' 3", 307 lbs, age 25

C Rodney Hudson, Kansas City (Florida State); 6' 2", 299 lbs., age 25


Third, now you can draft development projects with later round picks, using your premium picks on defense where you'd see your greatest impact...

Fanspeak's On the Clock Mock Draft Simulator

No. 013 (R1, 13) NT Jordan Phillips, Oklahoma; 6' 6", 334 lbs.

No. 044 (R2, 12) LB Denzel Perryman, Miami (Florida); 5' 11", 245 lbs.

No. 075 (R3, 11) LB Stephone Anthony, Clemson; 6' 3", 245 lbs.

No. 109 (R4, 13) CB Ladarius Gunter, Miami (Florida); 6’ 1”, 200 lbs.

No. 140 (R5, 12) RB Javorius Allen, So Cal; 6' 1", 220 lbs.

No. 171 (R6, 11) OL Ben Beckwith, Miss State; 6' 4", 317 lbs.

No. 205 (R7, 13) LB Davis Tull, Tennessee-Chattanooga; 6’ 3”, 245 lbs.

With this draft simulation, was able to get the middle of the field tightened up...

Found another great CB candidate to develop without using a high pick...

Allen is a great fit to what the Saints do in the backfield...

Beckwith adds to Lelito to give us a great young interior line corps to develop; invaluable depth...

Wouldn't it be great to find Tull with a seventh....

Re: 2015 draft??
 

There's a guy coming up in the ranks from a very small school.His name is Ali Marpet. Idk if y'all heard or read about him,but he's worth taking a look at. Scouts are starting to take notice to him. He played OT,but projects as an interior lineman in the pros. He held up very well in the senior bowl against Danny Shelton and other big school D linemen. He also projects to fit well with ZBS. Let me know what y'all think.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Not bad, but its hard for me to get on board for Phillips at #13.
Injuries are a concern but my biggest issue is he's a flash player. Makes the one highlight play then disappears. Goes on a stretch without getting much production and stays blocked. Although i am intrigued by his potential & size. Rather wait & see if we can land him in the 2nd, i Doubt it but id feel more comfortable that route. Same with Arik Armstead at DE

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I wouldnt be mad at all drafting Perryman & Dawson round 1&2. Would be early but I'd rather get guys that are football players & could make immediate impacts on our team & revamp the LB unit. Im just hoping we at least land one solid LB in round 1 or 2.
