Re: 2015 draft??
 

Well, I'd love it if on draft day we packaged our 13th pick and Galette and move up to the 5th (WAS) or 6th (Jets) should Beasley be there, select VB and get a fourth in return...

Some mocks have VB falling as far as our 13th pick, however many currently have him going to ATL...

No matter what "severe' means to der Kommisar, he's not taking ATL nor CLE first round pick from them - so we can put that thought away...

They've got a good idea about the penalty and if it were a first rounder, somebody would've spilt the beans by now...

I'd reach and take Eli Harold as he's the next closest thing, probably will be just as good, his development is just a little behind VB...

It'd be nice to trade back with the Bengals and pick up an add'l pick, but here's the problem...

Several teams (i.e. PIT, AZ, IND) that'd could easily move up from those spots and eliminate what we need - an elite 3-4 OLB with top flight pass rushing ability...

Chances are, Payton will select DGB and envision having him across Cooks, with Colston in the slot in 3WR formations and pull the trigger...

He'll have confidence in the Drew and the Locker Room getting this kid right...

And for a few days, I'll curse our coach for not moving up to get VB or taking Eli at 13...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Really don't think we're moving back in the draft picking up picks as we've no room to sign that many players...

If anything, we're moving up, fewer players for the little cap room we've got...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

nothing wrong with trading back and getting picks for next year. take this rare moment of so many picks and spreading a few out to make this moment last a bit longer. i know not exactly the saints style.

i would rather them do that if we miss out on our targeted players than reach, hope and pray with that pick.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Eli Harold at 13? i will be livid to tell the truth. :furious: i have a hard enough time taking him at 31 but i could understand the PICK> LIKE SJB it would be a pick of need and show that the saints have absolutely no faith in the young OLB as a whole that we have now. my initial reaction would be that Ronald Powell is no where ready to helping out.

A desperation reach pick for need. we are not that bad off there to not pick a better prospect at 13 without all the hype attached them. Eli has a ton of it.

i will go back and look at him but i really can see it much less a new TV if they made the pick at 13

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Actually, many mocks have teams taking him between 15-25...

And then there is this...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

look i like the guy i just do not see it in his game. at 13 ? i just can not do it. 31 is a reach in my book that i could live with,

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I'd be not as upset if they took Harold at 31, if they did it at 13 then the remote is going through the TV

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I've found a decent corner who should be there in the 5th/6th/7th... Lorenzo Doss - Tulane

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I agree buddy. Lol sounds like Corey White all over again. Lets not draft on potential, we need guys who can step in day 1.

Im not by any means saying Brandon Browner is a franchise savior at CB, but i feel with the acquisition it gives us room to draft front 7 whether it be DT, Edge or ILB. I say pass on corner in round 1. Plenty of depth in the draft to get a guy later & sit under Keenan & Brandon, besides i still wanna see what Delvin Breaux & SJB can do. Sean was just praising both the other day...i do really hope that Sean & Mickey's thoughts on SJB are genuine/real. Rooting for SJB.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

SJB? i got my pomp pomps out for him. for him to actually get on the field would be a great sign. that and not look so lost he ends up at the concession stands

he could be the biggest impact player on defense if he is ready to step in and log some serious time in the secondary. he does not need to take over on the outside as a starter to accomplish this either

till he does i still have the secondary as a work in progress that is no where near completed,

Collins looks the part sure but he has not played enough IMO to really get a good feel for him and his ability mentally to play the position. if he is of interest i would throw a third round option at you that is prett much the same type of player with less on the field questions: Josh Shaw USC. then you got the bobbi prize player that just makes you shake your head in Justin Cox, talent and head aches

Lorenzo Doss - Tulane whats not to like really. but i fear he will not make into the 5th. just like Charles Gaines
