This season just keeps going from bad to worse. Now Bush and Cooks on the IR, I'm just hoping to stay "competitive" and healthy for the remainder of the season. With that said, here's looking forward to the draft

Fanspeak's On the Clock NFL Mock Draft Simulator

My 7 round draft results

Round 1: Vic Beasley - OLB - Clemson
- stud at a position of need, that's all

Round 2: Denzel Perrymen - ILB - Miami
- arguably the top ILB in this draft. Kid is good, plus he has a pedigree from Miami including Ray Lewis. Jon VIima, DJ Williams, Dan Morgan, Jon Beason, etc. AND ILB is another position of need

Round 3: Rashad Greene - WR - Florida State
- another solid WR, runs precise routes, has good hands. Maybe not be 6'4 like people want these days, but he can straight ball. Plus we've seen the decline of Colston and the end of Meachem. A trio of Cooks, Stills and Greene would be nice to have, plus a 6'6 Coleman if the light bulb turns on and he figures out how to catch the ball

Round 4: Kevin Johnson - CB - Wake Forrest
- smaller school for D1 big boys. Last two seasons has had 25 PBUs and 6 INTs. Read some nice things and figured in the 4th, he'd be a good pick and it's an area of need for us

Round 5: Tyrus Thompson - OT - Oklahoma
- we NEED depth at OT, as we've seen behind Strief is a revolving door named Bryce Harris

Round 6: Miles Dieffenhach - OG - Penn State
- has an ACL tear and is out for the season, but prior to that was considered a possible 1st day, early 2nd day pick.

Round 7: David Cobb - RB - Minnesota
- currently the #8 ranked RB in college football in terms of rushing yards from scrimmage with 1350 and a 5.3 YPC average. Also has 11 TDs and there's still a couple games to play.

Really like David Cobb

Halo

The Saints should draft linebackers and defensive backs in every round. Oh I forgot, we need to replenish the o-line...Would be nice to have some of those bounty draft picks back that were stolen by gOdhELL!

I am sure this will be controversial, but if we are high enough in the draft I want Amari Cooper. Colston is probably gone after this season. It's the perfect opportunity to change the dynamic of this offense. I also wouldn't mind something as drastic as letting go of Evans and drafting a guard high. Again, this offense is as stale and predictable as it gets these days. We need to get some younger bodies on offense, pronto.

I'm not saying ignore the defense, but almost the exact same bunch of players was one of the top defenses in the league in 2013. We have a lot of talent there, it would be dumb to just start hacking away at it. Maybe add a pass rusher, an ILB with some speed and a depth corner. But the main issue is the chemistry and coaching on this side of the ball, IMO. Maybe you have to make the tough move and let Rob Ryan move on.

I wouldn't mind seeing all defense pick this year with maybe one o-lineman for depth and next year go big for offensive picks. I say next year(2016 draft) for the offense as both Evans and Grubbs contracts will be at a low point of dead money by then. Let Lelito cement the C job next year with a pair of veteran G next too him and then replace at least one of them with young blood so the line is not completely up in the air with new players.

Best Defense is a Good Offense...

We've got to get our O-Line Cock-Strong Young...

Just shoving the ball down the opponents throats at will...

Our Defense has been good at times but wears down because of the Time of Possession...

Balance is the Key to Victory...

Dont agree at all
The o-line needs changed but you only have to look at the best teams in the NFC(seahawks,Arizona and 49ers) all have good defenses

Wouldn't mind spending our first two picks on two of

Randy Gregory (OLB)
In 2014, he has 37 tackles with six tackles for a loss, 5.5 sacks, one forced fumble, three passes broken up and one interception despite basically missing two games.

Shane Ray(OLD/DE)
Ray has 12 sacks, 45 tackles, 14 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles.

Vic Beasley OLB
In 2014, Beasley has eight sacks, 21 tackles, 12.5 tackles for a loss, one pass batted and one forced fumble

Denzel Perryman(ILB) 72 tackles, two forced fumbles, five tackles for a loss, four passes broken up, one interception and a sack.
Eric Kendricks(OLB/ILB)
In 2014, Kendricks has 114 tackles with six tackles for a loss, one forced fumble, one sack, two passes broken up, two interceptions and one sack

Benardrick McKinney(OLB/IB) 6'5 get in the passing lanes
n 2014, McKinney has 55 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, three passes broken up and a forced fumble

A.J Johnson(Round 3)
n 2014 with 96 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, an interception, two passes batted, one sack and two forced fumbles (one on kick coverage).
They would offer up some much needed speed and tackling in the LBs. Might put a stop to those long runs we too much off

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

Love that draft except for Perrymen, I've watched him a lot and he never stands out to me.

Vic Beasley in the first I'll be jumping for joy. I also really like Shane Ray and Leonard Floyd.

I agree about getting a pair of lb.'s in the draft but we need a stud 3-4 NT to get pressure to make things work, we don't have 1. Pick#1 needs to be a NT.
