spice for me if medicals check out is Jaylon Smith. Been a long time since a true 43 WLB has come along that appears to be the total package. I can wait a year.

I do not see anyone else falling into our laps. Treadwell would have to run a 4.65. IMO he is just what the giants need to round out their WR corp. Chicago will probably steal the best DT on the board. The talent level for DT does not fall off the map in round one. after that I pray the saints trade back in all honesty.

DT later in round 1 would be my plan and I would ignore everything else. Unless Smith is there at 12 of course. Get picks! that helps a cap out more than anything else.

Smith is an extreamly good player and if we draft him in the 1st it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. Probably would put a smile on my face to be honest but NT needs to be addressed.

Smith and Jack will be there at 12. Injuries are dropping them. I would like Noah Spence or A'Shawn Robinson in rd 1. Vadal Alexander, Adolphus Washington or Vernon Butler in the 2nd. I believe all 5 of those players could start from day 1.

Blah, blah, blah, NT, OL, DL, LB, you guys don't know what you're talking' about. There's been one position, full of useless players that's cost us more games than any other. You know what it is: Roberto Aguayo in the first round and then we can all go home. (Except Danno who'll end up in the ER.)

Championship!!!

LOL...

Well, if we spent anything higher than a fifth rounder on a kicker not named Morten Andersen...

Saints Nation might explode...

We used our nine lives on a guy named Erxleben...

Hahaha! How does it feel to be the only guy on B&G that can spell that correctly?

Seriously, I wouldn't blink on spending our three on him. Got to be a better gamble than a number 2 pick on SJB...

See if he is available by the 3rd or 4th round, then snag him. With all of the rule changes on Xtra points, PAT's aren't exactly 'automatic'.

Time to find and develop a kicker. There is value & they can be weapons.

The major problem is it's McMahon developing him. We pretty much need a finished product out there doing the place kicking.

I know there are more pressing needs but I would love Kenneth Dixon in the 3rd. I know a lot of people would be mad with a RB that early but the kid is a stud. MIA would be pushed to preform or pushed out the door.

Doubt he'd be there; but the LaTech running back would be really great value there...

With so much invested in FA at running back though, limited cap space, and needs along the defensive line, safety, wide receiver, left guard, tight end...

...well, you get the idea...

Willie Beavers OT/OG W Michigan 6042 324 5.17
Hands 9 1/2 Arms 33 1/2 Wing 80 1/4
Bench 20
keeps popping up in my head as a solid OT/OG developmental guy. transition to a guard in year or two down the road. But the kid moves well in space and we all know the screen game is huge with us. At senior bowl the experiment with Beavers at right guard was not pretty but he has played only OT in college. Swing back up at OT while hitting the weight room and learning to play guard? He is not as much of project as Le'Raven Clark who still sparks an interest. freaking spread OL drive me nuts lol

Here is an odd one at the combine I have not looked at much.
Dominique Robertson OT/OG West Georgia 6046 324 5.29
Hands 10 5/8 arms 35 5/8 wing 86
Bench 30

30 reps with 36-inch arms dammmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn. In two years you might have something
He looked pretty good as a developmental prospect at the NFLPa bowl

continue to impress, some what
Joshua Garnett OT/OG Stanford 6041 317 5.38
Hand 9 7/8 Arm 33 3/8 Wing 79 3/8
Bench 30
Joe Dahl OG Washington St. 6041 299 5.29
Hand 8 3/4 Arm 32 3/4 Wing 79 1/2
Bench 28
Connor McGovern, OG, Missouri 6042 305 5.02
Hand 10 3/8 Arm 32 Wing 79 1/2
Bench 33

I leaning towards a draft with better prospect values on day 3 than on 1 and 2.
