First pick would go with Peat. leave me asking what kind of offense are we running?
next 3 picks are way too risky and pretty much a big reach in my opinion. By a complete round. draft a 3rd in the 2nd? and so on.

but it does look like a saints draft

This not so bad.
Shaq is top 5 for safe gamble picks but with the Rams trade and the team now loaded with picks right behind us I can see more leap frogging up and down round 1 yet to come. Just hope we are in the mix and a trade down is possible and grab some additional picks.

Austin Johnson has always been a fav. he is the next Jarren Reed at DT his game speed and effort make the combine a mute point. Both are under valued, more upside as pass rushers than they are given credit for. Johnson has a clean rap sheet also unlike Reed who has had a few issues. He is as safe a pick in the 2nd as you can find.

Cody Whitehair in the 3rd? some one is really missing the boat. better yet standing at the dock a day late with this one

Joe Dahl is a player that if he drops into your lap in the 5th then make the move. He is not an over reach for player in my book. not bad but in the fourth they will be better options on the board.

Shaq Lawson hands down over this kid. His interviews have to be mind blowing for me to even consider him in the 3rd.

With less than 2 weeks until draft, it's no telling who the Saints will select at #12.

Eh, i dont totally agree with that statement. I definitely wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket for the Saints this year, so adding Jaylon Smith(personal favorite of mine) would not not be something we couldn't "afford" to do. Especially with what Ed Werder reported..."teams are unsure when he'll see the field, but they believe he'll have a long NFL career" i would NOT pass up the opportunity to get a franchise player like i see in Jaylon Smith if thats the case. Jaylon at WILL, Anthony at SAM & Laurinaitis at MIKE next year would be lovely. Thats just my opinion.

With that said, i'd love to trade back in the first, even out of the first round to gain additional picks in the 2nd & 3rd & a 1st next year. Thats really where the meat of the draft is. I dont consider talent at 12 to be that much greater than talent at the end of the 2nd/early 3rd.

Im thinking Chess not checkers. Saints still have holes & the schedule isn't going to be a cake walk.

The saints have a history of not drafting players with questionable medicals

If the Saints FO feel confident that Jaylon will make a full recovery, I'd say he is still on our draft board. He is that special.

This team is anemic on defense and unfortunately we aren't close to sniffing a championship this season. If he is still on the board by round 3 (highly unlikely he is still here), draft him.

I keep hearing that the draft is all about the future, no ?

Ronald Powell. He tore his ACL twice while at Florida, however we still drafted him.
