Yes sir. I like Floyd as well. He picked up a few pounds but there is no loss of speed. Put him @ the WILL spot & edge rush in a nickle package. One Mississippi...two Mississippi... 3!

Spence is the one defender I don't want in the first

RC -

If you watched the defense closely last season, it was pretty obvious we need another pass rusher badly. If I were a gambling man, I'd say we have a plan for Spence. A 3 Tech is a HUGE needs down in New Orleans (see article below).

Sean Payton lists Saints

Your guess is good as mine on the draft order for the Saints, however if you think about all the time, effort they have spent with him he could very well be one of our top two picks. Just for a moment, ignore all of the off the field issues he has and focus on his play. The guy is a serious edge rusher & has shown on tape that he can get to the QB fast (3 Mississippi) and arrive with bad intentions.

Que sera sera.

Spence, Floyd, Lee - we have this player already, even better, with a year of NFL experience...


Saints OLB Hau'oli Kikaha...

I'm a fan of Kikaha but I don't think he can hold up as an every down run defender. Teams are going to run right at him, likely with a good amount of success.

Eagles are rumored to have a deal in place with the Browns to trade up to #2 and the Chargers are actively shopping the #3 pick as well. I think we're gonna see lots of moves in the 1st round... Including us because our options at 12 absolutely suck.

Would not surprise me one bit. Add the possibility of Tenn trading back up also. I think if Stanley is within reach they will go after him. He fits what Tenn is doing. Both top LB with medical red flags opened up this Pandora's box imo.

I think we stand to be a power broker for the next tier of talent in the draft. I like where we are sitting.

Given how the draft went last year I'm going to take a stab at who I think Ireland picked out. Last year Ireland picked players from Stanford, Clemson, Washington, FSU in the first three rounds. Given the concussion issues, it should come as no surprise Swann played for Georgia a school that really hasn't had many defensive players recently translate to NFL.

1.Either Lawson, Robinson, or Jack is the pick. Jack is at the top here, and Robinson and Lawson is a pickem.

2.If he's available and saints go Lawson or Jack round 1 I believe this Clark will be the pick. Possibly the first two picks could be from the same school. Odds are though that won't happen with Ireland. Otherwise if it is Robinson, I think it is Bullard from Florida. Possibly he could be paired with Jack. And Bullard is supposedly DT capable, and we do like hybrids.

3.If we don't go Jack in first this is where I could see it being Smith. Otherwise it's Washington from OSU. I could see the saints getting perhaps a second DT here if Bullard is not taken.

4.This is where guard comes into play. However it may be a OT. I believe BPA will be Kyle Murphy from Stanford if he falls to us. Otherwise I think it's McGovern. The other ones to be on lookout for is John Theus of Georgia and Avery Young of Auburn.

5.This will be a reach DJ Reader of Clemson.

6.Do we draft a receiver here? My first guess is CB, and it will be Brandon Williams from Texas A&M. If we get a receiver, it will be Ricardo Louis of Auburn as he fits the profile of a tall, physical receiver and he played for Auburn.

I am not for all of these players btw.
