Walter Football NFL Draft Rumors

What is interesting is that of the top half teams listed on this page, the Saints have only three rumors listed...less than half of any other team...

...talk about playing it close to the vest...

Noah Spence or Big Boy Billings @ #12.

I don't get all the kettle clanging for Noah Spence or any edge rusher...

We just drafted Kikaha and Tull last season; plus you've got Edebali left on the bench...

Give 'em a chance or trade 'em for something that fits Dennis Allen's (Gregg Williams) stale 4-3 front...

Was hoping we might finally see a 3-4 front when Payton mentioned Kikaha & Co. focused more rushing from the edge...

I highly doubt the Saints FO will draft either player, however I just want to throw those two names out there to stir the pot on a Monday morning .

But at the end of the day, I want a D lineman in the trenches and/or pass rusher (see Carolina).

If no one falls into our laps at 12
1 Laremy Tunsil
2 Jalen Ramsey
3 Joey Bosa
4 Jared Goff
5 DeForest Buckner
6 Carson Wentz
7 Ezekiel Elliott
8 Ronnie Stanley
9 Shaq Lawson
10 Laquon Treadwell

Sorry JP Treadwell going to the giants makes a ton of sense to me.

Reaching for a player to fill a need makes makes no sense to me at 12. Even a DT. Not in this draft. Not if you can additional picks. Which in this draft would be huge IMO.

Key is not to drop below 17. Atlanta Falcons, unless some one is really ready to over pay.

At 16 the saints can fill the areas of need with good players still on the board, ie DT and WR.

So ... who are your selections at DT and/or WR in this scenario?

[Seer1]

Rumor is that the Titans are trying to trade back up from 15...

JP -

If you get a chance, check out Jeremiah & Bucky Brooks (Stock Up, Stock Down) Podcast from 4/13. J is claiming that Tread could actually be a day two selection based on his talks with various NFL team scouts/staff .

I thought that was interesting.
