2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

I think I'm just about 100% on board with those picks JP. That would be as close to perfect as we could get.

I have heard some chatter lately (from Mike Triplett I think) about the Saints doing something completely out of the ordinary and looking to trade down. Tony Pauline also mentioned it a few weeks ago saying we had interest in moving down and taking Kamalei Correa later in the first.

been kicking Reed around a bit.

Man oh man the 4th and 5th rounds have some interesting prospects in them. laundry list in those rounds just keeps growing. solid potential like I have not seen in a long time that actual fill our team needs wish list.

I think RB is a need
Ingram cant get through a seaso healthy
The less said about the stupid money spent om the injury case that is Spiller the better. The other two back Hightower hasnt played 16 games in years and Ballard hasnt played 16 games since 2012. Thats alot of physio/hot tub time between them.

I believe the transition from Drew will have to be a RB not qb. Because we won't get a qb that will do what Drew has done, you better have a RB to carry the team. If Deuce had a defense in his era, saints are playoff teams.

Thing is Sean Payton is likely here beyond Drew so he will try to find the next big qb. But now now.

Would you guys be disappointed if we drafted Reggie Ragland in the first round? I saw him mention somewhere that the Saints were one of the teams who have shown the most interest in him. Seems like the kind of unexpected pick we'd make.

He's an ILB not sure if there's a need there.

And what's with the avatar?

Offensive tackle wasn't a need last year. We don't necessarily draft based on need.

There is no way we could have bad luck with all of the RB's this year. Ingram has never been a 25 carry a game guy. Give him 15, Spiller 5, Hightower 5 and Ballard a couple. The Backfield is fine. If we draft a QB it won't be in the 1st 3 rounds. DT/DE, CB and OG, Safety or DT
