I think he would have been the oick had the Saints got Shelton last year like they wanted (well according to reports anyway)

[lee909]

Just seen two mocks for today
Both S.I and Bleacher Report have Cody Whitehair to the Saints.

Looks like it could be a good fit at Guard. Like him or maybe Thomas (is that his name big WR) or another DT/NT/DE

well we will see in four years. fifth is an option.

classic redraft is in 5 years anyways.

Just because an NFL team passes on a player and they fall out of a round does not mean the NFL is right. in a good draft the NFL gets it right 50% of the time and even that is extremely rare. couple of times tops. so it is safe to say 16 of those picks were not the right players. I am betting a .333 draft for the NFL brain trusts this year

When I look at this draft, I look from when we picked and when Treadwell was taken and only two teams looked like they knew what they were doing (Colts and Vikings)

Saints (12) Sheldon Rankins, Louisville Sedrick Ellis 2.0

Dolphins (13) Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss So you fire a GM, run off Incognito over questionable character for Tanked Boy?

Raiders (14) Karl Joseph, West Virginia Actually a really good pick, but could have added Treadwell opposite Amari Cooper, ouch...

Browns (15) Corey Coleman, Baylor Traded back, back and this is what you opened with?

Lions (16) OT Taylor Decker, Ohio State A reach pick for a necessity to protect your QB, but now who's your QB gonna throw to with no CJ?

Falcons (17) Keanu Neal, Florida Give Quinn credit for following a blue print and sticking to it, but he reached as Neal even with him off the board at the top of the second round...

Colts (18) Ryan Kelly, Alabama Great Selection, Luck is still recovering from his injuries from the beating he took last season, they should draft all offensive line and worry about winning football games next draft...

Bills (19) DE Shaq Lawson, Clemson Didn't like Lawson after the drama behind his injury prior to the Bama game; he only started one year once the other kids left and then they announce to the league he'll have sholder surgery after his rookie season?!? Ryans continue to shoot themselves in the foot...

Jets (20) OLB Darron Lee, Ohio State He may turn out to be the next Thomas Davis; yeah, okay...

Texans (21) Will Fuller, Notre Dame I can hear my cousins over in Houston now - but JP, he looked so good in college playing Navy...

Redskins (22) WR Josh Doctson, TCU He'll probably have his best games for the Redskins ( yes, I said Redskins; Redskins; got Cherokee and, surprise, I'm not f**king offended); as saying, best games probably against the Saints, but never a week in, week out performer...

Vikings (23) WR Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss He'll make Bridgewater look better than what he is and make us regret not taking him; but do you really see better before him on this list? Sorry, just don't see it...

[hagan714]

with some surprise picks in the secondary I am looking for the trend to continue.

[CheramieIII]

I give us an A- for the first round but now rounds 2 and 3 will be even better. We need starting DE or Safety. OG, OT and WR coming tomorrow boys and girls.
