CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

11. New Orleans Saints
Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama: Given that the Saints finished last in the NFL against the pass in 2016, adding one of the talented cornerbacks from this year's class would seem like a shoo-in selection. Instead, look for the Saints to go bigger. With remarkable closing speed and the physicality to intimidate, Foster could offer immediate impact ability against both the pass and run.

I wouldn't hate it. Foster or Anderson, either one would be a good pick I think. Or if by some miracle Barnett falls to us.

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

I wouldn't hate it either but I would prefer Peppers if he's there at #11.

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

He won't be, but why? We already have some pretty decent safeties and Peppers would have to do some majorly illegal stuff to bulk up to linebacker size. Don't you really think we need help more with pass rush and run defense? Peppers seems like a Randle El type, more of a trick player rather than a legitimate heavy. We're gonna need a bigger player...

Not trying to piss you off, just looking for an interesting discussion.

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

Agreed. Except I think Peppers will be there at 11 and beyond. He doesn't have a true position, no one's sure of where to put him. It was the same deal with Shaq Thompson a couple years ago. People raved and said he was sure to go top 10. He ended up at the bottom of the first and I don't think he was worth a first at all. He's an ok player today, not a game changer.

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

I still find it hard to believe in such a weak overall class of ILB that he will be on the board.

If he is there is no way he is not in the running to be the pick

I believe a seasoned vet maybe a better way to go when running a 43.

But I could accept the learning curve and accept the pick. A pick I would completely understand. fills need with talent.

My number #1 LB for the saints is

Ryan Anderson SLB Alabama 6021 253 4.67 #22 rJr

It would get us out of that freaking 3 safety set.

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

He's able to take on TE and rb.'s out of the backfield easily. I don't think for a minute he can handle a true #1 WR but a #2 ,3, and 4 he could hang with. He's just a vesitile DB. I think he can take alot of pressure off of the lb.'ers if Allen runs the 3 S set and has the speed in base sets and blitzes I'm not saying your wrong because the pass rush was better this season but I feel it needs to improve thats why I would like another NT it's not there yet. I actually thought the 1st 3 rounds of my mock were going to be easy this year but the NT from Washington decided to go back to school. Right now until FA is addressed everything is flexable but looking at last season he would be my first choice. If we can get Carolinas backup MLB in FA Peppers would definitely still be my #1.

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

I'm not a big fan of the 3 S set either but Allen likes it. Leaves us exposed to getting gashed up the middle and the slant kills us. This is exactly the reasoning for another NT and Peppers I'm trying to conform to Allens D. You don't know how hard that is to say.

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

Who is the top NT in the draft this year?

Re: CBS 2017 Mock Draft
 

Does he love the 3 safety set or was it a necessity because we had no CB's?
