Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

What bothers me about Taco Charlton is he's only had one year of success at the position; know the scheme changed, but to see such a bump in one season, just a little uneasy...

And despite all the great moves off the edge, he still had limited production (sacks)...

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

Yeah that's what i've read but his size puts him over a few of the others that are closely matched in rankings. Alot of the rushers are 250lb and you could see them getting mauled often. If we were still 3-4 then they would probably come into play a bit more for me

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

I like a 1-2 punch. A big back to wear down a D opens up the play action and helps with the time of possession in games. I absolutely love a punisher running up the gut of a D slowly tearing them down, if LF could play a role like that I got no problems at all. Hell I like the back from Texas (talk about a bruiser)but whether we ever get a pure power back in a Payton run O I highly doubt but it would help Brees or life after Brees a little easier.

That's what Chris Ivory was for us, he would just punish anyone trying to stop him at all times. Unfortunately for him, Ingram was available and Ivory was constantly injured. The only thing that consistently stopped Ivory was his own hamstrings, Ingram has developed into a great core player which I think a lot of people overlook.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

As I've gone through my mocks, regardless of whom I've chosen, they're always seems to be multiple good players available. The Saints staff will have to try to screw this one up.

S Peppers
TE Njoku
LB McMillan
DE Kpassagnon
C/G Pocic
WR Golladay
CB Robinson

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

Sure, I'll take a stab at it. Why not?! Let me preface this by saying this is not necessarily who I want, but what I think we will do based on rumors, speculation and tendencies.

R1P11 EDGE TACO CHARLTON MICHIGAN

R1P32 S OBI MELIFONWU UCONN

R2P10 CB FABIAN MOREAU UCLA

R3P12 QB NATHAN PETERMAN PITTSBURGH

R3P39 EDGE TYUS BOWSER HOUSTON

R6P12 RB ELIJAH MCGUIRE UL LAFAYETTE

R7P11 G ISAAC ASIATA UTAH

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

One thing the simulator has taught me about this draft is how deep it really is and what can fall through for us at Pick No. 11...

If I were the Saints, I'd be ready with several scenarios to trade back and pick up more picks...

Here's my thoughts on the Top 10...

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

Okay, I'm of the opinion that if Reuben Foster is off the board when we pick at No. 11, and even if he is, I've got concerns about that shoulder that needs to be re-evaluated pre-draft by our own people, then we should trade back as I really like several players in the second round...

20: R1P20
EDGE TACO CHARLTON
MICHIGAN

32: R1P32
CB FABIAN MOREAU
UCLA

42: R2P10
TE ADAM SHAHEEN
ASHLAND

51: R2P19
S JOSH JONES
NC STATE

76: R3P12
DL EDDIE VANDERDOES
UCLA

103: R3P39
RB MARLON MACK
SOUTH FLORIDA

196: R6P12
LB JORDAN EVANS
OKLAHOMA

229: R7P11
G COREY LEVIN
CHATTANOOGA

TRADES
TRADE PARTNER:
DENVER BRONCOS
SENT:
ROUND: 1 PICK: 11
RECEIVED:
ROUND: 1 PICK: 20
ROUND: 2 PICK: 19

Note: I ignored Lattimore in the first round as I don't believe he'd be there when we pick at No. 11; if he did fall, that'd be a different tale...
