No. 11 (R1, 11) DE Taco Charlton, Michigan; Height: 6' 6"; Weight: 277 lbs.

He's got the measurables we need opposite Cam Jordan, and I'd like this pick more, if we were in the 20-25 range of round 1; in fact, I like this pick more than the media popular of UT Derek Barnett, who's hit his ceiling and doesn't have the length we need for our scheme; if Reuben Foster is gone, I'd definitely like the idea of moving back some to get a DE like this...

No. 32 (R1, 32) QB Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech; Height: 6' 2", Weight: 225 lbs.

Not sure we'll even have this selection if we acquire NE CB Malcolm in the Middle Butler. Don't like this selection, reminds me of Russell Wilson - overrated, nervous feet, can't make a read to save his life with the pressure on.

No. 42 (R2, 10) Fabian Moreau, UCLA; Height: 6’ 0”, Weight: 205 lbs.

I really like this pick and Moreau; but it'd be more likely he will be selected with the 32nd pick (if we kept it); this guy had a slow start to his Sr year with an injury; but he's physical and he can lock up under a receiver's chin and run with 'em all over the field...

No. 76 (R3, 12) DE Jordan Willis, Kansas St; Height: 6’ 3”, Weight: 260 lbs.

Another player I really love, who's really put on a helluva an audition this draft season; he's got just the right size to play the weak side DE; makes plays, forces turnovers, creates havoc and the Saints have a good history with K-State DEs (Darren Howard), but he'll be gone by the third round and like the previous pick, we'd need to take him with our second round pick...

No. 103 (R3, 39) TE Jake Butt, Michigan; Height: 6’ 5”, Weight: 245 lbs.

This seems a bit early for Butt's skill set; while I very much like the thinking of improving TE, Butt's a reach here and I'd rather get some depth at safety where plenty of options still should be here...

Round 6 (196) LB Jordan Evans, Oklahoma

If this would happen, it would be an absolute coup; I really believe he's going in the fourth/fifth round, but if he's there, this would be a real steal...

I would not be happiest camper to be honest. so this is a typical saints draft in my book.

OJ better be off the board at 11.

after that it is always a crap shoot.

He's still a 1st round pass rushing DE. Should we pass on a 1st round pass rusher because he's "slotted" to be picked a few picks later?

I just don't agree with that.

EVERY 1st round prospect has the talent to become all-world. IMO there's not much difference between an 11th or a 17th.

Im not as up to speed this year but out of the pass rushers likely there at 11 i like him. Its the weight as much as anything. I dont like 250lb DE. They get tun off the line too often.

Bolles is a swing OT that can swing at OG also. The only spot left on the OL in question is center. What more do you want out of a player you are grooming to take over for Zach?

Agreed. I like the kid but his hyped value is way to high to risk the pick on him. He is really RAW

Originally Posted by hagan714 (Post 741364)

The only reason I agree is the fact he has only one year of tape to go by but I think a 34 team will scope him up before pick 32. Look at those freaking combing numbers he put up. Those are comparable to Khalil Mac

One thing bugs me about Willis. He only played on the left side of the DL his entire college career. I believe we set on that side. Call it the Peat based fear.
