We don't want a box of rocks.

I would rather have Cunningham than Reddick and Cunningham want go at 11?

Re: Mel Kiper Mock Draft 3.0

Riddick started before the combine as a to 3-4 rd pick. No way ANY PLAYER should move up that far based on "tryouts". Play on the field should count for something. I will be pussed if he goes with either pick in rd 1.

I wouldn't read much into "mock" reports. Mel Kiper flip flops quite a bit prior to draft day. His 1.0 Mock draft has us selecting RF (I can agree with this pick).

Saints select Reuben Foster in Mel Kiper's '2017 Mock Draft 1.0'

Re: Mel Kiper Mock Draft 3.0

Foster.... I hope we don't pass on this dude if he is still on the board... Reddick has a great story and a hard working I wouldn't be mad about the pick but if foster is my #1 lb....

As a Bama fan, their players living up to their college play hasn't been happening. They ALL look better as a team than their individual talent is it seems.

Its because of Nick Satan. If he was still in Baton Rouge LSU would have 5 more rings.

It happens... its about your body or work and 'tryouts'. Inteviews, medical screenings... its everything. Not just one thing. He has impressed many people since the process began. Its about picking what you project... players go under the radar all the time and turn out to be Pro Bowlers. Its trying to find those players better than anyone else.

Right now everyone has him as a first rounder...

And he was always in consideration for being the best LB aside from Foster in the Draft.

Same thing happened with Sheldon Rankins though. I admittedly had barely even heard of the guy until Senior Bowl practices and he sky rocketed.

See both of these picks are all about upside so its all about a gamble. rSo is incredibly young and of all the CB in the draft I rate him as the #1 upside gamble.

Tre' White on the other hand is a senior and he has polished coverage skill. But for a senior and like most LSU players he plays soft. That is a mental approach to the game that I can not stand. It limits his upside. so he probably is just what he is with little upside left.

Humphrey is two years will be as good or better? freaking upside hyped picks.

rather gamble on O.J. Howard and T.J. Watt

Haason Reddick is a heck of gamble. position changes and all but I like the way he plays but at 11?
