Mel Kiper Mock Draft 3.0

ChrisXVI · 03-22-2017, 09:45 AM

11.) New Orleans Saints - Haason Reddick, LB, Temple

No prospect has risen as much during the pre-draft process as Reddick has. He was fantastic at the Senior Bowl, and he was one of the MVPs of the combine, with a 4.52 40, 36.5-inch vertical and 11-foot-1 broad jump. Reddick's value is in his versatility -- he could play inside or outside in a 4-3 or 3-4, with his hand in the dirt or playing on his feet in space. The Saints have made an effort to improve their 31st-ranked defense in free agency, re-signing Nick Fairley and bringing in A.J. Klein, Manti Te'o and Alex Okafor, and Reddick (6-1, 237) would probably play outside in New Orleans' 4-3.

32.) New Orleans Saints (from Patriots) - Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama

The Saints are trying to pry away restricted free-agent corner Malcolm Butler from the Patriots, but until they do, the position is a weak spot on a defense that gave up the most passing yards per game (273.8) last season. Humphrey (6-0 197) has length, strength, speed and good bloodlines (his father is former NFL running back Bobby Humphrey). I had Haason Reddick going to the Saints with their other first-round pick, and I suspect they'd be happy with two defenders who could step in and play on Day 1.

I would not grumble with two day one starters picked up early.

Ugh, and overrated cb who showed to be above avg because of the qb pressure and a de that was off the radar until the combine. No thanks. No more projects or projected talents. We need a can't miss at 11 not a "chance Robbie great".

concern #1
No prospect has risen as much during the pre-draft process as Reddick

Marlon Humphrey at 32? I could live with no problem. Actually would say it was a steal.

Two picks with with everything banking on upside down the road. I can handle one but two? grrrrr

Hagan,
Where is Tre' White on your board? If he is there at #32, are you still leaning towards Humphrey? The way some of these highly projected corners are getting injured, I could see one or two rising in stock. Something tells me Tre could go top #20 if closes out with a solid LSU Pro day (April 5).

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?

Did u really just say LSU players are soft????? Take a guess who has the most players in the NFL. Its absured and ignorant to call LSU players soft just because u r a gump fan.

LMAO

I was only kidding about LSU players as a whole being soft. I am Tulane fan some times I can not help myself.

But when it comes to Tre' White he is soft in coverage.
