OJ is no sure thing. One season and he was never gonna learn the full route tree nor have prolific numbers in a Nick Saban offense...

With Bama players it's definitely a 50-50 boom or bust...

Look at last year's draft, we were talking about two D-linemen going in the Top 15 and they were lucky they got picked by the end of the second round...

Nick's got a proven system for Nick and Bama's success, not necessarily developing NFL prospects, Bama's NFL prospects were NFL prospects before they stepped foot on campus...

IDK JP,

Over the last few years, I've seen quite a few Bama players make an impact at the elite level. Specifically on defense.

I think that's what he was saying. All or nothing. For every one that makes elite impact there is one that was supposed to make that sort of impact but fizzled out. No way to tell until they are under fire in the league.

I totally disagree about OJ not being a sure thing with the type of O Payton has set up. He becomes an immediate red zone threat and can due it all, block, catch , runs good routes, has speed and has size. Perfect compliment for the O if you ask me.Fleener and his contract could be history next season with this pick at #11 and the O becomes a quick strike O again and in the 3rd go after Mixon and it's a O that is feared again. I also would take the Ole Miss qb. in the 5th to groom.

OJ accepted every off season invite despite being a top 20 pick and did one thing. Answered every possible doubter out there about his abilities. He has gone from an excellent TE with questionable upside receiving skill due to coming out of Bama to probably the best receiver in the draft.

I do not know what more he could have done.

Reuben Foster may need second surgery on shoulder. If reports are accurate, he'll drop down considerably in the upcoming draft.

Oh man... This is the first I've seen of this. Foster was my #1 dream pick but this might be just a little too much.

I think ive found maybebthe worst mock draft ive seen.

Step forward PFF

11. New Orleans Saints
Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU

White bounced back from a subpar 2014 season to post the top overall grade among cornerbacks at 90.5. He broke up 12 passes, good for third in the nation, while showing the skills to cover both on the outside or in the slot. The Saints simply have to add talent to their defense, and White is a strong, versatile option

Leaving Adams and Solomon Thomas on the table

32. New Orleans Saints (from New England Patriots)
David Njoku, TE, Miami

The Saints add another weapon for QB Drew Brees as Njoku brings wide receiver-like skills to tight end. He averaged 11.2 yards after the catch per reception last season while ranking third in the draft class with 200 yards on deep (20-plus yards) receptions.

42. New Orleans Saints
Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State

The Saints double-dip at the cornerback position, this time adding Conley, who brings good size and movement skills. He can play press or off coverage, allowing a nation-low passer rating of 13.6 into his coverage, and while there was certainly some luck involved in that number, he adds another playmaker on the back end of a revamped New Orleans defense.

76. New Orleans Saints
Curtis Samuel, RB/WR, Ohio State

Samuel needs an offense that will take advantage of his skills as both a runner and as a receiver, and what better place than New Orleans? He’ll play in the slot where he can run smooth routes at the short an intermediate level while keeping defenses off balance just enough with some work out of the backfield, much like he did at Ohio State.

103. New Orleans Saints (compensatory pick)
Taywan Taylor, WR, Western Kentucky

More weapons for QB Drew Brees, this time in the form of Taylor, who brings solid outside route-running that helped him rank third in the draft class with 3.92 yards per route run in 2016.

See, knew something wasn't right about that scene at the hospital...

I'm in the oil patch and with friends who own and run a drug testing facility; we see guys throw a scene at the last minute prior to testing - to avoid the test...

This is why I've been saying there needs to be a longer look at the medicals...

I'll be the first to tell you we don't know what really happened in Indy, but the fact those medicals were still needed and not done is why I've pulled back on Foster...

And if you've been on this site for a few years, you know I bang the drum every year for linebackers like Foster...

Foster should be a man-crush for me, but my instincts told me closer scrutiny was warranted with regards to this shoulder injury...

Plus, Foster has a real shady agent; well, REAL shady for an agent; and he seems to be panicking with his twitter account instead of playing it cool...

I know one thing, while I'm from Louisiana and I'll pull for State, I don't feel we have to have LSU players on the Saints...

But we've reached our quota of Buckeyes as far as I'm concerned...

And Gareon Conley is likely to go before Tre White...And WTF is the Defensive End reinforcements?
