Re: Defense reigns as Advocate writers take over Saints' war room for final mock draft simulation

I actually like this mock draft. Marshon Lattimore would be a gift he fell to us at pick 11. He's a 6'0" corner who excels at man coverage and ran a 4.36. I never even considered he'd be there even with the hamstring issues. It's similar to Jamal Adams. I don't think they'll be available to us, so I haven't accounted for them. What I would love most about this draft is adding both Lattimore and Sidney Jones. I don't think you'd have to worry about that position for 10 years. Before the injury, I wanted Sidney Jones at 11...even over Reuben Foster. That kid is special. With the addition of Adrian Peterson to go along with Mark Ingram, I like the Curtis Samuel selection a well. No need to elaborate there. We know the role he'd be able to fill. I don't mind Zach Cunningham as a 2nd rounder if he were to fall to us. He has a high motor and he flies to the ball. He needs to get a little stronger and sure up that tackling a tad, but he's always around the ball. That's something I don't see from our defense. Athletes flying to the ball. I'm not big on Harris, but maybe there will be a better prospect there at 32 we could take like T.J. Watt or Takkarist McKinley. Based on the draft scenario of the article Derek Barnett is there. If that's the case then I'd go:

Pick 11: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
Pick 32: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
Pick 42: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt
Pick 76: Curtis Samuel, RB/WR, Ohio State
Pick 103: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington

The 32nd pick would be the only thing I'd change up if that's how the board was shaping up. The Sidney Jones selection would be such a steal. I'm telling you. Not to mention, we just addressed every level of the defense with the first 3 picks. I'd be smiling from ear to ear after seeing these five players added to the Saints roster. Everybody is doubting us. We'll shock the world.
