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. |

I agree with you Rez on Jones. He is basically Peters without the drama. A would of been top 15 pick in the 3rd is a mega steal. Would jump on that all day everyday |

Devante Parker, WR, Miami Dolphins Melvin Gordon, RB, Los Angeles Chargers Marcus Peters, CB, Kansas City Chiefs Shane Ray, EDGE, Denver Broncos Shaq Thompson, OLB, Carolina Panthers Byron Jones, DB, Dallas Cowboys Landon Collins, FS, New York Giants Jalen Collins, CB, Atlanta Falcons Eric Kendricks, LB, Minnesota Vikings We took Andrus Peat, Stephone Anthony, and Hau'oli Kikiha with our first three picks and passed on all these guys. We can't keep doing this. Last year was a step in the right direction. |
