Walter Football

New Orleans Saints: Derek Rivers, DE/OLB, Youngstown State
The Saints want to select a pass-rusher in the first round. That didn't happen, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind landing Derek Rivers in the second round.


New Orleans Saints: Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami
The Saints don't have a successor for Drew Brees, so this could be the time to obtain a potential future quarterback.

New Orleans Saints: Duke Riley, LB, LSU
The Saints have needed to bolster their linebacking corps for years now, so perhaps this is when they'll actually get it done.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

Re: Saints NFL 2017 Draft Days In Game Discussion

in my mock

42 - Marcus Williams FS Utah 6005 202 4.56 #20 Jr

76 - Tarell Basham DE Ohio 6036 269 4.70 #93 Sr

103 - George Kittle TE Iowa 6036 250 4.53 #46 rSr

So scratch them off the list of player the will draft even if they are on the board.

I like that we got the best DB in the draft, but I'm still miffed that we bypassed Barnett and the D end position.

Everyone here all offseason was saying front 7 will make the DB's better, SP just ignored that.

I hope to god our next few picks are up front, we have been getting beat at the line for years and I don't know how it wasn't addressed.

I like Barnett too. He is one of those guys that doesn't have the size people rave about, but he is just get a good football player. That said, I like what we did, I always believe BPA is what you should do. Plus, stay where you're at with all 4 picks or trade back. Just my opin.

The only frustration i have is i think they could have got a edge rusher with a trade with the Raiders. Coley was not going anywhere and we could have got a better DE by trading up

Seriously, all the good DEs are already off the board? I don't think so. Still want to smack anyone having us taking a QB in the first five rounds.

Why would we draft another DB before addressing some other areas in our D first?

No, I don't think all the best DEs are off the board yet; point of fact, I know not all the best DEs are off the board...
