Taking another stab at a mock draft...

R2P30 OG Nate Davis (Charlotte)
*Saints Trade 2019 7th Round Pick (#231) and 2020 2nd Round Pick to Patriots*
R3P9 TE Dax Raymond (Utah St)
R5P30 WR Gary Jennings (West Virginia)
R6P4 DT Chris Slayton (Syracuse)
R6P29 ILB Ty Summers (TCU)
R7P30 HB Alexander Mattison (Boise St)

Oh boy, I can see the outrage now if this is how our draft turned out lol.

A couple of scouting sources (Walter Football & NFLScout.com) has Nate ranked as the 8th rated OC. They also have him projected to land between the 3rd & 5th round.

Agreed - I'd come unglued if he was "the" pick in the 2nd round

Nate Davis barely checks in with the necessary measurables as a Center for us, but certainly not guard, and while quick, he's susceptible to bull rush on the interior - not a good thing for Drew...

Also, Saints usually carry seven to eight offensive linemen (though I'd wished we's carry more) where each player can play no less than two positions, he's not playing guard nor tackle...

Reviewing scouting on him several missed, but not NFL.com, that Davis was suspended by the NCAA suspension for four games for undisclosed infractions his Senior Year - not as some 18yo...

Taylor Rapp, S, Washington

Instinctive & has a nose for the ball. Solid tackler, a gamer & impressive tape. Probably gone in the 1st though.

His Sparq is disappointing and may push him into the second round, but you're absolutely right - he's a gamer with the attitude you want on your team...

Rapp will compete from whistle to whistle; really like him, but his limited athleticism at that position would give me pause to make a push to move and get him...

Tytus Howard - T Alabama State

Heir apparent to Armstead ?

Great size/length & has played multiple spots on the line. Possibly a Day2/3 guy.

I believe the guy to replace Armstead is already on the team - Ryan Ramczyk...

Fair enough.

IIRC he started 3 or 4 games on the left side (as a rookie), then took over on the right for Streif. Ryan is a beast of a tackle.

Hindsight is 20/20, but getting this level of talent at pick #32 was stealing.
