Post-Ryan hiring Mock

2013 New Orleans Saints Draft

1st Round (trade back to #22 with STL) – Desmond Trufant – CB (Washington)
***trade makes since because they have multiple picks and will be willing to sacrifice a second rounder to grab Chance Warmack. They also pick at #16, I say they will get Vaccarro with that pick. This trade would be of great value to both teams! Desmond Trufant is a shut down corner with EXCELLENT man coverage ability, we need that right now obviously. Ryan’s defense will count on this more than the other DC’s, hence, the reason he traded so far up into the 1st last year to get Claiborne.

2nd Round (from STL pick #48 overall) – Jesse Williams - NT (Bama)

3rd Round – Chris Faulk - OT (LSU)

4th Round – Brandon Jenkins - OLB (Florida State)

4th Round (from trade of a RB) – Chase Thomas - OLB (Stanford)

5th Round – Devin Thomas - DE (South Carolina)

6th Round – Corey Fuller – WR (Virginia Tech)

7th Round – Mario Benavides – C (Louisville)


Free Agency Targets
-Connor Barwin – OLB (Houston Texans)
-Phillip Wheeler – OLB (Oakland Raiders)
-Dannell Ellerbee – ILB (Baltimore Ravens)
-Larry Grant – ILB (SF 49ers)
-Jared Cook – TE (Tennesse Titans)
-Andre Smith – OT (Cincinnati Bengals)

I don’t think FS will be a huge problem, I can see FS being taken over by IAQ.
Although I am not sold on Jesse Williams, I would love this draft.
