Mock Draft Season

I'm going to modify my picks a little.

62:R2P30
QB WILL GRIER
WEST VIRGINIA
There are numerous picks that I would like here, but I've started to love the idea of drafting Will Grier with this pick. The Saints have shown a lot of interest in Grier. He may not be quite as pro-ready, but he is eerily similar to Baker Mayfield. They also both have the QB intangibles you can't teach: being a strong competitor and leader. Grier had a great showing in the SEC for Florida as a freshman before he tested positive for an illegal, over-the-counter supplement. Since then, he transferred to West Virginia and has had a solid career. He had a completion rate of 67%, 37 TDs, and 8 INT as a senior. Grier and Mayfield's measurables are nearly identical:
Grier:
HEIGHT- 6'2"
WEIGHT-217
ARMS-31 1/2"
HANDS-9 3/8”
40 Yard Dash-4.84
Vertical Jump-34.0"
Broad Jump-112.0"
3 Cone Drill-7.09
20 Yd Shuttle-4.28

Mayfield:
HEIGHT-6'1"
WEIGHT-215
ARMS-30 1/4"
HANDS-9 1/4”
40 Yard Dash-4.84
Vertical Jump-29.0"
Broad Jump-111.0"
3 Cone Drill-7.0
20 Yd Shuttle-4.28

Like I said, I don't think Will Grier is quite as pro-ready, but, measurably, he is a more athletic Baker Mayfield, except Grier is 1" taller and arms 1" longer. Athletically, he's Mayfield without the knock for height/arm length. He also has the intangibles: strong competitor, and a leader.

"Seamless technique in his drops. Smooth operator. Has the ability to read the defense and deliver the ball with a quick release. Possesses the necessary arm strength and generates enough torque to fit the ball through intermediate windows and holes in the defense. Can throw with touch to all areas of the field. Accurate in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Aware of leverage and can hit back shoulder throws. Thrives driving the ball up the seam. Mobile in the pocket and has the athleticism to move out of structure. Off-platform throws or on the run throws are still accurate. Can offer an additional dynamic with his above average athleticism and mobility. Passionate leader. "

WR HUNTER RENFROW
CLEMSON
I bumped Hunter Renfrow to this pick because I don't think he lasts until Round 6. The Saints were highly interested in Adam Humphries this offseason, who I wanted the Saints to sign, but he was too expensive. Draft his clone in Hunter Renfrow. Renfrow is an average athlete, but he has incredible hands and route running ability. His stats against Alabama in 2 National Championship games: 17 catches, 180 yards, and 4 touchdowns. He was appropriately named Mr. Clutch. Renfrow was also very impressive at the Senior Bowl. He is exactly the type of slot receiver we need to move the chains on 3rd down.

177: R6P4
TE FOSTER MOREAU
LSU
There are numerous TEs I would not mind with this pick. To name a few: Kahale Warring, Isaac Nauta, and Zach Gentry.

Moreau has proven he is an excellent blocker, which hindered his production at LSU because he was used primarily as a blocker. But, when his number was called as a receiver, Moreau has shown he has exceptional hands and is a reliable receiver. Moreau showcased his receiving abilities at the senior bowl.

Although Isaac Nauta didn't test well, I still like this pick. He plays faster than he tested and he is very Jeremy Shockey like with the ball in his hands making defenders pay.
"With his play speed, ability to maintain separation and ready-steady hands, Nauta fits the mold of a "matchup tight end" with the ability to factor in on all three levels. He doesn't need scheme help to uncover against man coverage and has potential to become a solid move blocker to help elevate the perimeter run game.

202: R6P29
OT OLI UDOH
Here, Saints add a solid high-upside OT for offensive line depth. Udoh has the size, length, and power/strength of an NFL OT. However, he lacks the quickness for move-blocking duties. I trust the Saints F.O. to find a solid offensive lineman with this pick.

231: R7P17
FB Alec Ingold
Saints have shown interest in Ingold. Give Zach Line some competition. Ingold is a well-rounded FB with pass-catching abilities. There are other picks I wouldn't mind here, such as Tyron Johnson, WR, as a burner for backup duties to Ted Ginn. Johnson has shown he has great hands and burner speed running a 4.34 40. Oklahoma State used him to take the top off of defenses.

244: R7P30
LB Cole Holcomb
Saints have shown interest in Holcomb, bringing him in a for a private visit. Holcomb is a sleeper LB in this draft, a position at which the Saints could use some depth.

"Tough, instinctive linebacker who gets the most from his ability. Quickly picks up assignments, remains disciplined and gives great effort. Diagnoses plays before they unfold, fluidly flows to the action and quickly locates the ball. Does a great job making the defensive calls in the middle of the field. Fires up the field to fill gaps and gives effort against the run. Squares and wraps up tackling. "

"An incredible athlete, Holcomb demonstrates elite-level speed, agility and flexibility. His lateral quickness allows him to cover a tremendous amount of ground laterally and serve as an effective run-stuffer but it’s his closing speed that is considered to be his greatest attribute. Holcomb was praised by his coaches this past season for his leadership role"
