Mock Drafts (Saints) DB's or WR's

Just logically thinking CB, or WR seems to be the likely choice based on value. If you're taking an early look at how Round 1 might shape up.

There are about 6 First round worthy Corners, (Okudah, Fulton, Henderson, Diggs, Jaylon Johnson, Gladney) a few more that are 2nd round grade but could go in round 1. (Dantzler, Hall, Terrell)

And there are about 15 Wide receivers that many consider top '60-70' prospects.

If we look at other positional values:

Interior OL: there aren't really any Guards that are worth a late first rounder in my mind this year. IMO Netane Muti is the only one 1st round worthy and that's only if you look past the season ending injuries.. Cushenberry? He has the toughness, but he's more of a 40-60 range guy; Cesar Ruiz maybe? he was the best Interior linemen at Michigan but it would be a bit of a reach to take him at 24. Jonah Jackson is the best pure pass protecting Guard and he should be a 2nd rounder.

Linebacker - only two available late 1, and neither are sure fire prospects. (Queen, Murray) plus Payton, and Loomis have shown they don't value taking Linebackers in round 1.. Only one Linebacker selected in Round 1 in their tenure.. and that was Stephone Anthony...

Interior D-line: this to me is the one big darkhorse.. no one is acknowledging it but we will need to improve in the Interior rotation next season.. especially if Onyemetta leaves in free agency. There is some value in round 1 with Interior rushers that can get pressure by shooting through gaps... Russ Blacklock from TCU, Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma, and Jordan Elliot, Missouri... all could go late round 1 and project as 3-techs with disruptive pass rush potential.

Quarterback: 24 is not the pick for a QB.. they rise to the top. I could see Payton taking Love if he falls.. but man that would be off pure physical attributes alone.. as he's going to need seasoning and to learn for a season... if the Saints take Eason, or Fromm at pick 24 I will probably scream and throw my remote threw the TV screen and not even watch the rest of the draft.


Pre-combine and pre-free agency if I had to put money on where the value will be if the Saints stay put at 24 it's on 1. CB, 2. WR. 3. IDL.
