I’m inclined to think the Saints would ideally like to leave this draft w/ Bowers

The following list is who I think provides the most value to the team at 14 and therefore who they should draft there. It’s just my opinion which is based on my gut feeling as a fan with no factual evidence to support it. Which means it’s the gospel and everyone should agree with me.

1) Any of the top QB prospects if the team truly believes they can be a franchise guy for the next 10 years. If they are sold on a QB, the chances of him being available at 14 is extremely low and I think the chances of us drafting QB is virtually non existent.

2) Alt. We need help on the line. We need help at tackle. If he’s there at 14 I just don’t see how we can make any other pick. Unfortunately I dont think he will be available.

3) Bowers. This seems to be a luxury but he is a top 15 talent if not higher. On the off chance he’s available I say grab him and then go with options B, C, and D to fix the OLine.

4) Any of the next 2-4 tackles. We need OT help desperately and luckily these players will likely be best player available at 14. Rare situation where need and BPA match up. Gut feelings says this is the pick most likely to happen.

5) DL. Verse, Turner or Newton seem to be the top choices here.

6) Trade back! If somehow none of the above players are available trade back. I don’t see this happening.

7) WR. If one of the top guys is there and all of the above players or gone. Take them. They will BPA but this will be selection im least happy with. I would rather a trade back in this situation.

8) DL again. Latu or Murphy but they feel like reaches at 14 to me.

9) Any of the remaining OL prospects but again they feel like reaches at 14.

10) One of the top DBs. While they could possibly be BPA and not reaches I just don’t see the value of them to the Saints. It’s just not a position we should target at 14. Especially if Latt will be here next year.

Just my thoughts. Which makes them absolutely correct. Lol.
