Realistic Mock Draft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Round 1)
Saints' Pick:
Keith Rivers OLB
The more I think about it the more that this picxk makes sense. The Saints probally feel fairly safe at corner right now, like they did a year ago. Rivers has the most potiential of any OLB this year and could become a great player. I've watched him in a few games recently, and he accually isn't as bad as some people make him out to be. I love Cromartie, but I don't know if the Saints love him as much. I would love to trade up for Ellis or Dorsey but I don't think they will fall past pick 5. With McKenzie coming back healthy the Saints will feel like they are good at CB.
My Pick:
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB
I really want Cromartie, I can understand why some people don't want him, but from what I've seen, he has all the potienital in the world. I hear that he is a quick learner as well, which would help him adjust to the NFl quickly. He may be from a small school, but he did dominate. I wouldn't want to pass up on this potiential, he can become the best corner ever! Maybe I just haven't seen enough busts in my short time as a Saints fan to know not to take the risk.
Round 2)
Saints' Pick:
Trevor Laws DT
There are no negatives when it comes to Trevor Laws, he always gets the job done, and he will never give up until the play is over. He may not have ideal size, but he would still work very well in a 4-3 defense like the Saints run. He is projected as a mid 2rd round pick, but if the Saints have looked into him at all they know he's worth the pick at 40. I just don't see who else we would pick here, and Trevor Laws could very well be the answer at DT for us. We will probally add a NT as well in the later rounds.
My Pick
Trevor Laws:
I completely agree with picking Trevor Laws in the 2nd.
Round 3)
Saints' Pick:
Jermichael Finley TE
It's pretty obvious that Billy Miller, and Eric Johnson are not the future off this team at TE, what we need is a athletic TE like Jermicheal Finley. He is still very inexperienced but will shine with Brees throwing to him. Payton would not be able to pass up on an offensive player for 3 entire rounds, and TE is probally our biggest need on offense.
My Pick:
Josh Johnson QB
I think that Josh Johnson has a lot of potiential, he is an excellent athlete and only threw one interception last season. He probally isn't Payton's type of QB, but he is my type of QB. He would be ready to take over when Brees retires. (I HOPE THAT'S NOT ANY TIME SOON)
Round 5)
Saints' Pick:
Frank Okam DT
He is a big guy, that has been lazy at times, You could call him the second coming of Shaun Rogers. A big NT from Texas that is lazy and fat, but when he plays he makes an impact. But the difference is that Okam is projected to go in the 5th round while Rogers went in the 2nd. This pick isn't going to get you a full time contributor, but when he does play as well as he is able to he will show us first round talent.
My Pick:
Frank Okam:
I like Okam as well
Round 6)
Corey Lynch FS
a FS that is also amazing on special teams, he could probally at least bring competition to the FS Position.
Round 7)
Frenando Velasco C/G
a solid OLine pick up.
