My First Mock (Top 10)

The draft pick value chart says that there is a 100 point difference between the #8 overall pick and the #10 over all pick... and there is a 200 point difference between the #7 overall pick and the #10 overall pick. Basically, the difference of a 3rd or 4th round pick.

If Dorsey or Ellis is there at #7 or #8... the Saints have to look to trade up with NE or BAL to get either guy.

Give up the 3rd this year... and even an additional second day pick next year to sweeten the deal if you have to.

You have a good point Infoman, and that is the common belief, but let's be honest... What's the bust rate of a top 10 pick vs. a 10-20 pick. Is it really THAT different? I would love to see some hard evidence on that. I believe the value at the top is to get the player you want.
