2008 Saints Mock Draft (1 Viewer)

[DrudkhFan]

The equation should be
Balmer - Balmer = Sullivan
because Sullivan has to equal 0, Balmer = Sullivan/2 would make Balmer equal to zero before he could prove himself which is not fair.


But I think Balmer is a huge reach at 10, we would have to trade down so me to even consider him. And I would prefer Cason even if we did trade down.

Adibi could be good but I don't know if he is the best fit for us. I like him though, I think he will be a great player.

If the draft went the way you made it CB would be the best pick in the 3rd, so I like the pick there, unless a good TE falls.

I would like a WR in the 5th, but C is fine

I don't know much about the Saftey you have there, but other interesting FS are Dominique Barber, and Corey Lynch.

If Frank Okam is still around in the 7th I would love to pick him, but I think someone will give him a chance before then, but you never know what teams are thinking.

....okam in the 7th? thats not a stretch that he falls that low or anything..definitely not.

He was probally a 3rd or 4th round pick before the combine, then he shows up at the combine over weight, I think a lot of teams may avoid him, he didn't have a great season last year.

 

[DeuceMcAllisterFan]

He's a 4th and 5th at worst and I bet some teams may reach for him in the late 3rd.

 

[DrudkhFan]

He's probally going to be there in the 5th, I accually think we should draft him in the 5th if he's there.

round1 DB. -DRC from TSU,round2 T. Laws from ND

^ that would be a nice 2 round selection.

 

[aflciosaints]

i like balmer and i am confident that the coaches would get him to play up to his high potential and i would not mind taking him at 10 if ellis and dorsey are gone, however i really think the saints are going try to trade up and get ellis or dorsey

okam would definately not be there in the 7th i don't think, someone like Jack Ikeguonu cb from wisconson could be a good pickup in the later rounds because he was one of the top rated corners before he hurt his knee, i would like the saints to give him a shot in the 6th or 7th round

i would personally switch the 2nd and 3rd round selections, as CB is a slightly greater need witht he morgan signing and at 41 there would be a great chance of a first round rated Cb to fall, like talib or cason or reggie smith, and then a olb in the third but i wouldn't mind that draft

 

[boo-boo]

I read somewhere the saints we kind high on balmer. i wouldn't exspect him to go that high. If they really want high i would exspect them to try to trade down or to trade up to get a second first round pick.

 

[SquatchySaint]

Yuk....we better get a cornerback...It was murder at the damn Eagles game watching McCrabbs torch our secondary...... I'm tired of enemy fans coming into our house and cheering...I want them to leave humbled, haunted and speechless....

OK, I minored in math back in the days when I was sober all the time, and I like this one.

B = S/2. So S is twice as good as B? Or am I doing it wrong? 2B = S.


And

"Now, I do not deny that he has first round talent, but with drafting, we are measuring the probability of a players success versus pick number (I know it is a little more complicated than that, but this is my basic understanding of it). I just don't think the probability of his success equates to the tenth pick of the draft."

After carefully examining probability, I think he is saying he doesn't think we'll take Balmer.

Two different opinions. Life is good.

Sorry for the confusion. Does this help?

Balmer lbs = Sullivan lbs/2
or
Literally, Balmer is half the man Sullivan is.

Didn't we invite a Longhorn lineman to camp last year and he quit after a few days? He was supposed to have a ton of potential.

round1 DB. -DRC from TSU,round2 T. Laws from ND

That is the first 2 picks I like too.

 

[Rich Jr]

Frank Okam in the 7th. Yeah ok.

 

[cruize]

I'd rather have Cromartie in the first and a guy like DT Moore in the second if the Saints are going to reach for a DT.
