It's still early to get anything realistic, but it's fun to start early and learn about mid-late round prospects!

1: Tim Williams - DE - Alabama
2: Jake Butt - TE - Michigan
3: Kendell Beckwith - ILB - LSU
4: Quenton Nelson - G - Norte Dame
5: N/A
6: TJ Watt - OLB - Wisconsin
7: Lorenzo Jerome - FS - Cincinnati

TJ Watt won't be there in the 6th. Every thing t read has him 3rd or higher

Nelson and Watt will both be long gone.

Nelson and Watt will both be long gone.

Hence the part about mocks not being realistic this early. I pretty much only pay any real attention to rounds 1-3 until after the combine.

 

[Trey W.]

I love Beckwith but for people on here already complaining about our LB's lack in coverage, that's typically the knock on him. He would greatly improve our run defense.

We need a RT and RT in the mid rounds and would rather have one in the 3rd.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Nelson is a first or second round talent.

I'm thinking both will go in rounds 1-3. But crazy stuff always happens so I could very well be wrong.

Everything I've heard says the same thing. I'm thinking round 2.

No way we take Williams in the first with his arrest earlier in the year. Nelson won't last anywhere near the 4th in a weak o-limeman year. I also don't see us spending that high of a pick on a TE, especially after paying fleener and with hill coming along great.

I see our draft more as:
1: Jabrill Peppers LB/S - you can never have too many playmakers on defense, and Peppers is a playmaker at multiple positions.
2: Solomon Thomas DE Stanford - Not the flashy pure pass rushing de everyone wants (I think we have 2 good ones already in Kikaha and Edibali), but he is an all around de in the Cameron Jordan mold.
3:Taylor Moton OT Western Michigan - Guard will be addressed in free agency I believe. If not Moton is a guy that can play RG or RT, so he could help immediately.

I haven't done much research on later round candidates so I will stop there.

No way we pick Peppers in the first. He's a poor man's Vaccaro. The other picks would be decent but I hope we do better.

I'd be fine with Williams in the first. I'd take him over Peppers for sure.

I did the mock draft simulator on the Fanspeak site and here's what I got. Saints picked 12th.

1. Leonard Fournette RB LSU
2. Zach Cunningham LB Vandy
3. Duane Smoot DE Illinois
4. Curtis Samuel WR/RB Ohio St.
5.
6. Caleb Peterson OL N. Carolina
7. Channing Stribling CB Michigan

Peppers is far from a poor man's Vacarro. He is literally the definition of a playmaker. You can line him up anywhere from MLB to WLB to outside cornerback and he would dominate. Not to mention the added bonus of getting an elite return man.

I honestly don't see the fascination with Tim Williams from everyone. He wasn't even in the top 3 best players on Alabama's defense. I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that he will be a bust in the NFL.

1. Tim Williams
2. Adoree Jackson/Tre White
3. Moton/Beckwith/Watt

Okay, unrealistic huh? K...

Round 1 - Barnett
Trade remaining 2017 draft to get back into round 1 - Cunningham
Trade 2018 draft to get back into round 1 - McCaffrey
Trade 2019 draft to get back into round 1 - Walker

Done...
