Mel Kiper's updated 1st round mock (3/4/08) (1 Viewer)

[Hedon James]

Is it just me or does Kiper say we need to get a CB every year :dunno:

Is it just me, or do we NEED to get a CB every year? He's just stating the obvious; the Saints ignore the obvious; repeat cycle...

well its probably because we need a cornerback every year.

i haven't paid a Kiper mock any attention in years.. he's a decent scout but terrible at these draft predictions

I never said we didn't need a CB. It is just the same thing out of him every year is all I was pointing out. To be honest Kiper's opinion on things is about as productive as a wet fart.

Care to share with the non-insiders?

Sorry, guillermo, but Pay sites can't be copied. But in my own words (which is fair game):

Mel essentially thinks that Chris Long will be the first pick taken followed by Dorsey and then Ryan. He sees Ellis going at 8 and DRC going at 7 with McFadden going to the Raiders. Gholston to the Jets, Jake Long to KC and Merling to the Bengals.

Just one round.

Never underestimate the productivity of a wet fart.

Anyway, the more I hear about DRC, the more I want him. Personally, if we left this draft with him and Connor as a 2nd round pick, I'd feel really good going into the season. DRC seems like he has the tools to make it work in the league and Connor comes from a big time college program where he made plays against other star players who are in the league or about to be. We can then use the rest of the draft to get our D and O -lines depth and maybe fit in a safety. I say this with the mindset we address TE in FA.

So, should he change it when it is true?

Hey Kooldak, sorry for the rough demand on my part. I still don't see the raiders picking McFadden, with with them you never know.

Now, let's talk about Leodis. I know we all like DRC but I am sure we are not the only ones. If he is gone as well as the two tackles (we are the saints, and these things happen to us often), then who would you prefer? Leodis McKelvin or Rivers?

Besides his cover skills, McKelvin will be a plus for his abilities in the return game. Rivers is a good linebacker, but I think we can get a good one also on the second round.

One player I am not excited for is Mike Jenkins, surely I would love to see more of his game to make a better judgement.

So Rivers or McKelvin, who would you prefer?

Kiper was also asked which DT could slide to the Saints at 10 in his weekly chat...he said it would be impossible, that he doesn't think either of them get past number 8 if that far.

 

[Deuce N' Bush]

well its probably because we need a cornerback every year.

Could we please Draft DRC have three good CBs, and cut Jason David and Fred Thomas? That would make my year. Then next year Kiper and his hair could suggest another position. Lets just hope he doesn't say QB.

Kiper is worthless. He rarely picks more than a 1/4 of the picks correctly. i put no stock in his opinion.

he, he, he...

Sorry if it sounded like a dis LoneStar, I was agreeing with you.

 

[kooldak]

Hey Kooldak, sorry for the rough demand on my part....

Not a problem.

 

[TheDeparted]

If only we could have DRC and McKenzie with Young as the nickel to learn from MM before he retires or moves on...I'm setting myself up for dissapointment
