I am a Buffalo Bills fan (yes, those still exist), and every year we do a fun mock draft over on the Bills message board, where we each select a team to be the GM and draft for, and even make trades and such.
This year, I chose your beloved New Orleans Saints. We only do 3 rounds of the draft, and I wanted to come out with a CB, DT, and OLB for you all (I figured an o-lineman or safety could come in round 4 and beyond). However, I wanted to get real opinions from real knowledgeable fans on what you guys need or what to do with your draft selections since I am obviously not up to par as any of you would be.
The draft starts Monday, but while awaiting for my username to be approved here, I have already made a couple of trades. I traded with Philly, and swapped 1st round picks along with CB Lito Sheppard. I really wanted LB Keith Rivers for you guys at #10, but everyone in Bills land loves him, and with Bills fans comprising all of the teams' mock GM's, I know somebody will scoop him up before that pick.
So I was at #19 with CB Sheppard. I then traded with the Giants, swapped first round picks again, and landed TE Jeremy Shockey. So far, I've acquired CB Lito Sheppard and TE Jeremy Shockey and have't even given up a draft pick (I still have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd).
Now, at #31, I'm just going to see who is there, but my first choice would be LB Dan Connor (I think he is a great run-stopping LB that would be great for you guys), and I'm considering S Kenny Phillips if he's there because I read some threads on your board and realize he is popular here. I do a lot of work and film watching for a draft website, and I'm really really high on DT Pat Sims. I think he is very underrated. He is a big guy who can stuff the run, but is also very quick at getting off the ball and into the backfield. Personally, I feel he is one of the better DT's in this draft (call me crazy).
I'm hoping he will be there with my 2nd rounder, we'll see. I'm also thinking about Mayo at #31 (he can play outside no problem). But, what do you guys think? Where should I go with the picks, and who are some players on your radar? Suggestions? I'm just trying to get a better feel for Saints football!
