Everyone has the Saints taking a wr or a Guard but there at 24 but there are a few other players on my board who I deem worthy of the Pick.

Here is my list:

Qb Justin Herbert--Daniel Jeremiah has him falling to #23 in his post-combine mock.





Qb Jacob Eason--prototype pro-style qb from Washington who can step right into Teddy Bridgewater's Shoes.




DE Josh Uche--a Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil, or Robert Mathis type LB/DE with 4.4 closing speed and burst to hunt the QB.



DE Terrell Lewis---Injury history is a concern but has the makings of an Elite Pass rusher.





LB Kenneth Murray--elite sideline-to-sideline player



CB Jeff Gladney--Sticky coverman who blankets wrs. Could step right in at Nickel or become a spot starter.




Patrick Queen MLB-- ran a 4.4 at the combine and has very good cover skills

 
I wouldn’t be surprised with a QB or a corner if the right one is there. I hope we don’t take a WR in the 1st as there is great value at WR in this draft imo.
 
In someone’s latest mock they have us taking Fulton with #24 and then the Vikings right after us taking Delpit. If Delpit is there I’d love to have him.

In reality I can see us picking an OT to play guard. Sean prefers taking OT’s and playing them at guard (Nicks, Evans, & Peat). I think Warford is probably the first true guard we’ve had during Sean’s tenure.

There is a chance a stud LB falls like Murray or Queen. With Anzalone unable to stay healthy and the probable loss of Klein we do need some LB’s.

Outside of the top 5 or so picks it’s just to hard to know who will be there.

Would love either of those backers.
 
I think we will have a better idea after free agency, but here are my sleepers.

-Jonathan Taylor is a player I really like and I think he is perfect for our offense. He will be available, more or less the same way Mark Ingram was when we got him. I am sure Sean Payton will be very intrigue with this class of running backs, even when we have depth right now.

- I agree with Nofalcons 10 on LB Kenneth Murray. He will be a day one starter. I think linebacker is a very interesting position to follow in the next weeks.

- Safeties is an interesting position, and if Xavier McKinney falls, it can be an interesting pick preparing for the future.
 
Hurts. I know he not a need but he is a "dark horse".

I am sure they will be very tempted if he lasted by the third round, but I don't see him as a first draft pick for us.

But I do like him a lot. I would not be mad if we picked him in the second round, but we don't have the pick.

I agree. We know there is going to be a QB run but I don't know when its going to happen. I don't see him lasting to the third though.

Regarding this, I think Friday I was watching NFL Live and both Louis Riddick and McShay said that they heard from multiple teams that Jacob Eason didn't do well in the interviews. It seems that it was about how he presented himself, not understanding the importance of these meetings.

Take it with a grain of salt, but if he starts falling, this may be the reason why.

I would love to get Murray at 24, but I suspect he will be a top 18 pick. I don't think Queen is value at 24.

I would personally like to see us trade down. But trading down is not in this organization's DNA.
