Said that he believes, based on what he's heard, the Saints are going defense with the 1st pick....and that they'd like to get a center in the 2nd or 3rd.

Also said that in his opinion, no one has done a better job at signing undrafted free agents than the Saints since Loomis and SP came on board.

eta: he did not give names though.

Obviously he is paying attention to the reverse mock draft thread!

I can handle it, but yea, ready for all the speculation to end. Then we can move on to how Loomis sucks, we should have drafted this guy, we should have traded up/down, blah blah blah....

Could go special teams. Kicker or punter.

Looks like we're trading up to 15 or so for Justin Gilbert! ... If we're going C with the 2nd pick, the 2nd pick will be in the 3rd round.

I think it's more likely based on how quickly these receivers seem like they're gonna go.

Mosely/Barr or the top three CBs, and then Martin in the second would be sweet

Could be a smokescreen or could be legit. Either way I think it's way more likely a defensive player gets picked because it's hard to see them taking anything other than WR in the 1st on offense, whereas about any defensive position(even safety if one of the top 2 fall) is up for grabs.

Also the fact that the draft is deep at WR, which makes pressing for one in the first(especially with the run on WRs being mocked now with no 1st rounders left at our pick) unnecessary.

It's easier to move up in the 2nd and take a 2nd round WR than doing so in the first, and the drop off isn't expected to be much.

Also I've been thinking about the trade up rumor with the Bears. It makes sense in the fact that it keeps Mosley out of the NFC North(if that's who we are grabbing), gives the Bears a ton of value with extra picks, and is likely the only way to ensure we get Mosley.

#123 – WR - John Brown – Pittsburg State

@TomPelissero: USC center Marcus Martin was added to NFL Draft invite list. Will be in NYC. Could be late 1st-round pick. Worked out for #Saints this week.

Well I did say that was a possibility, but didn't think it would really happen.

We'll see. #Smokescreens? #TheTruthIsOutThere
