Kiper/McShay dueling mock draft

11. New Orleans Saints
Kiper: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple | Watch highlights
One of the draft's hottest names, Reddick's value is in his versatility -- he could play inside or outside in a 4-3 or 3-4. For the Saints, I see him as an outside 'backer who could play on his feet on first and second down and rush the passer on third downs.
McShay: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple | Watch highlights
A virtual unknown outside of draft circles entering the Senior Bowl, Reddick looks like a top-15 pick after a great week of practices in Mobile and an elite combine performance, including a 4.52 40 and 11-foot-1 broad jump at 237 pounds. I see him as an off-the-ball LB in the pros, Mel; he possesses the speed and change-of-direction skills to be an effective at the next level.
32. New Orleans Saints (from Patriots)
Kiper: John Ross, WR, Washington | Watch highlights
With Brandin Cooks now in New England, Ross is an ideal replacement. Cooks ran a 4.33 40 at the combine, the fastest among receivers in 2014, and Ross set the combine record with a 4.22. Ross had 81 catches for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns last season. New Orleans needs defensive help, too, and could eye a corner.
McShay: Patrick Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech | Watch highlights
Mahomes is loaded with arm talent, but he'll need the sandlot aspect of his game coached out of him at the next level. The Saints are still searching for Drew Brees' heir apparent, and Mahomes fits the mold of a QB with upside, if given the time to develop.

42. New Orleans Saints
Kiper: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU | Watch highlights
A four-year starter for the Tigers, White could have been a Day 3 pick a year ago but made the right decision to return to school. If the Saints can't pry away Malcolm Butler from the Patriots, they could turn to a local product in White at the end of Day 1 or early on Day 2.
McShay: Tyus Bowser, DE/OLB, Houston | Watch highlights
Bowser turned heads at the combine, finishing in the top five among linebackers in vertical and broad jumps, along with the 40-yard dash and three-cone drill. His explosive traits give him upside as an edge-rusher; the Saints continue to search for someone to play opposite of Cameron Jordan along the D-line.

I wouldn't be upset with either draft to be honest.

I'm just not a fan of taking Mahomes in the 1st.
I wouldn't hate Kipers draft though

we don't need someone who can rush the passer on 3rd down.
we need someone to rush the passer every down.

Why would we draft Ross? It would mean we traded Cooks away just to draft another speedy WR that may or may not be as good as him.

like any selection made at 32, saints would really need to love the value of player at pick.

I'm not saying I want them to do it, but Ross would cost a fraction of the amount Cooks will. And theoretically also have a fraction of the attitude that helped fuel the Cooks exit. That is not apples to apples.

I would love the Ross pick. Basically get a faster version at 20% of the cost.
I actually like a combination of their drafts.

You get 5 years of him vs 2? He could also be better.

You don't know for sure if he will be better. That's my point. Makes the Cooks trade seem pointless IMO.
We need to go defense with both picks anyway.
