I would love Jason Verrett,Gilbert,or Dennard TBH...Verrett most likely would be there IMO.For WR,maybe we can pick up Marqise Lee in the 1st Round IF he is there...If not,in the 2nd,we could potentially get Beckham,Robinson,Juice,Mathews,Richardson,etc...

The guy I REALLY want in like the 3 round range is Shayne Skov...I think he will be a stud.

No way Mosely falls to is. If he is still there around 24 or so we might even consider moving up.

Detillier says the Saints will field offers to trade back


Every team will field offers. In the early running of draft scenarios I can see that happening. The difference between #27 and say #37 is very small compared to #17 vs. #27.

How about this question...
Who could the Saints NOT pass on at #27? When I look at The Next 15 in the OP I'd go-
Mosley
Gilbert
Lee
maybe Verrett
Haha & Pryor depends on how free agency shakes out and how they rate them.

For trading, teams with more picks are most fluid. Here's the teams with the most draft currency in the first 3 rds.-

(Pick #s)
BALTIMORE
16/17
47/48
78/79
CLEVELAND
4, 26
35
71, 83
DALLAS
16/17
47/48
78/79
MINNESOTA
8
40
72, 96
ST. LOUIS
2, 13
44
75
SAN FRANCISCO
30
56, 61
77, 94

guys like Kiper keep mocking the OT from Tennessee to the Saints. Antonio Richardson is a guy who I think could help the Saints out. Maybe at right tackle though? Same thing with Martin. I don't know how often teams use a 1st round pick and start the guy at right tackle though.

I'm pretty sure the top 3 tackles that went this past year all did this actually in Eric Fisher, Luke Joeckel, and Lane Johnson. But I think that's more just getting them on the field this year and having them eventually move back to LT.

If Strief and DLP both really don't come back, it wouldn't surprise me of we go T and C with our first two picks. But then again, we usually fill dire needs with FAs as opposed to draft picks

Fluker and Justin Pugh were 1st Rders that were pure RTs.

I won't complain for a studly RT. I'm down for anything to reduce the hits & pressures on Brees. 2006-2008 he averaged less than 16 sacks a season. 2013- 37 sacks. Even worse is his Sack %. His high had been 3.7% (three times) previously. 2013- 5.4%

If I was picking the one area that needs specific improvement the most it is this. At this date we have two OL starters that are undefined. It may be Lelito & Bryce Harris but we really dunno from our perspective.

gotcha.

I think the 49ers drafted Anthony Davis in the 1st round and he's their starting right tackle.

Antonio Richardson is known more for his mauling style of blocking. I think he'd bring a little more of a physical presence to the O-line.

that would be nice to have against defenses like Carolina, Seattle, and San Fran.

especially against the 49ers and that a-hole Ahmad Brooks. That guy has been a real thorn in the Saints side the last few times the Saints have played S.F.

I think our WRs deserve some of the blame for this also.

I wouldn't want to pass on Gilbert or Mosley, but I think they'll be gone...I like the idea of putting another stud safety next to Vaccaro, but I would be OK with passing on the others.

...for now, I think the Saints will go with a T or a WR

I'd rather they go after a WR in FA. There will be plenty. I like taking o-line early in the draft unless someone falls that we can't pass up.

No doubt in my mid OBJ's stock will go up after the combine workouts
Agreed. I think we will be lucky to get him at 27 when it's all said and done.

Personally, I think OBJ would be the lucky one in that scenario.

This WR class impresses me greatly in depth. I think the Saints #58 this year could draw a wideout that might more usually get 1st Rd consideration. That is, some of the potentials in that range are pretty good. Such as:

Donte Moncrief
Davante Adams
Jarvis Landry
Paul Richardson
Brandon Coleman
Allen Robinson

Jarvis Landry is the obvious choice.

after posting that I'm scouring around and see that Mayock is coming out today saying this is the deepest draft class in ten years. He said a top 20 this year is more like a top 10 in other years. He also noted WRs as the deepest group and that quality tackles will be had in the 3rd Rd.

I've never been high on OBJ. He's fast, can get open easily, but tends to drop a lot of balls and fumbles. Would be more content with Landry if I had to choose.
