Too Early For A Mock Draft?

#9. New Orleans Saints - Sam Montgomery - LSU
New Orleans could use a pass-rusher. Will Smith is getting older, and a lack of pass rush has hurt the Saints.
Montgomery has been a leader of the Tigers' fierce defensive line. He totaled 49 tackles with 13.5 tackles for a loss, nine sacks and one forced fumble in 2011. Montgomery had 18 tackles with six tackles for a loss and two sacks as a freshman.
The 6-foot-4, 260-pounder added weight this offseason and that should help him to remain a 4-3 end prospect. He has the frame to continue to get bigger and will add weight as he ages.
The added bulk that Montgomery packed on over the offseason looks like it is helping with shedding blocks. He also looks more explosive as he is another year removed from his knee injury. Montgomery has 15 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss and two sacks this year.

The Saints are getting zero pressure on the quarterback. Cameron Jordan is good against the run, but he's been a bust as a pass-rusher thus far. Will Smith, meanwhile, looks like a shell of his former self. He's due $10 million in 2013, so he obviously won't be back.

I would take him back at a much lower restructured deal

I don't want Sam. Sorry. I think he's overrated

If we had the # 9 overall pick I'd hope we are able to trade down for more picks. It's not as tho our first rounders have exactly been pro bowlers anyhow

Does Sam Montgomery fit NO's defensive scheme as a DE? Serious question...
ETA: What did the NFL strip draft wise from NO in 2013? Wasn't it a 2nd rounder?

yeah.
but you know, some co-workers and I plan on going to a restaurant where Phil Savage does his radio show every Monday. He is the executive director of the Senior Bowl and former GM of the Cleveland Browns. I'll ask him a few questions about the Saints. I'm sure even he wouldn't have a clue on where a player would go in the draft or much less where a team will be picking in the draft at this point.
