Here's his selection for the Saints:

quote:

27. New Orleans Saints: DE Dee Ford, Auburn

The Saints have made a big bet at safety with the addition of Jairus Byrd, but while the back end of the defense is locked down, and the front is in decent shape with the growth of Cameron Jordan, John Jenkins and Akiem Hicks, the Saints could really use an edge rusher. Ford isn't a three-down player, but he can be a constant problem for offenses when he's on the field as a speed rusher. Given the QBs the Saints have to deal with, speed off the edge will be useful.

Noticed he forget Galette. Noticed Galette finished second in sacks with 12. Noticed Galette improved his run defense greatly and became a 3 down player. Noticed most of these experts are idiots.

Maybe it's just me, but I just don't see us going D-Line in the 1st rd.
Dee Ford is a special player and wouldn't mind having him, but we have more pressing needs. Particularly at the skill positions...

I like Dee, but I don't see us making him our 1st pick.

Kiper

Cam Newton, fine. But the legless Matt Ryan and Josh McCown scare the fricking bejesus out of us all, AMIRITE?

big thing that sticks out to me about Ford is that he had back injury in college.

caused him to take a medical redshirt.

he had a herniated disc.

don't hate anything about his game but picking a guy who has had some back problems in the 1st round... eh.

I don't like Ford and I would be surprised if the FO and CSP did .. I am behind whatever we decide to do but I really hope we don't take Ford or Ealy

I wonder if there's a site that keeps track of "prominent" analyst mock drafts and their success rate.

eat: from 2008 Draft Scorecard - 2008

Pretty bad.

Do you get a sense of where you'll go to in the first round?

Dee Ford: I hear a lot of talk about Philadelphia and New Orleans. I'm hearing more of the 20 to 30 range. It doesn't matter to me. All I need is the opportunity.

Just so you know Kiper is never right about his mocks ever. How he got his pre-draft fame I will never understand. He's a moron!


This Kyper knows more about the X's and O's than he does....
