re: Fwiw, Kiper's latest mock draft released today

I know someone is going to unexpectedly drop on draft day. I think that's who the Saints will take.

a few years ago that is exactly what happened with Cameron Jordan. Teams made surprising picks at QB that helped him fall to us.

I think OL will be the wildcard here. The Martin kid from ND can play every OL position except for C. That wouldn't be a bad addition if he falls. Also, I know this board would flip it's shite, but I wouldn't be shocked to hear Cyrus Kouandijo's name called. It depends on the Saints big board, obviously. If you're drafting for depth it's not a terrible place to start.

No doubt about it. I'd actually be surprised if the Saints picked a WR in Round 1. There is plenty of depth at the position in this year's class.

I know they picked Meachem at this same spot back in 2007. He was the last real surprising pick IMO. PRob would be next but the Saints had a plan back then because they were moving Jenkins to safety. Still raised some eyebrows with that pick. I didn't really care at the time. I was still in such a good mood after finally seeing the Saints win a Super Bowl.
