1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – QB Marcus Mariota, Oregon

2. Tennessee Titans – QB Jameis Winston, Florida State

3. Jacksonville Jaguars – DT Leonard Williams, USC

4. New York Jets – DE Randy Gregory, Nebraska

5. Oakland Raiders – WR Amari Cooper, Alabama

6. Washington Redskins – OT Brandon Scherff, Iowa

7. New York Giants – DE Shane Ray, Missouri

8. Carolina Panthers – OT Andrus Peat, Stanford

9. Chicago Bears – FS Landon Collins, Alabama

10. New Orleans Saints – DE/OLB Vic Beasley, Clemson
The Saints locked up Junior Galette to a long-term deal, but need another athletic pass rusher who can give opposing offenses trouble. Beasley is an athletic rusher who can drop in space and be an aggressive chess piece for a 3-4 scheme

Anyone you wish would fall? (if the draft went this way). Or anyone you would have preferred who is still available? LINK

Sure, fine. People who know more about our depth chart than I do - are we severely deficient at DT right now? Or are we thin and exposed due to injuries?

I would love for Ray to fall. I don't like Beasley though. He is way too light and I think he would get owned by a lot of tackles and TEs in the league. I'm a big fan of Nate Orchard.

Our lack of pass rush has been the biggest problem with our defense and I think we need to overhaul both lines. So yea I'm on board with this.

These are two stupid projections. No way teams are lining up for mobile QBs...especially Tennessee who just rafted a QB last year.

Fine with me. We need another pass rusher big time. If Jordan and/or Galette don't get pressure, no one else is. Haralson is really only great at setting the edge for the run game.

I'd really only want a lineman or CB otherwise that high.

Jordan/Junior are underperforming relative to last season, but they're still OK. We're not getting any pressure in the interior, and our run defense is falling apart, so I'd put DT as a much higher priority than DE/OLB.

I really don't trust our front office to take a defensive player at all. I'd much rather grab o linemen or wrs and get our offense elite again. I feel like we can make a much larger immediate impact going this route as opposed to allowing a pass rusher to develop for 2-3 years. Clock is ticking on Brees career.

Vic Beasley would be awesome. I'd prefer Benardrick McKinney though. Dude will definitely fall at 10 for us. He can cover slot receivers as well as stop the run and rush the QB. He would be a huge upgrade over Hawthorne and Lofton.

landon collins at #10? a bit high for his skill set imo. He's a bulky safety that gets beat in pass coverage. Reminds me too much of Roman Harper

I honestly don't see Beasley being a 1st round pick come April. He's too small and gets washed out in the run game way too easily. On top of that, he gets caught flat footed and out of position too much. His only real strength is pass rushing but at 230 lbs, he has to be sure he doesn't get caught up by a T or else that's it. He's doesn't have a very large assortment of pass rush moves either. I could see a team falling in love with him during the combines just because he looks the part but I'd be shocked if he's taken in the top 15.

Mariota is the only QB in this draft worthy of a high pick but some of those teams at the top will be desperate enough for a high profile player like Jameis.

I haven't started to look at draft too much yet, but my initial wish list from just watching the season is Shawn Oakman or Shaq Thompson. If not them then the corner from Michigan State, Waynes.
