3 of the top 44 picks: so who do we take?
Posted on 3/10/15 at 9:23 pm
Posted on 3/10/15 at 9:23 pm
1.13
1.31
2.12
Jimmy's gone, there is nothing we can do. How are we getting better? Let's hear it.
Honestly, I think we are poised to trade back in the draft. Maybe move back into the 20's, pick up a mid round pick in this year or next years draft. But let's pretend we stick with what we have.
1.13- Schreff is my pick if there. But I dont think he will be. Shane Ray has been slipping, and may be our best value overall at this spot.
1.31- Losing Graham, and with Colston on his last legs, it's important we add another big target for Brees. Dorial Beckham-Green looks like a Mike Evans clone, and would fit nicely in our offense. Jalen Strong also in contention here.
1.44- AJ Cann, G from South Carolina. Need to beef up the interior for the future, as Evans and Grubbs are aging and potential casualties

I want DGB but with Payton's wanting a good locker room I don't think he will draft a guy with character issues

I wouldn't hate getting these players
Although i think Schreff is going to move to G. that seem sot be what i hear. IDK.
So idk about drafting 2 guards in the first 44 players.

I'd like to trade down with that second 1st round pick.
Posted on 3/10/15 at 9:27 pm to Lester Earl
I really hope Schreff falls to us

So you're labia swelling has subsided?

I'm worried about the value of that 13th spot and who will be there, which is why I'd like to trade back and possibly acquire a third or maybe even a second round pick along with it. If we do sit there I look at Schreff, Beasley, Collins, Ray as possibilities.
As far as the 31st spot I'd be fine more than fine with a Beckham-Green.
I think they will address the CB2 role via free agency, at least I believe so. It would make the most sense considering corner back is extremely hard to predict. McKinney is another option at 31.

13. Brandon Scherff - the 2015 version of Zach Martin. Solid player that can play both inside and out, strong hands, good feet, high IQ, and crazy motor. He is the definition of a mauler in the run game. He loves to hit people, so the screen game makes him a viable lead blocker. Transitioning to a run game with him and unger in the middle will open up holes and create a clean pocket for Brees to drop a 40yard bomb easily.
31. Maxx Williams - 6'4 TE, 250lbs TE.
Decent sized TE that isn't getting much love, but tape and scouts rave about him. He's a willing blocker, but needs to put on a little bit more weight. Pretty fast (4.78s 40) and good body control and movement (4.37s shuttle). Can high point the ball and is solid route runner. Most people say his ceiling is a Jason Witten, others see him as a Jeremy Shockey. No Jimmy Graham? Here's a viable fix. He doesn't have to come in and dominate in the passing game as Stills/Cooks should take a leap, Toon should improve, and Colston should still be as productive. Transitioning to a heavy run game makes him a smart pick if other picks are a stretch.
44. Benardrick McKinney 6'4 246lbs ILB
With Lofton gone and the Saints looking to want to get better coverage and speed in the LB group, we come at McKinney. A guy with good size, speed (4.66s 40, 4.27s shuttle), and athleticism (40.5in vert), he has the skills to become a playmaker at the ILB position. Very smart and high IQ player, tends to have a nose for the ball, can blitz, and is pretty good in coverage to keep up with TE's.
Solid college career: 3 years
243 tackles (19.5 for loss)
7.5 sacks
8 PD
1 FF

I agree with your picks 1000% as they are quality players that fill glaring needs. I'd like to see how the rest of free agency plays out for us cause I think the Saints will look to fill some holes still.

1. Brandon Scherff G Iowa
1. Marcus Peters CB Washington
2. Cedric Ogbuehi T Texas A&M
An OL of Armstead, Scherff, Unger, Ogbuehi and Strief makes me feel A LOT better going into 2015. On defense, Marcus Peters is growing on me and growing on me fast. I love his attitude, I love the way he plays and it seems the birth of his son really humbled him.

You think they go BPA or target need?

After years of neglecting LB in the first two rounds of the draft (never drafted one higher than third under Payton; none in the first since Mills in 1995; we were looking at Mosley and Shazier last year), I see two of the first three picks being LB. Thompson and McKinney. Likely a guard with one of the first three.
I was only half joking when I said I wouldn't mind them drafting five LBs and two OL. With Unger we can make it six and one.

I'm okay with these picks.
Posted on 3/10/15 at 10:22 pm to Lester Earl
Would be happy with Scherff, Kendricks, then Maxx Williams.
Posted on 3/10/15 at 10:59 pm to Lester Earl
1) best pass rusher ... Ray, Gregory..
1a) McKinney ILB MSU
2) Erving OL. FSU
Assuming we sign Williams or Browner as a starting CB

I don't see us targeting a TE that early. Maybe O'leary in the 3rd
Posted on 3/11/15 at 1:11 am to Lester Earl
I was talking to a buddy about getting L.Collins at 13. We could play him at G immediately, considering we get rid of either Grubbs/Evans, and groom him to be a future tackle if we want to. He can play either position in the NFL.
And I think we need a LB/DT/NT with the other 2 picks.

I think we've got to go OT, CB, and a pass rusher with those first three picks
Posted on 3/11/15 at 10:49 pm to Lester Earl
1. 13: Scherff, Beasley, or Waynes. If you actually watch Shane Ray's gameplay he's really not that good. He's a one dimensional pass rusher who lacks the size to be a DE and doesnt have the horizontal speed to stop the run or short pass. I'd be very upset if we take him.
1. 31: Benadrick McKinney, Erick Kendricks, Stephone Anthony, Green-Beckham
2. 12: PJ Williams, Kevin Johnson or another physical corner
I think we take a solid Oline man in the 3rd round.

1) Depends on who we pick up in F.A.
2) No fricking SJ-B prospects in the 1st 2 rounds. Everybody they take 13, 31, and 44 better goddamn be ready to start. frick whoever was responsible for Jean-Baptiste last year. We don't have time for that bullshite.
