Kiper 3-Round "A-Grade" Draft (Insider article)

New Orleans Saints
Top needs: OLB, WR, G, CB
Round 1 (13) OLB Randy Gregory, Nebraska
Round 1 (31) WR Phillip Dorsett, Miami (FL)
Round 2 (44) G Tre Jackson, Florida St.
Round 3 (75) CB Senquez Golson, Ole Miss
Round 3 (78) OT Daryl Williams, Oklahoma
Analysis: Gregory might not find New Orleans entertaining, but I'm not drafting him to be a restaurant critic. In his rookie year, I want to cut him loose situationally as a pass-rusher and help us in an area in which we took a step backward last season. Gregory carries some risk because of off-field issues (he failed a test for marijuana at the NFL combine), but as a talent it's hard to do much better at a position of need at No. 13. I'm going to bet my coaching staff can make it work because I just don't see another pass-rusher worth taking right there. Dorsett adds big-time explosiveness in the passing game, a unit that is down Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills. He'll get compared to Brandin Cooks (not a bad thing), but he's even more explosive as a field-stretcher. We have a clear need at guard, and Jackson is fair value in Round 2. I like Golson in Round 3 as a player who can come in and provide immediate help in the slot. He is fearless and will make plays on the ball. In Williams we're getting a tackle who could either stay there (likelier on the right side) or be moved inside to guard. Plenty of needs addressed here.
Edit: There is a link in the first sentence of the article to a twitter post Randy Gregory had calling NOLA "boring"...just fyi..

Drafting an undersized deep threat in the 1st to offset the loss of a 6'7" go up and get it TE sounds brilliant. I'd like a WR, but not Dorsett. 78th pick is a complete waste. Switch Dorsett with one of the ILB's and take a big bodied WR or pass catching TE at 78 and I'd be thrilled with this draft.

A guy who played at Nebraska said that?

I guess we're set at ILB then.

looks legit because he doesn't have us picking a ILB.

Senqueze Golson is going to be a great player in the NFL. People worry about a player's strength, his size, and his speed, but what matters the most is a player's instincts and how he plays the game. Golson just knows how to play. he has a knack for finding himself in the right place, at the right time. That's why he had 10 Ints last year. The guy just has what it takes and I think he can definitely be a pro bowler one day. If we got him in the third round I would be elated. Still reppin my boy Delvin Breaux though as the third CB. He will taker Browner's job after this season.

I am so tired of small, speedy guys. We need a big body outside man who can start drawing double teams and opening things up on the outside. If we go Dorsett at 31, I'll be so upset.

Jesus, do they want an entire WR corps of small guys or something? Do not want.
