you dont follow the draft much, do you?

I do, in fact. Obviously not as much as you because I didn't put together my own personal mock. It's a lot of work and for that I give you a tiny golf clap for your efforts. But I, much like most of the replies, just don't care for some of your selections. And by some, I mean all.

I don't understand hate for this mock.

I'm warming up to Conley at #11. I'm beginning to think if Saints want Conley or Tre White, we're going to have to get them before #32.

By that I mean, CBs will be available at 32/42 and the draft is deep in that next tier IMO, but I like Conley/White in maybe a 2a tier over King/Awuzie/etc in a 2b tier. It comes down to how the Saints have the CBs scouted.

I'd love Harris at #32 if we go CB at #11. Harris is on top of that very deep tier group IMO. Those two picks address two huge needs with two day 1 contributors IMO.

But, because of the hit-miss nature of that draft, I wouldn't stop there. I'd go DE/CB at #42 and/or #76 also with possible step-outs. A guy like TE Evans is intriguing or if there's a surprise major dropper hovering around #42. Jarrod Davis is another guy that intrigues me that could be avail at #42. I think there will be better options than Wormley at 42.

I like Woods and I've mocked Taylor to Saints multiple times messing around. I think with the 6th and 7th pick you could really go any direction so it's really just if you're trying to grab a high potential project or ST contributor/role player.

Who you talmbout

Reddick is gonna be a good player. Really hope the Saints have interest and pull the trigger.

I've been back and forth on Barnett, but I think there's a very good chance he'll be gone by our pick anyway.

Reddick would likely start off in sub packages in both a pass rush and cover role. Over time it'll resolve itself where he fits best but I see him playing mostly standing.

i cant see him being used like Vic Beasley.

The guy he really reminds me of is Jamie Collins. I think he could be a 4-6 sack guy per year with good ball skills & turnover potential.

I agree. The Conley news really solidifies Reddick for me.

Reddick doesn't preclude selecting a DE with another pick. Barnett/Taco would make another DE unlikely. Reddick and adding a DE at 32/42 could nab 2 good rush threat starters.
