The whole mock draft is behind a paywall so I don't think Chicken wants me to post it here. It's on Reddit though. He has Christian Kirk going to the Falcons one pick before us.

I doubt he makes it to #27, but I'd be cool with it if he somehow slipped.

I would be pissed to miss out on Kirk by a pick to the Falcons. Sutton is no scrub by he ain't Kirk

I don't hate it but think we could do better.

I want more of a slot / 3rd down specialist type of WR

Sutton has lined up in the slot for SMU and is a big time redzone target. I'd prefer that over some 5'10 "slot receiver"

Let’s be realistic. Kiper has no idea what Payton and Ireland will do. Not to mention these early mock drafts aren’t able to take into consideration the offseason

Kinda like Lattimore last year. The dude should’ve went in the top 5 easily. Never did i think he’d fall to 11. And sure enough we hit the jackpot. So it’s possible. I don’t expect him to be there tho. I’m thinking we’ll probably land Malik Jefferson out of Texas which i will jump for joy if it happens

Mock drafts this early are stupid.

Mock drafts in general are pointless and stupid. They’re just to give people something to talk about.

Everything I've seen on Jefferson screams bust. Almost all the analysts think he should have stayed in school

More interesting to me is having Rashaan Evans go one pick after the Saints to Pittsburgh. I'd bet the FO has a versatile playmaking linebacker over a non-Power 5 wide receiver for the first round.

Eh, it's still worth message board fodder.

I think last year around this time the mocks had us taking Solomon Thomas.

Jefferson is gonna test high at the combine, he's a really good athlete. But I've seen a lot of guys say they question his instincts. Sounds kinda familiar for a late 1st round LB for the Saints....

No Free Agency

No Combine

No one has a clue yet
