Saints had a private workout with Iowa CB Josh Jackson, source says.
That would be sweet if he fell to 27. A few players always fall.
I'd consider Calvin Ridley, DJ Moore, Da'Ron Payne, Taven Bryan, Leighton Vander Esch, & a few O-Lineman at 27. Really don't want a QB or TE at 27.

Lets add this guy since hes being mocked to us alot lately
Harold Landry / Edge / Boston College / 6'3" / 255LBS.
Overview
There was an inkling throughout the 2015 season that Landry was ready to break out as one of the top defensive ends in college football in his junior year; he did just that. After regularly contributing through his freshman year (11 tackles, 1.5 for loss in 13 games), the powerful end took over as the regular starter the last nine games of his sophomore year, garnering honorable mention All-ACC honors (15.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, three forced fumbles). He took the next step in 2016, finishing in the top five nationally with 22 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, and seven forced fumbles. Landry started 12 of 13 games played and received multiple All-American honors as well as first-team All-ACC notice for his play. In a bit of a surprise, Landry returned to use his quickness off the line, change of direction skills, and supreme hustle for B.C. in his senior year instead of going to the NFL. His numbers dipped a bit in 2017, as he played in just nine games due to an ankle injury. Landry still earned third-team All-ACC recognition with 38 stops, 8.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, and two pass breakups.
Analysis:
Strengths: Lacks height, but arm length makes up for it. Fluid athlete with good twitch. Flies out of the gates with no false steps. Long-strider who takes early leads on races to the edge. Uses loose hips and upper body turn to create an angular, leaning target that is hard to punch squarely. Limbo-stick edge-bender. Has flexibility to drop way under a tackle's hands and can corner with a tight turn and plus burst to the quarterback. Expected to show out at the Combine. Willing to attack the throwing arm and not just the quarterback. Creates strip sacks and batted balls with his long, active arms. Uses athletic ability to ramp up a secondary rush and scoop up scrambling quarterbacks. Rangy with plus pursuit speed against the run. Has experience standing and dropping into space. Plays with good change of direction and quick lateral movement to track down bootlegs.
Weaknesses: Burst-oriented rusher in need of a more diverse rush approach. Still learning to string moves together. Primary rush counter is a basic, inside move. Hasn't learned to tie edge burst with hand work to help soften the edge. Long tackles can be a deterrent. Upper body strength is below average. Hasn't shown consistent ability to convert his edge speed into power. Rides on blocks for too long. Lacking consistent grit at point of attack. Would rather chase and tackle than have running play come downhill at him. Can get to tackles but needs to do a better job of wrapping and finishing. Landry's effort level this year didn't seem to match his 2016 tape even before he suffered an ankle injury.
NFL Comparison: Bruce Irvin
Bottom Line: Landry lacks premium size, but his burst, stride length and ability to dip and rip around the edge give him special potential as an edge rusher. Landry lacks strength at the point of attack and may be a designated pass rusher early in his career. While he can play standing for 3-4 teams, he's at his best with his hand in the dirt as a rusher. Landry can get by as an NFL rusher with just speed and athleticism, but he has an opportunity to become a Pro Bowler if he can improve his hand usage and develop an inside counter.

Ok here is the latest from 2 of the top ranked mockers out there.
Ok first is Ben Standig which is ramked 7th over the last 5 years in accuracy
Ben Standig Mock 9.0
Then here is Forrest Longs, he is ranked 2nd over the last 5 years in accuracy
Forrest Long
Both have us taking a Tight End even though its two different tight ends.

The only non sporting, sporting event I enjoyed better than the NFL draft was the old college football signing day. Now that the early period is here, the draft is my favorite. I can’t wait for the weekend

I've done the mock draft on Fanspeak several times and was shocked at some of the talent hauls I was able to compile... but I doubt it will work out that way in the real thing. Based upon a realistic assessment of who will be available in the various rounds when the Saints pick, my dream draft would be 1st round - Lorenzo Carter; 3rd round - Tim Settle; 4th round - Malik Jefferson; 5th round - Troy Fumagalli; Parry Nickerson; 6th round - Will Clapp; Jaleel Scott; 7th round - Siran Neal.

Its not even close to reality. That page is about as realistic as all the stupid made up Russian collusion shite.

to be fair though, the real drafts never stick to the same talent going in the same spots as the "usual mocks"... there's always surprise drops and surprise takes.

True but that page will let you get 1st rounders in the 4th.

Billy Price is probably better than Wynn Ragnow and Daniels.
