Hypothetical: Reuben Foster at #11 and TJ Watt at #32

Barnett at #11 and Best player available at #18.

not that he's a popular choice around here but what about Zach Cunningham?

at #11 yeah, its a tough sell I guess.

but if we acquired #32 or the Titans pick in the mid teens why not?

Guy flourished in Derek Mason's defense who runs perhaps the most complex scheme other than Saban. Cunningham is a helluva of an instinctive player.

I don't understand the obsession with Foster. Sure he is talented but he has a jacked shoulder and concussion issues that may very well be causing or at least contributing to him acting irrationally.

After all of the shite people talk about the FO and they want us to spend a high first round pick on a player that used up more than a sixty year old hooker. No thanks.

If TJ Watts' last name was Anderson, he'd be a 4th round pick. His tape is so unimpressive.

If it were me I would take the chance and take Foster and Tim Williams. Huge boom or bust potential.

foster certainly doesn't have the ceiling of a guy like garrett, but he's the type of intensity/aggression player who rarely busts, so his floor is a lot higher than a guy like garret. he gets a lot of offside calls, but that's not a terrible thing to me. it's kind of like young players in the NBA who have high turnover rates. that's often a sign that they will develop into a top player

Hard to compare the two but it's not often that middle linebackers are mocked in the top 10. It's like asking if Von Miller or Luke Kuechly is a better player. They're both upper echelon at their positions, which most scouts feel like Garrett and Foster have the potential of being in a few years

I really think he goes to Cincy at 9 unless someone just falls into their lap. I think Barnett will be there at 12 and the saint can address MLB in the second if they want to go that route. I think one of Davis, McMillan, Cunningham will still be on the board. Then again there's going to be a good corner or two left on the board at that point too, acquiring another first round pick would be clutch

Seeing the saints take Foster and Tim Williams would make for a fun draft day around here though

I think white is the least likely. Adams wouldn't totally shock me with the top end talent in this draft. All it's going to take is everyone in front valuing another position over safety or having Hooker higher on the board if one wants a safety. Still not likely he falls to 12, but more likely than White going middle of the second. I think he'll actually go in the first after his combine.

Agree about beckwith, he sort of reminds me of a poor mans Demeco Ryans. Not going to be a flashy guy but will be a solid player for a long time
