re: Kiper said on 1st Take this morn, the Saints will select....wait for it....

He usually has the top 10 down. On a good year that will extend to pick 12-13

Basically, he has no fricking clue after pick 8 usually and he gets mad when teams make him look stupid

Colts not taking Dilfer
Saints not taking trufant

Admittedly I stopped watching the draft when they changed the format. frick RG for ruining the draft for hardcore draft fans

To my knowledge, the Saints have met with almost all viable options that would be available at #15: Jarvis Jones, Kenny Vaccaro, Dion Jones, Mingo, etc. I have not seen anywhere where we have met with Te'o.

And trust me- with the baggage that Te'o is carrying right now, no team is going to draft him in the first half of Round 1 without sitting down with him and getting a feel for the person and hearing his story.

Screw the baggage. His skill set alone isnt enough to get him in the top 15. The only time he played a college team with legit OL was Alabama and they ran at him all day long and he was horrible. Missing tackles, behind plays, couldnt shed blocks, etc. At least I know Minter and Ogletree can play against legit OL and play at a high level and make a difference. Te'o, not so much.

I would love to see Kipers track record after the fist 3 picks

top 4 mocker over the past 5 years

If u nail the top 10 that's 33%. shite, I think I had the 2002 draft perfect until the giants reached up and nabbed shockey. Basically, like I said. The guy will hit a few picks after the top 10, but generally he has no fricking clue after 10. Manti teo to the saints, even in the top 20, is fricking stupid. You have to understand that kiper is on some agents pay roll and gets paid to pump up prospects...like clausen.

Now if kiper hadn't been doin this shite for 15 years, I'd be more worried that he mocked teo to the saints

yeah, as annoying as he can be, I've just gotten used to him.

don't like him, don't hate him.

He was right about us picking Akiem Hicks last year.

I just don't get the hype for Te'o. I mean he played at Notre Dame but so fricking what? A lot of those picks he had were gift wrapped last year. I'm talking about tipped passes or the QB staring down his WR.

He isn't even the top ILB in this class. Ogletree is the speedster and Minter is the sure tackler.

Te'o is the guy with an imaginary girl friend.
