My Quarantine Mock Draft 1.0

1.24. Brandon Aiyuk WR 5'11" 205 AZ St

Aiyuk is the consistent explosive-play-machine the Saints have been missing. Where he helps more than Ginn: He isn't long ball dependent, he can turn short passes into longer gains. Also tracks the deep balls well. Route running needs a little refinement, but that is fine as he looks to be WR3 early on. Huge wing span, big hands. Suffered from poor QB play.

Pro Comp: Greg Jennings, Chris Godwin


3.88 John Simpson OG 6'4" 321 Clemson

Wide shouldered, punishing run blocker who has pass protection traits that you can work with. 2 year starter at Clemson. Many Guards later in the draft lack pass pro qualities. Well accomplished HS wrestler. Love these types on the interior line. They know how to win one on one.

Pro Comps: Spencer Long, Kelechi Osemele

4.130 Markus Bailey LB 6'0" 235 Purdue

Bailey's 2019 ended with ACL surgery a few games into his season, otherwise would probably go off the board higher. Also had ACL as a FR. He's a two time team captain at Purdue, has led team in tackles as rFR and JR. All Big 10. Over the course of his career has proven to have good ball skills (6INT) & ability to get to the passer (13.5 sacks). He's not huge, but is rangy and athletic & has high football IQ.

Pro Comp: D'Qwell Jackson, Tahir Whitehead


5.169 RB DeeJay Dallas 5'11" 217 Miami

The draft room fought over Dallas vs Eno Benjamin, another pass catching-adept back, but Dallas won out because of his size and pass protection. You put on Dallas' tape and he immediately reminds you of Pierre Thomas. Kinda has that boxy upper body & longer legs. It doesn't look like he's moving fast, but everyone is going by him. When you watch him, you see a lot of things you like; he's patient, he can catch the ball, he has great contact balance, he pass protects. He plays some special teams. While he may lack explosive HR speed, he makes up for it with those other thigns. Would be a versatile weapon that could has the traits to even start some games if another back were to go down.


Pro Comps: Pierre Thomas, Joe Addai


6.203 FB/TE Josiah Deguara 6'2" 242 Cincinatti

Deguara is Cincy's all time leader in pass catches for a TE (cough Travis Kelce). Team Captain, 1st team All AAC. He has played some HBack at Cincy, and was invited to the SR Bowl as a Fullback, which is where I could see the Saints trying him after Zach Line's retirement. He pass catching traits, obviously, but needs more time as a blocker.

Pro Comps: Kyle Juszyzyk, Dan Vitale
