Baker is going to play SS most likely

Williams (6’1/202) made 30 starts in three years at Utah before turning pro, amassing 11 interceptions and four forced fumbles while working primarily as a center-field, single-high free safety. PFF College also charted Williams with the highest run-stop percentage among all Division-1 safeties in 2016, and the No. 2 tackle efficiency rating. Williams proceeded to blow up the Combine with 93rd-percentile SPARQ results, including an outrageous 43 ½-inch vertical. He also aced the Wonderlic (34) and is young for a rookie, not turning 21 until September. We’re not sure why Williams didn’t generate more pre-draft buzz. He checks boxes across the board as a high-ceiling safety prospect.

I agree 100%. Dude is a playmaker and the definition of a ball hawk. Him and Lattimore are a great 1-2 punch in the defensive backfield. Also to the people clamoring for Willis...have you actually watched him? The guy has almost no bend and limited pass rushing skills. That scares the shite out of me for a EDGE as far as a smooth transition to the NFL where you can't just rely on athleticism.

Yay, lets pass on immediate playmakers on defense for an hamstring injury hobbled player!

Oh yeah let's just go for the guy with arthritis in his shoulders that clearly more than 15 teams have been scared off by. Idiot.

Are there seriously people complaining about the Lattimore pick? He's a top 5 guy in this draft period and he was gift wrapped to us. One of the better CB prospects in years. Stfu

Yeah i feel you. To be honest I've seen Jackson projected all over Day 3. And a couple of the sites I use have him in the 200s so I went with it. But you're not wrong; it wouldn't shock me at all to see him go as high as the late 3rd.

Thanks man! I'll venmo you your cut

No trades.

I'll say this has been one of the tougher years to mock. Tons of good players with a lot of volatility in who goes where.

1. Cleveand - Mitchell Trubrisky, QB UNC
2. San Francisco - Myles Garrett, EDGE Texas A&M
3. Chicago - Jamal Adams, S LSU
4. Jacksonville - Leonard Fournette, RB LSU
5. Tennessee - Marshon Lattimore, CB Ohio State
6. New York (J) - O.J. Howard, TE Alabama
7. Los Angeles (C) - Malik Hooker, S Ohio State
8. Carolina - Christian McCaffery, RB Stanford
9. Cincinnati - Solomon Thomas, DL Stanford
10. Buffalo - Corey Davis, WR Western Michigan
11. New Orleans - Jonathan Allen, DL Alabama
12. Derek Barnett, EDGE Tennessee
13. Arizona - Rueben Foster, LB Alabama
14. Philadelphia - Gareon Conley, CB Ohio State*
15. Indianapolis - Hasson Reddick, LB, Temple
16. Baltimore - Mike Williams, WR Clemson
17. Washington - Malik McDowell, DL Michigan
18. Tennessee - Evan Engram, TE Ole Miss
19. Tampa Bay - Dalvin Cook, RB Florida State
20. Denver - Garrett Bolles, OL Utah
21. Detroit - Zach Cunningham, LB Vanderbilt
22. Miami - Forrest Lamp, OL, Western Kentucky
23. New York (G) - David Njoku, TE Miami
24. Oakland - Jarrad Davis, LB Florida
25. Houston - Deshaun Watson, QB Clemson
26. Seattle - Ryan Ramczyk, OL Wisconsin
27. Kansas City - Charles Harris, EDGE Missouri
28. Dallas - Taco Charlton, EDGE Michigan
29. Green Bay - Tre White, CB LSU
30. Pittsburgh - Tyus Bowser, EDGE/LB Houston
31. Atlanta - Tak McKinnley, EDGE UCLA
32. New Orleans - Patrick Mahomes II, QB Texas Tech


42. Fabian Moreau, CB UCLA
76. Curtis Samuel, Offensive Weapon Ohio State
103. Kendall Beckwith, LB LSU
196. Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB/S(ish? Hybrid) Tennessee
229. Eddie Jackson, S Alabama (alternate Travin Dural, WR LSU)

*I understand everything going on with Conley but this was done before shite hit the fan. Regardless from what I've read/heard teams loved this guy, his character, his interviews. Never had an issue beforehand. He's such a good talent and Philly is so desperate they end up pulling the trigger. Seems like Conley's side may be right anyway especially if there's video that backs him up.

The first (and probably only) Official PurpleDrank18 Saints mock draft:

11. Derek Barnett, DE Tennessee
32. Patrick Mahomes II, QB Texas Tech
42. Jarrad Davis, LB Florida
76. Fabian Moreau, CB UCLA
103. Desmond King, S Iowa
196. Josh Malone, WR Tennessee
229. Chris Carson, RB Oklahoma St.

Nevermind

Trade Cooks/11/extra pick to TEN for 5/18

5. Adams
18. Taco
42. Mahomes
76. Moreau

Then just BPA at this point in the draft IDC, just get players you think can develop into ballers.

For some reason it feels very satisfying to be on the right end of this one...so far.

This pretty much my exact thought process. I feel Robinson and Gurley are pretty much the same player/situation at different positions. It just gives me the luxury of RB depth, and him WR (which he needs similar to me at RB).

I would say at this point the only way they have even a shot is if Lousiville wins the ACC with 1 loss or less. OU isn't looking like it's going to be the big win it was supposed to be preseason, and the rest of that schedule is dog shite.

kinda my thinking too. I'm starting to get scared with Langford because Fox clearly doesn't like him, but is forced to play him because at this point he feels there's no better option. If Carey or Howard start to show something I could see this becoming a full blown RBBC or one of the other 2 edging out the lead down the road.

Only thing that snags me on this is the pick.
