2015 NOLA Saints Mock Draft - Who do you have?

[RaginDave]

He played last year at Louisville...tallied 223 monster yards.

Not true, he had 481 yards on 110 carries, missed 5 of there 13 games. He had 2 games of over 100 yards rushing for Louisville. Averaged 4.4 yards per carry and had 5 TD's.

Granted it was not 1000 yards at Louisville, but if he would have played all 13 games he would have easily rushed for close to 800. I do believe if he would have seen the field at stAte, he would have easily rushed for over 1000, hell he was on pace to do it at Louisville against much tougher competition. One of the games he missed was vs Murray State.

here is where I am pulling the information from:

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...1/michael-dyer

He had 223 yards his Junior Year at Louisville, he only played in 7 games that year.

If I were Loomis I would try to trade the 13th pick and a 3rd round pick to move up and get Amari Cooper. Then draft and OL at 31, Petty at 44 and address the defense after that.

Cajun4life, I disagree with trading up in this draft. The Saints are not 1 or 2 players away from being a super bowl contender and the 2015 draft is deep through the first four rounds. I'm all for the New England Patriots model of adding extra picks to leverage against several bust in your draft picks. I would either trade down from the 13th if my first three on the board are not there when I draft or trade out of the first with the 31st pick and grab more picks. Here is my draft scenario, trading the 31st pick for a 2nd round and 4th round picks.

First Round
13) Shane Ray (Missouri)
31) Trade to the Jets for pick 5 (2nd Round #37) and 5th (4th Round #104)

Second Round
#37) OL Cameron Irving (Florida State)
#44) ILB Stephon Johnson (Clemson)

Third Round
#75) TE Clive Walford (Miami)
#78) CB Steve Nelson (Oregon State)

Fourth Round
#104) WR Trae McBride (William & Mary)
#136) DL Lynden Trail (Norfolk State)- Trade 5th (#148) 6th (#187) to Baltimore

Fifth Round
#154) OL Sean Hickey (Syracuse)

Sixth Round
None

Seventh Round
#230) QB Bryan Bennett (Southeastern Louisiana)

My reasons for each pick
13) Shane Ray – I think both Ray and Dupree will still be on the board, either is fine here
31st) Why not trade this pick? Slide back in the 2nd and pick up another pick in the 4th ...lots of value there
37) Irving can play center, guard or tackle (Great value and back up to injury risk Max Unger) Starting Guard
#44) Either Johnson, Perryman or Kendricks would be good here. (I like Johnson) If they believe in Humber, why trade for Ellobee?
#75) Wolford has time to grow behind Watson and Hill, very athletic
#78) Nelson doesn't have to start this year, provides depth and future
#104) McBride provides good size and speed- Greg Jennings addition will help develop
#136) Trail provides a DL that can play the 7 Tech in the 3-4, has time to develop
#154) Hickey comes in to work behind Stief for the future, plays mean like him
#230) This late you have nothing to lose with Bennett here, position needs another young QB

[CoolCajun123]

Here is Mine
Round 1 #13 – Vic Beasley Clemson OLB(Wishing he falls lol) or Bud Dupree LB Kentucky
Round 1 #31 – Denzel Perryman, ILB, Miami
Round 2 # 44 – Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma
Round 3 # 75 – Devin Funchess, TE, Michigan
Round 3 # 78 – Cedric Ogbuehi, OT, Texas A&M
Round 5 #148 – Lynden Trail, DE/DT, Norfolk State
Round 5 # 154 – Trade to Jets for Geno Smith can sit & learn from Drew
Round 6 # 187 – Trent Brown, OT, Florida
Round 7 # 230 - Leon Orr, DT, Florida

Trade for Geno Smith?? Hell no, i dont want that garbage!

I think Shane Ray in a one trick pony. All he can do is rush the passer. jury still out on him.

Stefan Johnson from Clemson maybe the best inside linebacker for us in the draft

None of them are finished products at this stage, Dupree, Beasley, Gregory or Ray. All of them have questions , but also up field quickness. The most complete DL is Williams and the Saints are getting him.

I know this much, blind faith, fan boy, whatever you want to call me.....I am 100% confident Drew Brees does not make that throw at the end of the Super Bowl.

Speaking of overrated system QBs, HELLOOOOOOO Russel Wilson

Brees throws plenty of interceptions. And Throwing on the 1 is peak Sean Payton. Brees throws that pick...and many others.

If Bryce Petty is not drafted by NO. The one sleeper draft prospect that the Saints take a look at him in the 6,7 round or even rookie FA QB Rakeem Cato 6'0 188 from Marshall University finish is Sr with 3903yrds 40tds 13 int, & a career of 14079yrds 131tds 44int while rushing for 839 15tds

Cato is pretty good.

[Geaux]

Cato.....
Too light to fight
Too thin to win
Not enough arse to last.

Basically he's not big enough.

Yea, you right. That fella that's QBing the Saints now is just a bit smaller than him. And not as athletic.

Great college QB for the spread out of the Pistol. He simply doesn't throw the ball well enough for the pro game.
