re: I wouldn’t be surprised if we trade up to #6 and then reach with the Pick.

re: What are the odds Mansoor Delane even makes it to us at #8?

Can't wait to see what he runs at the LSU pro day. If he can run under 4.5 he'd be a no-brainer for the Saints. CB is one of the positions 40 time historic correlates with success. Anything higher than 4.5 and he's not a top 10 pick.

I'd take Bailey or Reese over Downs in a heartbeat, but Bain I'm less sure about.

He basically gave up a 2nd and what we gave up for Vele.
Sorry about the stupid troll thing. But you do suck.

If Bain is available would you take him over Downs?

He’s got average size and speed

If you’re thinking of a different guy. Malachi Lawrence plays defensive end and has both the measurables and the college production. He’d be a great second rounder, but I bet he goes late first early second.

Mansoor would be a good, safe pick. Best way to describe him is solid. The temptation, however, is to shoot for the moon with Styles, Love, or Downs - all of whom play lower valued positions. Honestly, the smart thing might be drafting a WR - the cap value of the WR position has gotten ridiculous and it is a need for the Saints, even with Olave.

Decided to see who I could get if I traded for a 1st rounder next year with a bad team. 2027 is supposed to be one of the best draft classes in years. I think my 1st 4 picks contribute right away. Then some high RAS developmental prospects. Got the Titans 1st round pick in 2027, then traded back in to the 1st.

Mendoza - will be top pick
Bailey - gone by pick 5
Reese - gone by pick 5
Styles - dream pick
Delane - will probably be the pick
Love - hope the Commanders take him
Bain - dont like the short arms, but better than bad knee
Downs - knee scares me
If Styles makes it to us, I'm now less sure the Saints draft him after signing Ellis with Stutsman and Werner in the fold. Positional value may come in to play. The Saints only play 2 LB at a time.
Downs fills a more obvious need after losing Alontae, but he needs to test well at his pro day and have clean medicals. Positional value an issue here as well.
I have no idea what to think about Bain. I'll defer to the Saints eval. If Jeff Ireland finally goes away from his edge prototype, that means they think Bain is special and have plans on how to use him and I'd be all in. If they pass, I get it, he's an outlier.
After seeing the ridiculous contracts going to WR2 and WR3 caliber players the last week, I'm starting to think Carnell Tate makes more sense at 8. Especially if we 're about to pay Olave. Would be nice to have a stacked WR room for Shough the next 3-4 years without breaking the bank.

I'm reluctant to respond to another sad troll by OP (what must he be like in real life?) but the real answer has to do with the position. RB is so undervalued, it's now a bargain to overpay for top FA. We paid Travis Etienne less than Todd Gurley got 10 years ago when the cap nearly half what it is now.
It's a cheat code to pay a top RB free agent for less than you have pay a #3 WR. Compare the impact to your team! Look at the teams that have done this - off the top of my head there are the Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs. These are not dumb franchises. If you can't draft a star RB, "overpaying" for one is the smart move. It's still a bargain.

What's your preference? I like PFN except too many popup adds. Not going to pay for PFF. My favorite is still probably Mock Draft Hero which has no adds, clean interface, and like PFN lets you pick from several draft boards including PFF. Any others?

No Denzel, but looks good. Seems more action forcused than the movie.
