Yeah but the difference is Crawley and Harris were thrust into action as undrafted rookies. That's alot to ask of an undrafted rookie. While B.W. Webb has been in the league since 2013 so he should be peaking about now so as an NFL GM you kind of know what you have and what his ceiling is

With Crawley and Harris, you have two guys that still have a good bit of upside. I mean to think that they were undrafted rookies that should have been on a practice squad last year they actually did alright and in reality still have alot of upside. Who knows what kinda of jump they will make from year one to year two and from year two to year 3. They might turn out to be pretty damn good #3 Cornerbacks by year four. While Webb isn't going to grow much more. Maybe a little in the next year or two, but for the most part what you see is what you get.
So Im going to take the guys with upside to see who can win a 4th or 5th cornerback spot or 9th or 10th Defensive Back spot or a top 11 special teamer

Hopefully Lattimore can be a all pro type #1 Cornerback
But even if not if healthy (big if of course but just for 53 man paper talk) you have,at worst,(cuz of course I'm hoping Lattimore is future hall of famer)

Delvin Breaux
Marshon Lattimore
P.J. Williams
Damian Swann
Sterling Moore
Ken Crawley
De'Vante Harris

Kenny Vaccaro
Marcus Williams
Vonn Bell
Rafael Bush
Chris Banjo
Erik Harris

If healthy thats a helluva secondary

Yeah I updated my above post to say that you could have CBs or DEs that "fall" to 42 that have 1st round grades and that none of those LBs would necessarily be my picks but I do like all 4

I do hope we trade for Butler

Preferably #42 but I'd be fine with #32. Knowing ur getting a successful cornerback is a can't pass up as long as it is not the 11th pick

Besides that, Id like to take another pass rusher in the top 103

Two chances to get the biggest position of need at the biggest impact position on defense

Hopefully they hit on both and we can have great rotation and depth

Think about Travis Frederick, Zach Martin, Chandler Jones top 20, Kahlil Mack at 5th overall as kind of like wtf 1st round picks. The safety that the Falcons picked this year.

Bruce Irvin is a great example of this situation

That was a big WTF pick by Seattle at pick #15

Reddick reminds me of that
He has really grown on me. Alot

I think he can a pro bowl defender in this league for a decade

And a great chess piece to move around the defense

And most importantly, he CAN definitely RUSH the passer

Not saying he would be my pick, but I'd be fine with it for sure

I would absolutely love Cunningham at #42. Imma fan of his and I think he would be a great pick at #42. That being said, this mock has Taco Charlton being picked at #41. And if he fell one more spot to #42, I would have a hard decision to make. Because IMO nothing makes a defense better then a good pass rush. And that would give you two chances to land a good pass rusher and I like both and think both will be good pros, so you take a need position which is also probably the most important position on defense and turn it into a position of strength with a great rotation.

Imagine a DE rotation of
Cameron Jordan
Kasim Edebali
Hawaiian Kikaha
Obum Gwacham
D.J.Pettaway

With
Derek Barnett
Taco Charlton

And
Paul Kruger
Darryl Tapp
Other rookie, rookie free agents,etc.
And whoever else the Saints decide to let battle for a roster spot

D.Barnett at R.End and Taco at L.End with Cameron Jordan and Rankins/Fairley on the inside on 3rd down/obvious passing downs - Yes Please!!!

And in this mock, I like the Marcus Maye (safety from Florida) pick at #75. But in this mock they have Tre'Davious White going one pick later to Philadelphia at #76 and there is no way I pass on Tre White in the 3rd round for just about anyone.

So yes again, I would take Quincy Wilson at #32 & Tre White at #75 and turn a need position into a position of strength

Imagine a healthy
Delvin Breaux
P.J. Williams
Damian Swann
Ken Crawley

With
Quincy Wilson
&
Tre White added

Plus the Harris Boys
B.W. Webb
Kyle Wilson
Other rookie, rookie free agents,etc.
And whoever else the Saints decide to let battle for a roster spot

Should be a difficult decision keeping 5-7 out of those and should have a deep rotation with great nickel and dime backs

Again position of need to a position of strength

I would like the draft they give us now and it would be extremely hard to turn down Zach Cunningham for Taco Charlton or just about any other player

But I would love

11.) DE- Derek Barnett
32.) CB- Quincy Wilson
42.) DE- Taco Charlton
75.) CB- Tre'Davious White

Probably even more

1a. D Barnett Edge
1b. Quincy Wilson/Tre White
2. Jarrard Davis LB
3a. D Smoot Edge from Illinois
3b. Best offensive player available

Might be even a better draft here
This would be great also!!

Yeah and I think it goes by strength of schedule when there is tied records. I think the team with the easiest strength of schedule picks first. So say there are 4 teams that finished tied at 7-9 picking 11th,12th, 13th, & 14th. Then the team that finished 7-9 with the easiest strength of schedule would pick 11th in the first then go to the back of the line and pick 14th in the second round, while the team that picked 12th in the first round would then pick 11th in the second and then fall to 14th in the third round.

So the team that picked 11th in the first would pick 14th in the second round, 13th in the third round, 12thh in the fourth round, and then pick 11th again in the fifth round. And then fall back to 14th again in the sixth round and 13th in the seventh round
I think that is how it works

I hate the new format!!

I loved draft weekend!! I looked forward to draft weekend!!

The new format pisses me off
At least make the first rd on Friday night not this stupid Thursday bullshite.

F@#k Goodell!!!

Yep and it was a great play by Norman too. He went up and got the ball and make a great int to seal it. And I'll admit not a great decision to throw the corner/fade route to a little Brandin Cooks receiver, and the ball was underthrown also. If the ball would have been to the back pylon it would have been a TD but it was underthrown (somewhat). Because fact is,it was a great defensive play by Norman. And it was also about the worst throw by Luke all game. It it wasn't a bad throw. Just not a good one mixed with a great defensive play. Ao ny point is, McCown did look good and looked like he could win a few games in case of the unthinkable

"No. No one did that."

This is the thread I was thinking about it.

But again I didn't mean to put a crap thread on the board. Kind of posted quickly after I saw they benched Jones after he was struggling badly against Northern Illinois.

But yes. Yes they did do that. Read that thread
