If Calvin Pryor is available at 19, there should be strong consideration to select him. He can provide this defense with another identity. Grimes needs help and cannot continue to do it with no help in the secondary.
Been calling it. Saints want to jump ahead of Eagles for Cooks
Trade with Saints to jump ahead of Eagles for Brandin Cook
Saints - 1 (19)
Fins - 1 (27), 2 (58).
Fins Draft Count - 1 (27), 2 (50), 2 (58), 3 (81), 4 (116), 5 (155), 6 (190), 7 (234)
1 (27) - RT Morgan Moses, Virginia - Day 1 Starter at RT, line complete.
2 (50) - G Gabe Jackson, Miss. - Day 1 Starter at LG, line complete.
2 (53) - TE Troy Niklas, Notre Dame - Easily #2 TE and competes for #1 slot with Clay.
3 (81) - OLB Telvin Smith, Florida State - Depth move that can either push Wheeler or take over.
4 (116) - RB Charles Sims, West Virginia - D. Thomas is gone and Sims slots in at #3, wide open RB camp battle with Moreno and Miller
5 (155) - WR Brandon Coleman, Rutgers - Project big body WR, red zone threat Fins lack. 6'6 225lbs....nice.
been calling what??? a james walker trade down in a simulation
We need players to provide impact NOW.
Pryor is a great player but doubt he would start ahead of Delmas or Jones in Year 1.
Also, Bears selected Pryor at 14.
Thank You.I'm pretty sure Pryor (or Clinton-Dix) would be an instant upgrade over either of our safeties. Delmas can be decent when healthy, which is never, and Jones can be decent when he plays smart, which is never. Also, I'd bet money that Delmas misses a lot of playing time because of his knees. Delmas is gone after this year anyway.
Sorry for getting excited a prediction of mine came true, even if at a Beat Writer simulated mock? :idk:
The Fish (James Walker) just traded the pick down to the Saints (27th) - they haven't released what was given in the deal yet....I think it makes sense given who was gone....Martin and Mosley were both right before their pick....Shazier might be still in the mix....

Giving up #19 impact player for an extra 3rd rounder? NFW my friends. That's just over thinking the draft. MMoses could very well be a project. The better value would have been Shazier, or one of the DB's and taking an OL in the 2nd. Thank god this is not real.
