I recently spent an evening studying up on Bruce Irvin for the SaintsReport mock draft. I am running the Patriots again this season and was anxiously awaiting pick 62 and Shea McClellin. The Texans snatched McClellin right in front of me, so I was forced to drop down my draft board for my...

I selected Chris Prosinski with the final pick in this draft giving me a late round "Gem" at FS which will allow BB to trade away Merriwether for a first rounder next year. My final draft class for the Patriots did not feature as much value as I expected, but that is perhaps some of my own...

Tracking draft prospects with a data-base or spread sheet is not ground breaking, but the way they are doing it and the amount of information readily available at your fingertips is. I know for the past few years, I have kept my own excel spreadsheet with about 400 players on it using a...

Word floating around the NFC South is that Carolina thinks Newton is the answer to their QB woes and is preparing to select him #1 overall. I don't see it, but being a Saints fan, I guess I am happy to see him twice a year. 28 more days and we will know for sure.

As an SEC fan, I will give my quick opinion on Justin Houston. He is quite fast and would appear to be an ideal rush LB, but the problem with Houston is upstairs. He does not have the diagnostic skills needed to play full-time. He is easily fooled by play-action and has to use his athleticism...

I am still on track to grab Brandon Fusco with the 4th rounder unless B-More grabs him. I have Indy's pick ready to go and it is a SS, so I just have to worry about B-More. I know BB would never draft as many "small school" O-Lineman as I am, but I love me some small school sleepers. It is...

As much help as ya'll have given me with my Saints Report Mock, I certainly owe ya'll one. Just let me know if you make it down to Louisiana and I will fire up a pit of some sort and cook some meat or if you prefer, I make a pretty fine pot of Gumbo as well or if they are in season we can boil...

Down South we like to cook for events and the Draft is definitely an event! For the Prime-Time First Round, I will cook Rib-Eyes. I am always looking for an excuse to "Practice" as my other hobby is competitive cooking and the World Championship Steak Cook-Off is May 21st. I was 10th...

Possible late round gem at safety is Chris Prosinski from Wyoming. He was the best player on a bad Wyoming team, but he is not afraid to tackle and has been quite productive. The knock on him is that he was not "athletic" enough to transfer to the NFL, but his recent Pro-Day results indicate...

Jalil improved his 40-time during his Pro-Day to a 4.46 and backed it up with another 4.46. Another name that has come up while researching late round DBs is Chris Prosinski. Any word on him around Pats land? He has been a very productive Safety for Wyoming and busted off some crazy good...

I took Vareen with my last pick and am up again once Atlanta makes another selection. I tried to add in a link to the draft, but I need 50 posts before I can add links. A quick Google for Saints Report Experts Draft should get you there though, or could just go to Saintsreport dot com and go...

My trade deal fell through. The guy was targeting Vareen, but when he went to the Bills board, they talked about how bad he sucked, so the guy rescinded his offer. I laughed and told him about how highly the folks on the Pats board considered Vareen. I guess that is the benefit of researching...

Saints poll will likely come down to a run-off between Tyler Sash, Shane Vareen, and Chris Carter. I have an offer to trade back from #87 and pick up two 4th rounders #99 and #121.

Thank you EVER so much! For those unfamiliar, we run an "Experts" Mock over on Saints Report each year with board members researching and serving as the GMs for the team. We are restricted to only trading current year draft picks, no players or future picks. This works out great for me...

Since this thread got bumped back up to the top, I thought I would provide a quick update on how my stint as Patriots GM over on Saints Report is going. I wish I was able to create my own thread for discussion of my picks, but alas, I am a rookie here with less than 30 posts. If someone would...

Reeds stock is definitely on the rise. I do not see him available at 33, I think if the Pats want him, they need to use 28 and he may not even be available then either. I look at all of Reeds "negatives" and most of them are from a 4-3 DE stand-point. His work-ethic and athleticism will...

I have read an awful lot on this board trying to get that pulse and make sure I make educated picks. The three picks right before me were Castonzo, Aldon Smith, and Carimi making my decision much easier. Muhammed Wilkerson, welcome to the New England Patriots. Now I need to regroup and see...

Yeah sorry, Tyron Smith was the OT taken when I traded out of #17. I had taken Tyron Smith off my board for Injury issues and because he has only ever played RT and not sure if he would be able to play both sides. I worry about Aldon Smith being able to translate into the Pats system and...

I am playing the role of the Patriots GM in a mock over on Saintsreport. Watt, Jordan, Solder, and Smith all went just prior to pick #17 so I traded back from 17 to 22 to pick up another 3rd rounder and swap of 2nds. Aldon Smith is on my short list of prospects for 22 and wanted to get some...

I liken Ryan Mallet to Jamarcus Russell and Cam Newton to Vince Young. Once Mallet gets paid, it is likely back to the nose candy and he has never been known for his work ethic or pocket presence. Cam has all the talent, but lacks the intelligence to run an NFL offense. The Auburn decision...
