My first two mocks reflect the chaotic, fluid nature of the NFL Draft season.
Both of my prospective first-round picks – Leighton Vander Esch and Harold Landry -- are now being projected as Top 20 selections and therefore likely off the board by the time the Saints select at No. 27. I’ve adjusted accordingly in Mock 3.0.
Saints head coach Sean Payton provided some insight into the team’s remaining priorities when he identified edge rusher, tight end and wide receiver as “must” positions on the offseason To Do list. The signing of veteran tight end Ben Watson does not alter that thinking, in my opinion.
