NFL Mock Draft Saints find next Jimmy Gr

We're coming down the home stretch, but still far enough out from the actual draft that it remains unclear exactly what teams picking in the top half of the proceedings have planned. That said, and with all the nece sary caveats, it appears that the Browns will take pa s rusher with the first overall pick. After that, however, all bets are off. More NFL Draft The Jaguars have been linked to a bruising running back while the Titans bolster their secondary with a player who has made a late push of draft boards. Meanwhile, the Jets, Bills and Cardinals take quarterbacks, while the Browns use their second first-rounder to beef up an understaffed receivers corps. In the second half of the first round, the Titans land a play-maker for , the Bucs give Jameis Winston some help, the Lions take an FCS phenom that impre sed at the Senior Bowl and NFL combine, and with the pick the Saints got from the for , New Orleans gives Drew Brees another play-maker, one who could end up being one of the best players to come out of this cla s. 1. Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M: While it's unclear who wants what among coaches and the front office, it's hard to imagine the Browns taking a quarterback first overall. So instead of forcing the Tanner Fritz Jersey i sue, they grab the freakishly athletic Garrett, who would immediately upgrade Cleveland's pa s rush, which ranked 21st last season. 2. , DE, : Yes, there is a glaring hole at the quarterback position but the 49ers defense was god-awful last season, 28th against the pa s and 31st against the run. Solomon, who has been compared to , is a low-risk pick because A) of his upside; and B) he's not a quarterback who would arrive in San Francisco with unreasonable expectations. 3. , S, : Silver lining to being terrible on both sides of the ball: Bryan Trottier Jersey It's hard to go wrong with whoever you select. And Adams, who might be the safest pick in the draft, can play in the box or deep centerfield. 4. , RB, LSU: We had Fournette falling out of the first round , and before that, we had him going to the at No. 8. And while we don't think it makes sense to take a running back so early, the word on the street is that the Jags really like Fournette and he could be a legit option with the No. 4 pick. Remember, the picked Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall last year and he was a huge part of one of the NFL's most high-powered offenses. 5. (from Los Angeles Rams) , CB, :He played in the same secondary with and , started every game the past two seasons and replaced another first-rounder, , who was drafted by the last year. At 6-feet and 195 pounds, Conley has been compared to , which would make him a valuable a set in a Dick LeBeau defense.6. , QB, : Casey Cizikas Men Jersey Never let it be said that the Jets shy away from using high-round picks on quarterbacks. They took in the second round in 2013 and that was an unmitigated disaster. They used another second-round pick on last year and it would surprise no one if they drafted another quarterback in 2017. Watson is the most NFL-ready of the bunch and if the Jets can be patient, Watson could be worth the gamble. 7. Los Angeles Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State: The Chargers had a top-10 defense a season ago, and Hooker will make them better. He'll complement 2016 first-rounder , who was a terror to block when he finally ended his holdout. Bosa should be even better in '17, which means more opportunities for the secondary -- and Hooker -- to capitalize on turnovers. 8. Carolina Panthers , DL, : Allen slips outside the top five after a pedestrian combine, and there are also the multiple shoulder surgeries that could drop him out of the top 10. Still, Allen was unblockable at times at Alabama and had 28.5 sacks as a three-year starter. In Carolina, he would join a group that includes , and . 9. , WR, Clemson:The Bengals drafted last year, but it wasn't enough to overcome the lo s of and , who had great 2016 seasons in Atlanta and Detroit. Williams isn't a burner, but he would immediately improve a pa sing offense that already includes , and Boyd.10. , QB, North Carolina: The Bills will have for the 2017 season but first-year coach Sean McDermott's long-term vision might include building the team around his guys, a conversation that always starts with the franchise quarterback. The Bills mi sed on in 2013 but the only thing that Trubisky and Manuel have in common is they they both played in the ACC. Trubisky won't be ready in 2017, but if the Bills can be patient, Chris Wagner Men Jersey he could pay dividends in 2018 and beyond. 11. Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State:Here's all you need to know: 30th, 32nd, 31st -- that's where the Saints' defense has finished the past three years. So it stands to reason that they continue to add defensive play-makers early in the draft, which is why they would likely sprint to the podium to turn in Lattimore's name. He's easily a top-five talent, but hamstring injuries could see him slip into the middle of the first round. 12. Cleveland Browns (from Philadelphia) , TE, Alabama: The Browns have needs up and down the roster but Howard is the best tight end in a strong cla s, and he gives this offense a big-play weapon in the middle of the field. Bonus: He's a tenacious run blocker. Howard will pair nicely with , but there's still a glaring hole at the quarterback position.13. , QB, : The Cardinals could addre s life in a post-Carson Palmer world a year or two before it actually happens. Interestingly, coach Bruce Arians said recently that he's "bugged" by Trubisky playing just one season and thinks only one quarterback is ready to play right away. . 14. (from Minnesota) , WR, : and were offseason additions, but Ro s would bring a dynamism to the Eagles offense that currently doesn't exist. hasn't lived up Simon Holmstrom Women Jersey to his first-round pedigree, and struggled with consistency a year ago. Put another way: Not only would Ro s make life easier for the rest of the wide receiving corps, would have one more weapon at his disposal.15. , LB, : The Colts added pa s rushers and in free agency, and Reddick would bring speed to the inside linebacker position on early downs, and move outside in pa sing situations. A former walk-on who showed up at Temple weighing 185 pounds, Reddick blazed a 4.52 40 at the combine and that, coupled with a dominant 2016 season (9.5 sacks, 22.5 tackles for lo s), has NFL teams taking notice.16. , DE, : is still a pa s-rushing force but Barnett could replace on th
