The giant Dart Board of New Orleans Saints mock draft picks
By John Hendrix
NFL Mock Drafts are becoming more prevalent as the years go by. This offseason is no different, especially with the New Orleans Saints. Some tend to get annoyed with seeing so many mock drafts. After all, it’s mostly speculative. Sure, a lot can pinpoint the needs of the team, but let’s face it, who honestly is going to get the player selections right?
Last year, I did my best to scour the internet to bring you a host of mock draft picks from all relevant parties, including local and national media. I’m back to give you that list as we draw closer to the draft, focusing specifically on the first round.
