With the draft coming up, I’m going to try and mock this thing as best I can; and, based on Mel Kiper’s past predictions, I can probably do better. You’ll see his mock drafts all over the web the next few months, but be advised: One, the guy’s a terrible judge in talent and, two, he’s seldom right. We’ll see how I do, but I can’t imagine doing much worse.

-Today’s Selection: #10, New Orleans Saints

The Saints appear to be the front runners for Asante Samuel, though the Jets are suddenly creeping into the picture. If the Saints don’t get Asante, look for them to draft a corner — a cover corner, a good corner, any corner — whose name isn’t Jason David. David was smoked on a regular basis, proving that a corner who’s decent in a Cover 2 Indy scheme probably isn’t setup for success in a man system. But if they do get Samuel, I highly doubt they’ll spend a top 10 pick on another one.

That said, look for them to help the offensive line and bolster the run attack of Reggie Bush and The Deuce by drafting the big Left Tackle from Vandy, Chris Williams. Williams is a solid pass blocker, someone who can certainly protect the blind side of Drew Brees, and is also very stable in run support.
