Danny Watkins is not available.
Who?
Reserves linebacker, basically somebody on the borderline ... whose career is over now.
Saints signed him for a year but he never got healthy enough to play. Seems like thats a trend with him. Perhaps its tied to this suspension trying to get him on the field.
Yeah he was gonna be my pick for the mock but his character issues are something the Saints DONT need and I think a lot of teams will agree. Its a huge shame because he has a lot of talent. why do these players make such stupid decisions?
I remember them talking to him during the season with some of the injuries mounting. But with that his chances of ever making the roster are history.
He honestly never had a chance to make your roster.
Saints were desperate for linebacker help and he couldnt crack the roster.
words out of my mouf lmao
I would love for the Saints to get Gregory. But then again it isn't my ass on the line if he is the next Gordon, and football culture is pretty conservative when it comes to daring picks.
Edit. Maybe he falls to 31 in this mock!
lol yeah if hes still there at 31 maybe.
But I think for that pick go with a WR maybe?
Im not too familiar with this draft.
You probably know more than me. WR is a need, but Saints have a lot of needs.

Waiting for Chiefs pick to be official.
With the 18th pick in the 2015 NFL GAF mock draft the Kansas City Chiefs select La'el Collins, OT, LSU
This pick was made after a long and thought out process and after Chuckddd said he would slap a bitch if the pick was not made promptly.--Official
Browns are on the clock again!

Needs the whole draft board and everything.
The 2015 NFL-GAF Mock Draft is now open for business.
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State.
Yes, there are some maturity questions with Jameis Winston and he is (probably) a rapist shit. But the simple fact of the matter is that the Bucs are absolutely desperate for a franchise QB and Winston seems to be the guy Licht and Lovie like most. Winston has a solid arm and reportedly has a football IQ that is off the charts, and was very impressive at both the combine and FSU's pro day.
He has every chance to become a great QB in this league. But the Bucs are taking a risk here by going with a guy with his baggage. However, when you need a QB as badly as the Bucs do, that baggage seems a lot more manageable.
2. Tennessee Titans - Leonard Williams, DT, USC
The Titans are confident that their young offense with Mettenberger at the helm will continue to grow with another year in the system and so will pass on the consensus second-best QB in the draft and select the best defensive player in the draft in Williams. The Titans' defense desperately needs a shake up and Williams will be a disruptive force along the defensive line which should help to improve the rest of the unit.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dante Fowler Jr, OLB/DE, Florida
I'm saying Dante Fowler for the Jags. A lot of hub-bub about that pick for them and they continue to need to address pass rush on their line. They've got their QB in Bortles. You could argue he needs weapons so a Cooper or White could go here but a premium pass rusher at #3 makes more sense for me.
4. Oakland Raiders - Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Outstanding work ethic with extremely polished route running skills for a college WR. Has the ability to make people miss after the catch. Has the ability to line up all over the field (Also been a knock on him because of Lame Kiffin's ability to get productively out of WRs). He had three years of productively in Alabama and should be able to step in and produce at a high level as a rookie.
5. Washington Redskins - Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
Mariotta to DC for the lulz (and so Gruden can help ruin another young QB) but the real pick should probably be Vic Beasley to give the Skins a potentially elite edge rusher to pair with Ryan Kerrigan and replace the departed Brian Orakpo. It's not a need pick but taking someone at a position of need (CB, WR) at this point would probably be a reach with the 5th pick.
6. New York Jets - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
The Jets select Marcus Mariota. The Jets have had a productive off-season thus far, making moves to shore up weaknesses in the secondary by bringing back Revis and Cromartie and their receiver core with their pick-up of Brandon Marshall. Their one glaring weakness remains the QB position. Geno Smith has proven that he cannot reach a level of maintainable consistency, an issue Chan Gailey is unlikely to be able to rectify. Ryan Fitzpatrick, another off-season signing for the Jets, is not a long term solution but will hopefully be able to take reps while Mariota adjusts to life at the professional level. (Shadyspace)
7. Chicago Bears - Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
With the 7th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft the Bears select WR Kevin White. Bears make the right choice by drafting BPA and not for need by reaching for Shane Ray, Dupree or Shelton. However, once again the Bears miss out by one pick yet again after Aaron Donald was picked right before them last year. Bears would have loved Mariota to sit behind Jay Cutler until Bears fans call for his head (so only a few games). White has the ability and talent to be a true #1 WR with elite speed to compliment Jeffrey after the Bears created a need trading Marshall. Bears have met with most of the first round WRs as well so I see this as a realistic choice.(minx88)
8. Atlanta Falcons - Alvin "Bud" Dupree, DE Kentucky
As a Falcons fan our immediate need is a pass rusher. I don't know much about college players but from what I've been hearing and based on who's left, I would guess we would pick either Ray or Dupree whichever one is the better rusher.
9. New York Giants - Danny Shelton, DT/NT Washington
Offensive line is a need and Brandon Sherff is who *I* want and the possibility of a tackle like La'El Collins or Andrus Peat were discussed but if Shelton is there at 9, I think Jerry Reese pounces. The Giants haven't had the ability to defend the run consistently since perhaps 2010. They hit big with Big Hank from Ohio who came on big time last year but next to him is an aging Cullen Jenkins, a second year player in Bromley who could develop and little else. They signed Kenrick Ellis to be a run stuffer but if you have the opportunity to bring in Shelton who has that high ceiling as both a run stuffer and possibly a pass rusher with development, you take it. Especially considering that Spags will constantly be rotating guys in and out of the line and showing different looks/stunts.
10. St. Louis Rams - Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
I haven't followed the draft at all this year, but I can say for the Rams, they will take that top OL if he is still available. After that, all else being equal, they would take a corner since Cooper and White are gone
11. Minnesota Vikings - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Bridgewater needs weapons and Parker is a familiar face that he can work with to add some much needed offense to Minnesota that may be in danger of losing AP at some point.
12. Cleveland Browns - Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
Alright jerks,
With the 12th pick the Browns of Cleve take Malcom Brown.
Versatile, talented, and fills a desperate need for the Browns. Helps stop the run game, and hopfully gives the Browns a dominant force along the defensive line. Plus the dudes last name is Brown.
13. New Orleans Saints - Shane Ray, OLB/DE, MIssouri
Im thinking a LB/DE.
they already have SJB who is a project.
Marcus is good but I'm pretty sure they will work on the front 7.
Shane Ray it is. I'm not sure I've seen him projected out of the top 10 in any mocks. He's available at 13 so it's a value and a need.
14. Miami Dolphins - Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
With the top 3 WR's off the board the Dolphins address a major need by taking the first CB in the draft. With his great speed, fluid movement, and solid man to man coverage skills Waynes should be able to start out of the gate opposite Brent Grimes to help shore up Miami's thin secondary.
15. San Francisco 49ers - Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Once again the 49ers find themselves losing two veteran defensive backs, it only makes sense to take Marcus Peters at this spot.Peters is big, physical, strong, and has good make up speed for a corner his size, he has long arms and can fight for the ball very well. the 49ers have shown we don't shy away from taking guys with character issues. #SingCanFixEm, I mean #BaalkeCanFixEm #WinningWithClass
16. Houston Texans - Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
With Foster's lingering soft tissue issues and the Texans ability to release him after this season with minimal cap hit they look towards the future. With no franchise QB set they will run the ball a lot and draft what most are saying is a special player. Gurley is regarded as a student of the game with great enthusiasm to play. A trait that will endear him to Bill O'Brien.
17. San Diego Chargers - Andrus Peat, OT Standford
Chargers have big holes in front 7 but they'd definitely go OT here, especially since a lot have not been picked in our mock
I'd go Peat. Better pass pro for an immobile Rivers.
18. Kansas City Chiefs - La'el Collins, OT LSU
This pick was made after a long and thought out process and after Chuckddd said he would slap a bitch if the pick was not made promptly
19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo) - BlackGhost, TheBatman, Confrontation-On the clock
20. Philadelphia Eagles - Gutshot, JABEE, Yankeehater
21. Cincinnati Bengals -
22. Pittsburgh Steelers - DeaconKnowledge
23. Detroit Lions - NihonTiger90, Kas
24. Arizona Cardinals - Squall ASF
25. Carolina Panthers - Grover Cleveland
26. Baltimore Ravens - Blarry
27. Dallas Cowboys - Farooq, cashman
28. Denver Broncos - Godslay, MetalFearSolid
29. Indianapolis Colts - Spinluck
30. Green Bay Packers - Elfforkusu
31. New Orleans Saints (from Seattle) -
32. New England Patriots - Dutch, Gata, Case
Rules:
1. You and your group should come to a consensus on who you genuinely think your team would take. Not who you want.
2. No trades.
3. Each person/group has a 4 hour limit to make their pick. If the pick is not in within that 4 hour time limit, then the remaining NFL-GAF members will make a consensus pick. If no consensus is made, I will make the pick as the person running the draft.
4. Each pick should be accompanied with a short synopsis of why the pick was made. Don't write a book. Just tell me why.
5. Your pick can be PM'd to me directly and I will add it. That can be done before your on the clock. If you don't think you'll be here. You can send me your top three choices as your time draws near. You don't have to post it in the thread if you're going to be away.
