#MockOne Draft Results |
| Draft grades courtesy of Matt Miller | Follow @nfldraftscout |
| Ronnell Lewis projects best as a 3-4 outside linebacker, making his selection by the 4-3 Saints a bit of a question mark. Bobbie Massie in the third is smart, as the team should be adding help at tackle. No wide receiver was drafted to replace Robert Meachem, which is surprising. With Drew Brees not signing his franchise tender, and Chase Daniel as the backup, drafting a quarterback once they started falling would have been smart. | Grade: D- |
| Pick | Overall | Choice | Notes | |
| 2.27 | 59 | Ronnell Lewis, DE from Oklahoma | Excellent versatility. Will be used perfectly by Spagnuolo. Saints probably won't have this pick anyway. BountyGate | |
| 3.27 | 90 | Bobby Massie, OT from Ole Miss | Right Tackle is being manned right now by an average-to-below average starter and an injury-prone young player. Massie has Pro-Bowl potential. | |
| 4.27 | 122 | Terrell Manning, OLB from North Carolina St. | BPA at a position that needs depth | |
| 5.27 | 154 | Donnie Fletcher, CB from Boston College | Physical corner has upside in Spagnuolo's defense. Also CB needs quality depth | |
| 6.09 | 168 | Hebron Fangupu, DT from B.Y.U. | Big body who can play the nose next to Sedrick Ellis and rotate in with Shaun Rogers or Aubrayo Franklin, or both. Has tremendous upside. Transferred to BYU from USC. | |
| 7.27 | 217 | Tyler Nielsen, OLB from Iowa | Great value. Can be used inside or out. Adds depth and athleticism to an area of need. |

| 6.09 | NFL: from Dolphins for RB Bush |
| Miami → New Orleans (PD). Miami traded an undisclosed selection to New Orleans for running back Reggie Bush and an undisclosed selection. |
