Mock drafts show no consensus on New Orleans Saints' pick at No. 14

La Bomba · Apr 11, 2009

NFL draft mania is reaching Category 5 strength as we enter the final two weeks of hype and analysis before the big day April 25.

With that in mind, I thought it'd be a good time to survey the field to see who the experts have the Saints taking with the No. 14 pick.

There's no consensus but the most popular picks are a pair of Ohio State Buckeyes: cornerback Malcolm Jenkins and running back Chris "Beanie" Wells.

Speaking of Wells, there's been a lot of speculation recently that the Saints could take a running back at No. 14. To that end, Frank Cooney of NFLDraftScout.com breaks down the top backs, in particular Wells and Knowshon Moreno of Georgia.

Here's a look at the mock drafts from CBSSports.com's NFL coverage team. Five analysts have the Saints taking three different prospects.

Interested in who ESPN draft wizard Mel Kiper Jr. thinks the Saints will take? NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com takes a look at all of Mel's picks for the NFC South. Kiper projects a pretty formful first half of the first round.

SI.com's Don Banks is one of the shrewdest NFL analysts out there. He recently changed his pick for the Saints in his latest mock draft.

And for those of you who can't mock enough, here's NFL.com's Charles Davis' first-round projections.

In a non-draft story, The Wall Street Journal says the state of Louisiana's plan to buy the New Orleans Centre mall and Dominion Tower is the lynchpin to a long-term deal with the Saints. Warning: It'll cost you a $1.99 to subscribe and read the story, as if Rupert Murdoch needs the money.

I really hope we don't draft Beanie. I'm hoping for Malcom Jenkins and play him at FS.
