No Logo Needed Mock Draft: 14th Pick

Moving right along, the folks at Canal Street Chronicles have sent in their choice for the Saints' first round pick. Take a wild guess which side of the ball the team with the #1 overall offense in points scored and in yardage drafts.

With the 14th pick in the draft, the New Orleans Saints select:

Brian Cushing, OLB, USC



I can't even believe that Cushing is actually still on the board, particularly following his awesome combine performance, but alas he is. With the re-signing of Jonathan Vilma and the return of Dan Morgan, the Saints are just okay at the linebacker spot but really need some help in the secondary. Because of all the talk surrounding his possible switch to safety, Malcolm Jenkins would have to be the other consideration with this pick but because Cushing appears to be the best player available the Saints just can't pass him up. Scott Shanle, your days are numbered!
