With the #14 pick in the TST Community Mock Draft, the New Orleans Saints select Vontae Davis - CB - Illinois

In my opinion this is a bit of a reach, but the Saints are in desperate need of a cornerback. I would have Malcolm Jenkins here as there is absolutely no way they pass him up, but he was taken a couple picks ahead. Davis can be a very good cornerback if he can get past his character issues. However, the Saints are so desperate for defensive backs that I think they will risk dealing with his character issues.
The Saints obviously won't go offense with this pick, but I also see DT and LB as possibilities. They could really use an outside linebacker to form a strong linebacking core next to MLB Jonathan Vilma. I see Brian Cushing, Everette Brown, and Clay Matthews as possibilities if they believe Davis is too much of a reach.
However, Davis is clearly their best option, possessing a combination of size (6'0'') and speed with a lot of physicality. If possible, I think the Saints will try and trade this pick for more picks. The Saints' offense is set and with a DT, LB, and CB, they could easily be a playoff team. They obviously realize this and could trade for additional picks and later draft one of the OLB's mentioned before. There are a few defensive options for the Saints to draft. However, because of Davis' upside, I believe the Saints will draft him with the 14th pick in the draft.
Great boom or bust pick. Balls-y.
On the clock: Houston represented by Jombari.

Time is running out...
I am a little concerned we may not make it through the whole first round before the draft.
I'm concerned
these teams won’t make it out of the draft. If they make these picks, the fans might revolt.
Jay Zygmunt, now that you have fired yourself, please have yourself hired by Seattle. Thanks.
