After a few days of voting and a total of 109 votes, we now have the next five draft prospects for our Saints 2016 NFL Draft Big Board. Below are players 11 through 15, as chosen by Saints fans in the Canal Street Chronicles community, and their vote totals.
Breakdown of votes for each ranking interval. |

Player Name | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | Total |
Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky | 17 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 10 | 163 |
Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor | 11 | 13 | 6 | 4 | 6 | 139 |
Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech | 9 | 11 | 8 | 6 | 6 | 131 |
AShawn Robinson, DT, Alabama | 10 | 9 | 5 | 11 | 5 | 128 |
Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson | 13 | 2 | 6 | 4 | 11 | 110 |
After peppering in a few offensive players in spots 5 through 10, we're clearly back on the defense wagon with all five players playing on the defensive side of the ball, and four of them being defensive linemen. I am kind of surprised to see Noah Spence make it to the 11th overall spot on our Big Board, considering his off-field issues. I guess Saints fans don't give a crap about that kind of stuff. Also surprising is Andrew Billings and Vernon Butler both being ranked higher than A'Shawn Robinson, who has regularly been mocked to the Saints for the past two months with their 12th overall pick.
We'll begin voting for prospects 16-20 very shortly so stay tuned.
