Not against trading down, but just saying...

I agree I just feel like we would be able to get just as good of a player at 35-40 as we could at 27 and pick up a extra pick or 2. I think we should take advantage of those Qb starving teams that possible will pass on qb in round 1. Maybe I shouldn't have used the words of Value

Dallas is the team that will take him in the first round

And maybe in 2015 they'll go for the hat-trick.

It should be telling that Payton/Loomis didn't geaux out and sign a free agent at center and are quietly going about seeing Lelito transition on the interior...

I'd love to grab a Weston Richburg, but we've got needs with prospects with higher grades to meet our needs at Linebacker and Wide Receiver and as deep as this draft appears to be, we can afford a later round pick or even a UDFA rookie to do a comparable job...

Back to marquise...i could live with the pick based on '12 tape but id still prefer other wr's or to wait til the 2nd. Has some solid talent tho...

I have been a big SC fan for years and have seen a lot of Lee & Martin. Lee has major talent, but he is a bit soft. I got tired of him limping off every third play. He reminds me a lot of Harvin.

I'd really like to see us just trade back and get another second and third. BPA is always nice, but this year we are going to have 2 draft picks on the field quite a bit.

I am also not sold on Lee but I think if he's there we take him and he could probably shine catching balls from Brees.

Dear Lord please grant me one wish. If you do I will be go forth and spread the word about your Saints with even more passion than I already do. Please give me a strong, smart center with a nasty attitude. Amen.
