DRAFT: Who are the top 10 prospects so far?

I guess its time to start looking...

Always looking...

Not sure the draft matters. This team has a ton of talent that is under-performing whats the point on getting more talent that will under perform?

Payton needs to stop calling plays, and Rob Ryan might need to go. Seems harsh but we are on pace to be worse than the 2012 team and we are in the "easy" part of the schedule.

Losing Vilma hurt.

NOT replacing him hurt just as bad as losing him.
We didn't do anything to replace him with another leader.... from what I can tell.

Todd Gurley....since it looks like we could be drafting in the top 5

I think we really need to grab the best LB we can in the first round... Preferably one with above average speed...

Yeah the saints will draft a fast ILB and by the time starts he will be playing outside.

The three i am watching are

A.J Johnson (ILB Tennessee)
Benardrick McKinney, MLB, Mississippi State
Ty Montgomery, WR, Stanford

6'5" 240+; I bet he could limit some of those passes across the middle as big as he is...

The key to beating us has been the same for a while now: run and run some more and don't forget to run (especially right up the middle). We need ILBs who don't get caught up in the trash or overrunning plays. Instinctive and fast. Don't care if they're "too small" if they can at least get them and tackle someone.
