Are we really going to draft a DE in round 1?

Benardick McKinney is the guy who will be available when we pick... Without jumping up and if you back him up with a Denzel Perryman pick in the second... now your talking....

I want best available offensive lineman at 13 and then trade back into first round for Perryman

I think that's a mistake.

What if 5 O lineman are picked before us?

And why would we trade up for Perryman when we could grab Paul Dawson in round 2?

Address O line in FA. Keep your draft picks to add youth, speed and energy to the defense.

i just can't see DE being a bigger need that OLB, CB or o-line. Personally I think Vic Beasley would be a great pick in Rd 1

Perryman will be a stud, watch, I don't see that happening, defense is deep this draft and a team or 2 will reach or make a stupid draft pick before Saints pick.

Oline needs an upgrade too, remember Saints have a gabillion dollar HoF QB that can't complete a pass when he's on his back or running for his life

We'll draft a WR, TE, CB, CB, OT, LB.

Didnt we spend 40 million on a saftey?

Are you more comfortable with a proven commodity protecting our "gabillion" dollar investment or a rookie draft pick?

Perryman would be a nice addition. Is he the type of talent you throw 3 draft picks after?

Unless we draft a Center I doubt any offensive lineman drafted will make an impact this year. The team likes Evans, and I think if he is healthy he's a pro-bowler. Grubbs needs to be replaced but not urgently, however having even an average center between the two will dramatically improve the line. I am sure you are aware that Goodwin was among the worst centers in the league last year, some back-ups (Lelito being one of them) rated way higher.

All line spots besides Evans could/should be upgraded
