Basically everything our other LB's aren't.

He really is fast man, he can go sideline to sideline. Super athletic. If there's a hole for him to go through, look out. Imagine blitzing him up the middle?

I really wanted them to pick Brown, but some "experts" were saying that he was a better fit for a base 4-3 DT than 3-4 NT, but then again, NE is clearly thinking NT with him.

The back problems may have also been a concern for some teams, which made him drop past teams like the Lions.

Phillips at 44 would probably be ideal for the interior D if someone like McKinney isn't there to bolster the LB corps even further.

Still, I have a feeling SP will start addressing some of the offensive skill positions sooner rather than later.

We've needed a young, athletic linebacker FOR YEARS.

And we drafted a guy AND traded for a guy TO protect our best asset - Drew Brees.

Being a deep class of WR, I applaud our coach (who we know salivates over his toys) for NOT taking a WR early.

Man, sometimes you rant and that's okay but this post is just asinine. :doh:

Was Kenny Stills any higher rated than many of them

Take away Waller who is a sleeper and ver raw the rest all have somevery useful traits. Nobody will know until the a year or two into there career.

DGB could be the best WR in the draft,others have a mixture of hieght/speed other just Colston style match up nightmares
