Featured Discussion 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread

So far we have made solid picks . I feel all three of these players Wil come in and contribute right away . If this is true we have a successful draft.

Not to sound like a homer, but can we please draft someone from the SEC.....

I'd rather hit on 4-5 picks than miss with 10-12 picks, it's quality not quantity

Not really. We have the UDFA, free agency and our own roster, too. Don't forget that Kikaha will be joining Cam at DE this coming season.

Homer.

We still have not added any speed to our slow defense....we need speed in our front seven and I promise our secondary will look better.

And for those who think Ireland is pulling the strings....i think he's Payton's puppet right now.

Of course Payton is pulling the trigger. But Ireland is doing a better job of loading the gun than our past scouting team.

Nevermind. I like the pick. I like Von Bell too.

I am feeling for Drew. pass on a plug and start OT in round 1. Slide peat to LG
Now no picks till the 5th if the saints even think about OL.
