SAFETY priority ?????

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I don't think safety is a must, but its pretty damn close. If Hooker, Adams or Peppers are there at 11, I won't complain if we pick one. They are difference makers....

Yes, he really does...

Wouldn't have a problem with Peppers but not at 11. With Byrd being gone we need a safety. I almost wish we gave byrd one more year. He was looking healthy the last few games of the season.

Re: SAFETY priority ?????

Peppers can already line up anywhere. RB's or TE's out of the backfield no problem, in the slot no problem, blitz like an animal no problem, cover a #2 or #3 WR no problem, I watched Dion Sanders ask Maylock what he didn't like about Peppers at the combine with that little smirk he has and it just reassured me of what I liked about this kid. At pick 11 I have not 1 problem with this kid. I think he could make a great SS or a good FS.

Would you be saying this if he were from another school? He didn't look all that great against the Bucks. He'll be short lived and average in the big leagues.

Re: SAFETY priority ?????

I'd much rather a DE or even a LB before Peppers.

Re: SAFETY priority ?????

I would love Peppers in the 3 Safety set. A blitzing machine that can cover with the best of them. Pick him at 11? I would not, wait till 32 and jump all over him.

Re: SAFETY priority ?????

Safety was never a priority in my mind.....but damn. We need another FS in a bad way. Byrd was a bit of a head scratcher, but the cost vs. production didn't represent good value.
