Super draft so far by Loomis and Ireland. Can't wait to see what they bring home with the next five picks.

I have to agree. All picks have been at positions of need.

So come clean, who tied Loomis up in the back room. No way he's gone through 3 rounds and not traded up

It takes two to tango. Probably couldn't find a dance partner that was willing to move down.

But, I think they got exactly who they had targeted right where they sat so far.

The Saints need to bring in some vets (cap casualties) later this summer at the skill positions. You can't expect to "hit" on another Shaheed.

If you want to play with the big boys (playoffs) in late January, you need more ammo at WR & TE.

I guess this sort of sums up my feeling about our first two pics. And again I stress that I know I could be easily wrong and I hope that I am. But I look at the guys that have been the biggest contributors to the Saints defensive line over the last few years (Cam Jordan excluded), and it seems mostly they were not drafted high. T-rex, Tuttle, Onyemata, Roach and players signed from other teams have outshown the Turners and Davenport that have been first or second round picks.

That’s my drunk rant. I am not against the players themselves. I hope and believe they will succeed. I’m good with the Breese pick. Maybe the Davenport/Turner experience is making me doubt our 2nd pick. Either way I’m hoping that these guys excel, Washington sucks as a TE, and I will be eating Crow gumbo come playoff time this winter.

Agree and some OL backup couldn't hurt
