Super Mario
 

Mel Kiper is saying that Mario will be our pick i do not think we need another DE. What if they are not going to play him at defensive end. Some draft experts are saying that he can move inside and play DT he has the size 6'7" and 295 pounds. If that was the plan and DT is one of our needs do you think that would be a good move.

I have a thought....with that size......and his speed....wouldn't he make a great LB instead? At 6'7 most Qb's are gonna have a hard time just looking down the field with him in their faces....and of course the guy can rush as well as cover the run. I dunno....just a thought.

Fatius, I think he might be a good fit in a 3-4 scheme as a guy who specializes in blitzing off of the corners. However, I don't think that he has the right body style for LB in a 4-3. I also don't think he has the right body style for a DT. He's not very heavy, and I think that some of the better DTs are really good because they're just over 6 feet tall and weigh over 300 pounds which makes them have a low center of gravity and allows them to really plug holes. I don't know, I really hope we don't take him. We have two very good players at DE, and although it's always good to have depth at a position, I just don't think we can take another DE with so many other holes to fill.

I really like Mario Williams as a player just not as a Saint. That would be too much money in one position, again. We got other holes to fill first. I rather see Ferguson.

why in the world does an offensive tackle have a football in his hands?????

Exactly Deuce...I mean think of the possibilities. Maybe just maybe the Saints might get him with the though of making him a linebacker or something. I saw some footage on the guy and he reminds me of a taller, bigger Rickey Jackson.

He picked up a fumble and is making his way downfield.... YEAH!!! :clap:

Tackle lined up as eligible reciever??

It would not be a bad deal for the Saints to get Mario. Charles Grant is a very decent player, but he is very streaky. Why not take Mario and deal Grant in the future? For now, it would be a very good rotation while Mario gets his feet wet. As much as I like Grant, the dude basically calls "into to work sick" on too many plays. Having Will Smith and Mario Williams bookend the DE spots could turn out to be very special for the Saints. Drafting Mario to take over for Charles Grant could be as good as Will Smith taking over for Darren Howard.

i dont understand the logic of making him a linebacker. if they want an LB it makes way more sense to just draft hawk.
