Brian Leonard - HB/FB, 6016, 226, 4.52, Rutgers

Not an area of need that is for sure but Brain gives the saints a solid rotation in the backfield. Probably the best in the NFL. Also presents even more miss matches options for Shawn to play with.

I would pick Josh Wilson from Maryland. He has great speed, a high character guy and fills a need. It also seems like a good value pick from what I have been seeing. Daymeion Hughes would also be a good selection here. By the way I thoroughly enjoy this board.

I would take Trent Edwards - QB, 6041, 231, 4.73, Stanford. Most experts say that he is rising up the boards, and that he is expected to be an early 2nd round selection.

Turk McBride - DT/3-4 DE, 6023, 277, 4.82, Tennessee

He may need to bulk up a bit for DT but if something happens to Grant next year he would be some insurance.

thank you smitty!!!!!!!!!!!
Justin Harrell is still on the board. Very good. Nice to see some one reads through all this stuff.
You win the saints GM job.
Still I would take Leonard over Bush
But Justin gets my vote.
so far.

Justin Harrell
Turk McBride
Trent Edwards
Josh Wilson

they way it smitty you might be the tie breaking vote. monday morning the saints are of the clock.

well seem like no really is into this anymore. so who ever wants to break the tie go ahead

Harrell
 

A good DT can be hard to get

Turk McBride DT

Got to go with Harrell.

Saints - Justin Harrell - 6043, 300, 5.10, Tennessee
Harrell has outstanding size and strength for the position He is an athletic run stopper who plays low, with good balance and leverage. He shows outstanding explosiveness and agilety at the snap and can eliminate rush lanes. Fills the gaps and can clog up the LOS versus the run. Can be difficult to move once he establishes position. Can split double teams and make plays in the backfield. He can move laterally to make stops down the line as well. Long arms. Can pressure the pocket but isn’t an elite pass rusher. Despite his height, he gets good leverage and shows excellent balance. Versatile, tough and high effort guy on and off the field and is a real leader of men. Best suited to a two-gap scheme including 3-4 Defensive End.
The biggest knock on Harrell is his technique. Doesn’t always shed well. He's gotten by on pure strength, athletic ability, and drive thus far, but to be effective at the next level he'll have to better understand offensive schemes and how to use his hands. Out for season with bicep injury 09/16/06.
Justin Harrell was on his way to challenging Alan Branch for the first DT selected in the 2007 NFL Draft before a biceps injury ended his season. He's the consummate team leader and a gutty performer that he postponed his surgery for a week so that he could take the field and play against Florida.Terrific upside.
