very true, very very true to trust in those two....for now at least.

My thoughts exactly Blacksaint.

Again....I'm OK with the pick since he did burn Chris Houston a few times in last year's game. Offense is the strenght of the Saints and additional help at WR can't hurt. In fact, this may be the BPA (Best Position Available). I wouldn't want to think about a reciever getting hurt and being thin there for the year.

Good call, if Henderson or Copper get injured, or Patton doesn't work out, the Saints have a good young receiver to put in. We may not see how important this kid is until 2008 when he has a chance to start opposite Colston.

I'm OK with the choice, as long as he can catch the ball better than the last number 1 that we chose from Tenn. It was a surprise with the 5 - 6 players I had on my board.

Glad it wasn't Chris Houston -- I think he's too small for the NFC South. Could have gotten a 300+ pounder to stuff the middle of the D-line with Branch, there were still 2 backers left in Harris and Posluszny, and a TE like Olsen could have been the answer to the Bears' cover-2. Now it looks like Olsen is gonna be a Bear himself.

Now let's work on the D with the next few rounds.

i know we talked about wide recievers probably being the bpa because of the depth this yr......deep down i believe the saints would have taken justin harrell but gb jumped on him at 16..... so, here we are..........you just have to believe this was paytons choice.......i'm happy.........

I see payton had the Cowboys surprised, jumping up to take a D player. Good move... keep our O explosive with many weapons. He has been building D via free agency. AND we aren't done yet.

LongTimeFan · 04-28-2007, 09:04 PM

The Saints could have picked him up in the 2nd or maybe even the 3rd round, I wouldn't have picked him that early, defense is where the Saints should have started the draft..
Am I really disappointed?, not really but a little surprised..
The Saints will be a power house on offense for sure, question is will the Saints defense be an improvement from last season?

i said all along i wouldnt be surprised if the saints picked a WR in the first round....
