here's what scares me.........
 

we have an offensive minded coach, period........

come draft day, if we stay at 10, there will be many wide recievers to choose from, and probably the 2nd best offensive tackle, not to mention many rb's...............

are the walls just closing in on me, or would these be bad choices?
i can just hear the commish, with the 10th selection in the draft, the saints chose a wide reciever from tim buck two.................smitty

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

I think any offensive pick besides an offensive tackle would be a bad pick for us at #10. Tackle is one of those positions where you can just never have enough talent. I think if we took a tackle, although I'd be upset that we weren't addressing defense, would be something that you couldn't really argue with. (especially if it was a true LT that could send Brown back to RT where he belongs).

Brian Billick was an offensive minded coach... just thought I'd point that out.

We'll take the best player there at 10... and it shouldn't be a offensive player.

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

I don't see any legit top ten WRs on the board, thank God. I wouldn't be opposed to Clady, though. There are some very good RBs at the top end of the draft, too. I wouldn't be surprised to see us take one of them, either.

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

I think if it's offense at all it will be Ryan Clady, OT, Boston College. I don't think we'll need a wide receiver with Lance coming on last year and Meachem coming in, that's why they let Henderson go and the fact that he can't catch.

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

Not to pick nits, but it's Boise State, not BC.

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

Clady will go to the chiefs i think

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

It all depends on who's available when we draft. The FO is going to take the who they see to be the BPA...you can take that to the bank (see also Meachum, Robert). Who knows about Bushrod, Stinch is okay and Streif is a serviceable back-up, but you build teams around the OL.

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

Well for one we still have issues with our O line. Brees is damn good at what he does and hides the fact our line isn't that great to carry us to the SB. I don't have a problem going Oline.

What scares me even more than drafting a WR is look at the RB's. I am more worried about drafting a RB!!!

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

I still think the saints want Keith Rivers but thats just me. I dont think there is a CB or a WR worth a top 10 pick. It would tough to manage, but i wish there was some way the Saints could move down in the draft.

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

i do expect us to draft a WR, but im guessing in the 2nd round.. the draft is pretty deep with #2 wideouts this year.. no real superstars but some starting talent..

while i am an LSU fan, it has no bearing that i would like to see us pick up early doucet, his stock has been down lately but the guy always makes the first guy miss and is still learing to play WR but he has boatloads of talent and catches everything.. plus he is a beast at running those slip screens that payton likes to run

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

If we draft a RB, you know Deuce is gone. I want Deuce and Reggie in the backfield this year.....with PT subing. I wouldn't mind a OT, but I hope we go Defense.

Re: here's what scares me.........
 

OL nah not at ten. trade down maybe. day 2
OG/OC in 2 possible other than that day 2
WR or TE round 3, slot receiver type fast, quick and a solid blocker
LB/DT at 10 if not trade down and then you Have DE, LB, CB, OT
Maybe a QB/RB as early as the third.
