here's what scares me.........

ssmitty · 02-29-2008, 03:28 PM

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

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

Supersaint19 · 02-29-2008, 04:19 PM

Clady will go to the chiefs i think

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!!!

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.

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
