the more important draft selection: 2nd round

rjakapeanut · 03-11-2008, 08:08 PM

I feel like we're discussing the 10th overall pick WAY too much on this board. lets move on from there guys. we'll select Rivers, DRC, McKelving, Ellis or Dorsey with this pick. possibly Mendenhall but I think most of us generally agree that pick is a long shot.

the more important thing to discuss is who will be selected with the 40th/41st (I forgot which) overall pick in this thing. it's wide open. LB, DT, CB, even offensive players are all possibilities.

I like flowers here.

i agree second round will be just as important as first round.

i say DT Dre Moore!

if they go offense they could go Fred Davis but I sure hope not!

I like dt Moore here too. Stay w/ defense in this draft. I would love to see him here

None of those guys will be available...

Pat Sims - Auburn (if we go CB at 10)
Curtis Lofton - Oklahoma (what a steal this LB would be at # 40 !!!)
Jory Nelson - K State (if we let Payton call it) ((if not we get Andre Caldwell - Florida in the third))

Is there a line on the draft? 'Cause I'm ready to lay some $$$ down.

Dustin Keller (6'2", 245, 4.599), TE from Purdue. Killed the combine, killed his pro day.

he will probably go in the late first round...

i would like to see us get the DB from AZ Cason.. that guy is a playmaker

What exactly is this guy going to do over the 6 TE we already have on staff?

TE isn't a position of need for the Saints. We resigned both or top two FA TEs.

The Saints still really need another LB, DT, and CB. Even presuming that we fill one of these positions with the #10 pick, we really need to fill another at #40.

Our defense isn't good enough to play the BPA game this draft. Maybe next year.

DT-Trevor laws-Notre Dame in the second......and I wouldnt be so sure about the 1st rd pick, I bet no one thought we would take Meachem last year.

It's funny you mention that. Not three minutes before the Saints made their pick for Meachem last year, I sent a text to a buddy of mine. It read "Who do you think? Olsen or Meacham?" He replied back with "Meachem". I said "That's what I think, too".
