First year under Payton, we drafted Evans and Strief. Second year, Alleman and Bushrod. Not to mention, you already have a young, all pro in Brown. Seems to me, we could pick up a decent backup OT after June 1st cutdown or trades. To WASTE a #10 pick on an OT when we have one of the worst defense/ secondaries in the league would be just plain ridiculous.

Come on Missile, I said the pick wouldn't be popular (and in my opinion is highly unlikely), but if you really think about it the pick makes a lot of sense. For one we drafted Alleman and Bushrod as projects, while if we drafted Clady or any OT at #10 it would be with the intention to come right in and be plugged into the starting lineup. A future pro bowler perhaps (a lot better than picking up a "decent backup OT after June 1st cutdowns or trades). I'm also pretty positive that Drew Brees likes seeing that the FO is investing money in a solid OL. And lets face it no matter who we draft on Defense our team still lives and dies with Drew Brees.

I agree with you about the poor defense/secondary play. I was as pissed off as any of you. But I feel that CB/LB is a deep position in this years draft and good players can be found in the later rounds. None of these CBs that are being mentioned are sure things by any means.

Oh by the way, I picked Rivers in the SportsNation poll, so chill out, I apparently would draft a defensive player too.
