Without Tom Brady the Patriots are nothing Wes Welker was below average before Brady and Moss well we seen him with The Raiders this is like saying Jaime Martin could've guided us to the NFC Championship two years ago, Dorsey would make our Defense 100 times better therefore possibly a Superbowl visit.

Without him, they are bounced from the playoffs.
Try to think about what a DT actually does for the defense. In addition to the obvious of making tackles, they occupy blockers. If a blocker can shed a DT and get the second line of the defense, then the best LB in the league will struggle to make a play. But if you have a player than can penetrate and occupy blockers, then your LBs are free to pursue the ball. If a DT can penetrate the line, QBs no longer have a pocket to throw out of. They are forced to roll out to one side and throw on the run. This decreases accuracy, helps the corners as they do not have to cover as long, blows offensive plays as the designed routes are now blown, and take away half of the field as even the best QBs do not throw the ball across their body often. No one player can make the other 10 players around them better like an impact DT. |

Think of how much better that makes our defensive line. Now....you claim that Dorsey is undersized, right? The average offensive lineman in the NFL is 6'4" & 300 lbs. Dorsey is 6'2" & 300 lbs. How is he undersized? Maybe if you wanted a nose tackle for a 3-4 defense, he would be undersized. But...not when you play a 4-3. Sorry...I for one, say go get him. He's the best defensive player in the draft....by far. Why not? One solid DT is better than a bunch of "maybe" players. Again...quality is better than quantity. |

Re: Saints Trying To Move Up To #2 or #3!!! update on p
O ok. Sure teams like the Patriots and Cowboys have benefited from trading fown (but dont forget the impact of Free Agency on these teams), but it depends on what your team needs to step up to the next level. In som circumstances like the Patriots this year, they would probably benefit from trading back as they have no glaring needs worthy of making a pick in the top 10, so why not trade back and take some chances on some players. Acquire more picks and select several players with the hopes that 1 or 2 pan out. Or improve your depth. But for a team like the Saints, that have clearly defined needs, you have to at least consider making a play for any player anywhere in the draft that has the potential to address the weaknesses of a team.

And again, teams have benefited from trading down but IMO no more than from trading up. Bill Walsh drafted HOFers and built a dynasty by trading up in the draft. |

Re: Saints Trying To Move Up To #2 or #3!!! update on p
well lets not argue about d-line, o-line importance. To me there is no more important a position on the field. I think the game is still won and loss there. I absolutely agree that there are players that help teams reach a level that without them they would not have reached. I reserve those generally for the QB spot. I am of course speaking about players like brees, brady, and manning to name some. I think those teams are in trouble without those players.
Mind you chief the pats with moss sb record 0-1, without 3-0. My point is this, does a player like moss assist the pats, yes. Does it hurt if they lose him, yes. Does it make or break them completely, no. Saunders from indy might have a little more impact than moss, when put in perspective to their teams. Neither though destroys the teams they play for the way said players above would. I have no issue getting dorsey if we are not mortgaging our future. I think though to stay at 10 still gets you a player that can help you and if you are wrong does not destroy your team this year and next. That is what you could be risking by trying to move from 10-2 and if you are wrong. |
Your team stinks

Dorsey wouldnt be there to spell the starters.. he would be there to START.. bryan young would be the backup DT and thats where he should be... he doesnt have the ability to be a fulltime starter and its one of the reasons we are lacking in the middle... |

BRsaintsfan your last point was a good one, when speaking about how the pats have no glaring need and how that your draft strategy can adjust as a result.
