Saints Offer J. Brown for #2 update on pg 19!!!

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I recently read an article on the teams that are doing the best actually trade down not up. That can probably be argued all day also. I think we should stay exactly where we are or trade down, not up. ...

Re: Saints Trying To Move Up To #2 or #3!!! update on p

I recently read an article on the teams that are doing the best actually trade down not up. That can probably be argued all day also. I think we should stay exactly where we are or trade down, not up. I see no advantage to selling this draft or some of next year for ONE player. Especially because Dorsey scares me in that I continue to hear he is undersized. A lot of players do well in college because lineman are smaller than they are in the nfl and because your other d line members may be that much more dominant over the other teams o-line. Dorsey may be very good in the nfl. He might not to and isn't young already undersized for a true dt. Can we afford 2? I say stay where we are and if anything move back.

Your team stinks

Dude....think of the offensive linemen that have come out of the SEC....Kevin Mawae, Alan Faneca, Chris Samuels, Marcus McNeil, and so on. Hell....there's Williams from Vanderbilt this year! This arguement does not carry weight, especially when you take into account that Dorsey was double teamed the majority of the time. They won't be able to do that to him as much in the pros. 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.

Quality is better than quantity. Amen.

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.
