The new orleans saints select....

We're beginning to realize that getting a shot at Dorsey will cost too much.

Ellis however should be there at 5-6-7. And he's the only guy I see worth trading up for.

Moving up will be to high ($$$) and Dorsey and/or Ellis will be gone by that time so it’s best we do stand pat at 10 and take Rivers and if Rivers is gone the highest rated CB.

As for the 2nd round pick I’d trade for either Shockey or Lito and with a player if need be. What the hell I throw in Jason David, Jason Craft, Bullocks and whatever linebacker they want except for Fujita and Vilma.

The talent pool in round one this year is vastly over rated. Can you read the signs? No diving in the pool. U will hit bottom.

while i think that most of the players in the 1st round are C+ to B grade players.....i think that the corner position has the highest unseen potential....i believe that the corners in the first round wouldnt sway to low from the B grade....it may be worth the risk

It is simple take the BPA according to your board and hope it fills an area on need. depth is the key. Once you have it then you can wheel deal.

I will be perfectly happy getting McKelvin at #10. And trade 2nd pick for Shockey or Sheppard though both are going to cost and Im not a big Shockey fan, attitude-wise. He requires to much attention and doesnt deserve that much.

I think with all the off season shuffle in D we've made, the team is improved substantially on the Defense.

I still think we could pick up a strong RB in the 1st round and get some O line help as insurance in the later rounds and I feel really, really good about our prospects boys.

But just like Christmas, I'll be happy with whatever we get.

I wish camp would start May 1!!!

Ellis doesn't even impress me as a top 10 pick; Lito's injuries dampen my enthusiasm for that trade...

I've warmed up to the idea of moving up to 4 or 5, with the Chiefs most likely, to getting Dorsey...

The deal with Shockey (Turley's Heir Apparent) should involve no more than a 3 this year and a 6 progressive to a 4 next year...

We've not had continuity at the Safety position and I feel Randall Gay may be moved to Safety before the end of Training Camp...

RB should be a bigger concern than it is; Deuce will not be the runner he's been and it's time we go through the steps and get through Denial and move towards the next guy...
