I'm not bitter I just dont think he is as great as everyone is making him out to be infact Cromartie and McKelvin will be a much better CB's and one of these two can be had at #10 although I would rather Rivers.

i agree, I also think you can throw jenkins from SFU in the mix as being better than Lito.

A two-time Pro Bowl veteran is not as good as two rookies who have yet to be drafted or play a down in the NFL.

Please name one current Saint CB who is has been selected to the Pro Bowl two times as a member of the Saints (and not as an alternate)!

True

Shepherd starts day one, any of the 3 rookies plays dime at best this year.

So be it. we toasted Litto before and will do it again. Now the Eagles can send their #2 and 19 to us for the #10. I like that better.

All I remember is him getting burned time after time he might have been a Pro Bowl caliber CB at one time but those days are over. In no way is he worth a second round he's having a hard time staying healthy the past two years I'd rather us try and get Fabian Washington. SORRY but no thanks on Lito.

Lito, right now, is better than any of the CB's in the draft...but he wont be in the long term. But who is to say which one of these guys is a cant miss player? Fabian Washington is a joke...he will not be traded for anything better than a 5th rounder. He is mediocre at best and that doesnt even bother him.
