Nicks: B...what a beast, youtube his name, with proper coaching he could be a great RT.

Kicker: F...could have picked him up in FA and drfted an OLB like Highsmith.

he would've been drafted lol. the kicker.

I love Ellis and give the pick a A+.

I think Porter is a nice pick, I would rate it a solid B because of some questions about his toughness, the ?'s about his tackling are silly, he had 80+tackles last season.

Pressley is another young beast in the middle to add PRESSURE to the opposing OB which we all know will go a long way in improving our secondary. I rate the pick a solid B.

Nicks is a beast, he is 6'5" and a house of a man, if he is coached up he could be our starting RT this season, I grade it an A.

Mehlhaff, I rate this an F, I think we could have scooped him in FA. This pick should have been an OLB or S.

Just my 2 cents....Steveo

i am very happy with this draft...
the kicker is questionable, but besides that i think the saints came away with possibly 3-5 players that could be starting by the end of the year (ellis, porter, pressley, nicks and mehlhaff)...ellis and nicks will start by the end of the year

I think Ellis will start in game one against Tampa!

Why you so high on nicks which i like and whos job do you think he takes?

If the kicker turns out to end our inconsistency since we let Carney leave, then I'll give it a B. No one was suprised that he was drafted, just that he was the first kicker off the board.

No ones jog this year. Stinch is a UFA after next year. Lets see what happens. Besides I see him doing time at OG also. Next year at the latest I think we will see the OL suffled around. Good pick
