Benchx225: 24. Vertical: 43. Arm: 34
Third down and goal line guy at pitt that can catch? sounds like Bells replacement to me. Flip him out the back field with bush in the slot and force LB coverage? hmmm interesting.

TE Dennis Pitta, BYU, 6-4, 245, 4.63,
Benchx225: 27. Vertical: 34. Arm: 32 1/4 Pitta is probably the best pass catching TE in the draft, definitely the smartest. I like the idea. Now take the Bush and Dickerson play and throw Pitta as the TE? That would have SP drooling I am sure and defenses reeling.

i watched dickerson quite a bit as i was following cincy.......dickerson my be listed as a goalline and 3rd down guy but can easily play every down. hes a big power guy but just like his 4.4 speed says, hes fast enough to break away from anyone......i like him a lot.....all the numbers are there

but i just cant see us taking a running back

Dorin Dickerson - 43 inch vertical. I know who's diving over the pile at the goal line.

Here's my mock draft for the Saints. I would like to trade down out of the first round for more picks, though.
Round 1: Brandon Graham DE Michigan
Round 2: Brandon Spikes LB Florida (moved to OLB)
Round 3: Mitch Petrus OG Ark (hopefully he could play some C)
Round 4: Ciron Black OT LSU (Stinchcomb's eventual replacement)
Round 6: Walter McFadden CB Aub

What do you guys think?

Would also like to have Everson Griffen, Terrance Cody or Cam Thomas, Pouncey, Sean Weatherspoon, or Jimmy Graham

We are not taking a RB or any other offensive player in round 1. Not happening.

stockman311 · 03-08-2010, 11:21 AM

Our offense was first in the league last year and has basically lost no one. Why on earth would we need to draft anyone on that side of the ball except maybe a backup OL in the later rounds?

Why not try to keep upgrading your weak spot? Your defense.

SO why not protect your offense by drafting players who fit?

Injuries happen and when certain players go down, we can be screwed, namely O linemen, RB, TE, QB (if Brees goes down we're screwed anyway)

Okay, specifically our biggest weak spot was the middle of our DL. That's one pick. We could lose Sharper, that's two. Outside of that we need DL depth and another OLB (if Arnoux doesn't start).

That leaves picks and UDFA's (which we seem to have the most success with).

Just don't be disappointed or surprised if we pick offense - We probably need it.

I didn't say we wouldn't take an offensive player in the draft. I just said it won't be on Day 1 or Day 2 of the 3 Day draft.

I think we could use a young backup offensive lineman and may need to draft someone who can replace Goodwin as I think he becomes a FA next year. Also, if an offensive player falls and is a steal at one of the Saints picks, I wouldnt mind them selecting a WR, TE, OL if they are a great value pick.

At #32, someone on Offense slipping that far to outvalue our need at D, AND doesn't have a character issue is extremely remote.

You mean like Carl Nicks, or Jahri Evans or Marques Colston or Pierre Thomas?

I'm not saying we will pick O in 1st round, but don't be surprised if we do. Especially if the value of the offensive player outweighs the value of the defensive player at #32.
