Re: 2010 NFL Draft

I'm still amazed that the Saints were willing to trade up to get a punter last year and were not willing to do the same with glaring needs at Defensive Tackle, Defensive End, and Linebacker...

I see the picks as good, hell, great value picks...

but I mean, did Loomis and the scouting staff take the entire offseason to pat themselves on the back and not prepare the trading scenarios to move up and get some help for the pass rush and run stoppers that are needed?!?

Are we to be a one hit wonder?

The talking heads on ESPN are calling out the Saints saying we have to validate our championship as if they knew what they were saying?!?

We have to protect this house!

ARRRGHHHH!!!! I hope this wasn't another Usama Young Andy Alleman Draft Playoff Hangover Draft!!!!

And would somebody please take the trophy away from Tom Benson and the Zurich Classic and let his grand daughter parade around with it instead!!!

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

So in reviewing the Saints draft there really were two ways to look at it. The Saints have the most competent front office the in the history of the team. Mickey Loomis and crew know what they are doing, they follow their rankings, and never draft for need instead of talent.

The second way to look at the Saints draft is what would have been the reaction from me, fans and experts to the picks if the Saints hadn’t won the Super Bowl?
That second question in the Bizarro universe would be very interesting...

The rich get richer, as the Saints got an absolute steal with USC offensive tackle Charles Brown(notes) at the bottom of the second round. Medical red flags dropped him, but Brown is a legitimate left tackle prospect and gives the team some interesting post-Jammal Brown(notes) options. In the first round, New Orleans added to the defensive backfield with Florida cornerback Patrick Robinson(notes), an athletic but inconsistent player who will undergo the Gregg Williams Crash Course. The pick of Miami tight end Jimmy Graham(notes) in the third round was panned by some, as he was primarily a basketball player for the ‘Canes, but nobody plots offensive mismatches better than Sean Payton, and Graham is a ridiculous athlete. However, LSU defensive tackle Al Woods(notes) may be as important a pick as any for the Saints, given their weakness against the run in three-man fronts. Woods is an underrated big guy who can help in a rotation.
Rounds one through three are what count; they have to contribute immediately, even on a winning team...

Analysis: The Saints were expected by most to bolster their defense, but after taking CB Malcolm Jenkins in the first-round last season, the defending champs' selection of another corner was a mild surprise. The selection of Brown was not a "need" pick either, but could be a good one for the defending champs down the road. Brown was projected as a first-rounder by many. Graham will join another former Hurricanes tight end, Jeremy Shockey, on the New Orleans roster. Graham must work on his blocking to get on the field. The fourth-round pick, Woods, has talent but needs to be coached up to stick at DT. Tennant was rated by some as one of the top two centers in this draft, and could be the team's long-term answer at the center position. Canfield's best shot to remain a Saint will be on the practice squad.

Bottom Line: Defending champs didn't have a great deal of crying needs, but it was surprising that they didn't add much depth to the defensive front seven.
Guess we'll see...

Re: 2010 NFL Draft

Curious that Peter King said that upon review of the Saints draft that they addressed a big need at cornerback...

I know he's not very popular as he comes off as a pompous gas bag; but, if this young man gets his helmet on straight, the Saints have a cornerback corps as good as any in the league...

And the Safeties should be, with logic prevailing, Sharper, Jenkins, Harper, Vaughn, Reiss at the very least...not too shabby

Now if we only had a defensive line...

We've got to have more starters; the Brown and Wilkerson signings were fortunate, but we need another big tackle...
