Don't forget that Arnoux (cross fingers) will basically have his rookie year. That gives us some additional depth at LB. But I still completely agree here. We still need a playmaker young guy challenging the two outsiders. Eric Norwood, Sergio Kindle (my favorite), Navarro Bowman or Sean Weatherspoon would be obvious.

But I wouldn't doubt that the Saints take a DE or LT prospect first round then go LB later in the draft since it is so deep of a position. A.J. Edds, Sean Lee, Ricky Sapp, Darryl Washington and Sharpton and even Myron Rolle may project well in the later rounds.

we will be looking for a DT, DE, and LB in this draft

we havent seriously gone after a DE since will smith nearly 6 years ago.

i would venture to say we aggressively pursue a DE in this draft and a NT to go along with ellis

next biggest issue would be LB but considering we have 2 very serviceable LBs plus promising young guys like arnoux, cassillas, waters(if we bring him back), and dunbar.....i cant see us going after a linebacker as much as a DT or DE

BPA! BPA! BPA!

What about Terrence Cody? I certainly dont see him as an every down player for us, but I like Hargrove as a pass rusher on the inside. Would Cody be a good value pick knowing he would be at most a 2 down run stopping specialist in the mold of a Pat Williams who plays the run situations, but slides off the field in obvious passing downs. His size would allow him occupy multiple blockers making it harder to double team Ellis and to free up Vilma to make even more plays.

I like Dan Williams as well but he seems to be moving up in the middle of the first after his senior bowl workouts.

What about a trade for Dorsey? He does not fit the Chiefs new 3-4 defense. Not sure what it would take to get him, but I would have to imagine that he is on the trade block in KC.

Want to argue that?

This years draft is loaded w LB's. I hope we don't pass on two more stars.

An influx of young talent to develop would be great, but I dont see anyone in this year's class that will come in and supplant the starters barring Fujita doesnt leave via FA. Our current crews' smarts and savvy are too valuable to our defense. Daryl Washington is my favorite prospect of the LBs. He played inside in TCU's scheme, but I think he would be the most able to contribute immediately as well as be a player to groom as a starter in a few seasons. He would be a great special teams player, a player with good speed and coverage ability and his versatility would allow him to also contribute when Williams employs the 3-4 package. I also like Weatherspoon alot and have seen him in several mocks, but I dont know if he will drop to us after the combine as I would imagine him to be a player to put up some eye popping numbers.

According to profootballtalk.com, Glenn Dorsey could be available via trade/draft?!?

Dorsey and Ellis?!?

Remember right before the 2008 NFL draft we were going to trade up get Dorsey and trade for Shockey?!?

Crazier things have happened, you know...

According to the mock draft from this site ( http://www.draftsite.com/nfl/2010mock.htm ) the Saints 2010 NFL Draft would be:

1-032 Jared Odrick DT 6'5" 306 Penn State
2-064 Anothony McCoy TE 6'4" 252 USC
3-096 Toby Gerhart RB 6'1" 235 Stanford
4-132 Reggie Carter OLB 6'1" 226 UCLA
5-168 Philadelphia (from New Orleans)
6-207 Brandon Sharpe DE 6'3" 254 Texas Tech
7-246 Chris Marinelli OT 6'7" 305 Stanford

I'd be in the same sheer ecstasy as Farmer Fran of Waterboy fame...

That website has got to be from a Saintsfan...

The good thing about drafting Jenkins, and with Chip Vaughn waiting for his chance; we could geaux CB and slide Jenkins or draft straight for Safety (which, if Mays is there) you do right away...

SS is important and can be an impact position...see Steelers, Pittsburgh, Defense, SS, Polamalu...

Dawan Landry comes to mind...

Strong Safety is our weakest link on defense...

while i agree with this part i think its unreasonable to believe there is another troy polamalu in this draft or any other draft for that matter

guys like ed reed and troy polamalu come around once in a great while and its even more rare to have 2 talented safeties like that in the league at the same time

i like mays but many "experts" are losing faith in him. i dont know enough about him because i dont follow DBs like i should. I know hes big and fast and could definitly hit but is he also going to be a liability in pass coverage?

ive heard a lot of reports about him being the next coming of roy williams who couldnt cover to save his life but may hit harder than anybody else in the league
