this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; The linebackers in a 4-3 are only as good as the defensive linemen that are up front; I think we underestimate how good the quality of play was this season from Shanle and Fujita... Strong Safety is the weakest link ...

Re: 2010 NFL Draft

Strong Safety is the weakest link right now (assuming Sharper stays and can play at the same level); so can Chip Vaughn step up?!? Defensive Line is still pretty weak and is a direct correlation to the up and down the field stats they are giving up... |

I think Harper is a better SS than Shanle or Fujita are OLB's, and better than Grant/McCray at DE, and a better than Ayodele/Clancy at DT. I'd say SS isn't really a weak link at all. |

however, the fact that you said he hits like a girl amazes me because even in the super bowl i was talking about harper bringing the wood i told everyone about how hard he hits and then on the first series.....POW.....addai gets plowed after a 6 yard reception by none other than harper! he is much more of a run stopping SS but hes 2nd on our team in tackles and consistantly puts up solid numbers hes not an elite SS but hes just what we need, just like shanle and fujita |

PI Calls; Harper and Jason David chasing AFTER post patterns; his instincts are awful and he doesn't consistently "bring the wood"... We need a Strong Safety and if Mays does fall, he'd be an improvement... But there are options in the draft; including last year's draft... |

SS primarily cover the TEs or the slot receivers lets look at the TEs we have to cover in our division kellen winslow jr tony gonzalez justin king we kept all of them out of the endzone.....now not all that credit goes to harper.....but seeing as how the primary job of the safety is to guard the TE i would probably give him most of the credit consistantly not bringing the wood? i disagree.....id say he is one of the surest tacklers on our team and despite not wrappin up all the time, he does deliver a blow that makes ball carriers get up a little slower i think safety could be addressed in this draft, but i dont think it would be to upgrade SS.....it would have to be to replace sharper after this season |
