Over DE/DT/WLB/SLB?

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.

Are you serious?!?

Harper can't cover schiott; and he hits like a girl!

harper could use some work in coverage

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

Think B.S. (Before Sharper)

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...

We can not talk about FAs this year due to the fact that this capped year is different than most. Unless we lose a FA to another team we are not able to sign one. It is a weird rule the NFL put in place to speed up deliberations.

Some players are sure to clear waivers; and we also can talk about out current free agents...

But the draft will be the focus of this seasons upcoming new additions...

Draftcountdown.com has the Saints taking the Florida Center...

This looks like a healthy year for LB's. We could've had Cushing or Matthews. Now look at those guys.

Choupique · 02-14-2010, 06:46 PM

They are good LBs but they didn't win the super bowl.

Vilma, Fujita and Shanle are excellent LBs.

I hope we keep em!

Amen on both accounts...

I like our guys...

I wanted Matthews; I was wrong on Cushing...

Jenkins made some plays for us; still early to tell just yet which was the correct pick...

We can begin to make concrete arguments regarding the 2007 Draft, which, was the worse we've had under the current regime...

Jermon Bushrod is the only draftee of note; Pierre Thomas was an UDRFA?!?

No, one won rookie of the year and the other tallied 10 sacks...

Look, our two 30yr old LB's played well this season but we still need to add a stud LB w sideline speed and better coverage skills.

Want to argue that?

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