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.
