2010 NFL Draft

jeanpierre · 02-09-2010, 01:07 PM

No, let's celebrate a few more weeks before we get started (though we need to get Hagen up in the BullPen)...

But my point is that if you start reading some of the early mock drafts, the Saints are picking No. 31 instead of No. 32; definitely a Dewey Defeats Truman moment!!

I've been reading that and guess they just haven't done an updated draft since Sunday night!

My early thought is an interior defensive lineman or outside linebacker. More though as we get further away from our championship win!

They should leave us at #31 as punishment for assuming the Colts would win

DT is a must. OLB and DE could be upgraded. We have a couple of players coming back from IR who could improve our depth on the defense. If we found a center I would be happy, although we don't necessarily need it as much.

Depth on both lines.

Upgrade OLB.

Depth at CB.

I know it's not part of the draft per se, but what about signing Julius Peppers as a DE replacement/upgrade? We've lost players to other division teams over the years, would Peppers be worth pursuing?

Peppers is not that much of a upgrade. He will pull in bank this year and put us in a huge deth problem. I say start McCray and let Hargrove play both de and dt.

I haven't seen numbers on his deal, I just know he's coming available. I'd rather have him with us then have to play against him twice.
