Arnoux
 

hey guys jsut wondering since we got arnoux do oyu think we gonna draft a DL? or DE? or are we gonna get a linebacker? i mean we do wave arnoux but we have yet to see what he has to bring to the table. and if he can fit GW system.

from watching stanley arnoux at wake forest the things i picked up were, he has excellent speed to get to the edge (which we really need) and he also has great hands and made alot of picks. i think we wait to see what stanley brings to the table, i think we go for a DE.

Re: Arnoux
 

Arnoux's injury was unfortunate.

No one's job is guaranteed, regardless of draft pick.

To me our most pressing issue is DT, followed by OLB.

With only 4 picks this year in the draft, things will get interesting.

A lot weighing on the CBA.

Re: Arnoux
 

4 picks? I'm pretty sure we have 6.

Re: Arnoux
 

And you would be right.

Re: Arnoux
 

the great thing i noticed about watching highlights of aaron curry was these 2 ballhawks that were split seconds behind curry

2 beasts that made just as many plays in curry's own highlights

2 studs that could fly to the ball, make the play without being in the end result....such as getting off a block, covering the main WR or getting to the QB just before the ball gets out, etc

those 2 studs got drafted out of wake forest 2 picks away from each other and are going to play for the saints 2nd super bowl next season

chip vaugn and stanley arnoux

both are very fast, i think both of them could play safety...arnoux is a little undersized for LB but he is fast as **** and he could easily play both(not as the same time of course)

I know Arnoux is small, but Elvis Dumervil isn't very big, either. He's about an inch taller than Elvis, but is outweighed by roughly 15 pounds. I think if he beefs up a little, tacking on another 10-15 pounds, he could be a Dumervil-type player for us with that speed. He hits like a truck, too. I could see him playing havoc on QB's on the pass rush or RB's trying to run his way, not to mention that he seems to play pretty good pass coverage. I'm really anxious to see what he can do when healthy.

Re: Arnoux
 

I thought we lost two bc of the Morestead and D Thomas trades...??

Maybe rounds 1-4 and 6?

Re: Arnoux
 

We have already given those picks up for Shockey...and the picks for Vilma, too. The only team that has one of our picks this year is the Eagles in the 6th round. Here's a 7 Round mock draft that has what positions we pick this year:

The David Thomas trade was a 7th rounder in 2011. I had to look it up myself, because I thought it was this year, too.
