I think that is the focus of Gregg Williams' scheme and that makes this pick make sense.

I knew this pick would be love/hate no matter who we took. All fans have different thoughts on the biggest need. I think the Saints found a pretty raw and athletic guy who they think they can turn into a solid tool for the secondary. We really were exposed last year when Porter and Greer went down. And I fully agree this is already the best and deepest secondary in the history of the team. It is much easier to find linebackers who can attack the passer and stop the run now. A great secondary can offset linebackers who are liabilities in coverage and can be allowed to focus forward only.

I am more than okay with the selection. Had we taken a WR or TE I'd be much upset.

If Kindle turns out to be what he should... We got duped!!!!!:doh:

But if the guy has character issues we probably wouldn't draft him in round 7, much less take a chance on him in rounds 1 or 2. That's just my .02

Ok, we've gone CB and now OT, there had better be a trade in the works for a DT. I understand this kid at CB might have an upside in the future, but you don't use first round picks on upside. That's for the third, and down rounds. If your drafted you have an upside, LOL. We haven't addressed need yet. Most of you are talking about good coverage, so the pick makes sense. Part of me agrees with you, but what about the huge ass runs our D line gave up last year. I hope our new CB can tackle RB's after they've burst of 8-10 yards per play. If we have the lead the formula works, but if we get behind other teams are gonna kill us with the run. So, I hope something is going on at the FO to get us a trade for a quality DT.

im worried about you because you didnt win anything...you didnt pick better than me and you didnt offer any constructive comments in these picks.....all you did was say you hate everything i say

you wanna call me a baby....go ahead, thats your right......just remember how it makes you look

once again......you'll grow up eventually.....everybody does

Agreed. Good cover corners are not easy to find. You can teach a guy zone coverage, but you can't teach how to shut down a receiver in man to man. This allows us to shift Jenkins to Safety, gives us some amazing depth, and fits the defensive scheme perfectly. I don't see the issue.

We can get a run stuffer later. A good run stuffer doesn't HAVE to be a high round pick. I know Canton is a big believer in the silly concept that if you aren't a top round pick you can't be good, but you aren't going to find shutdown corners on the street like PT23 (Whom, according to Canton, can't handle the role of starting RB because he wasn't drafted.)





Um, you lost me there. I still think Meatchump was a wasted pick. Greg Olsen was still out there. Sidney Rice... Zach Miller... LaMarr Woodley... Meatchump bad.





It doesn't take long, and no... It's more than the avatar.





How? It's as easy as breathing and thinking rationally. And, FYI Strato, Special Olympiads get awards too.
