LOL @ WOODS avatar. It looks like Pennington is going to make out with his teammate! LMAO

What's going to be funny is that Payton will say, "We're happy with our draft and we got the players that we were targeting". I say bull****!

Our division is a run happy one. Common sense says that we need to be able to stop the run. No DT= treadmarks on our defense.

Yeah but we do have six tight ends now and that = ...... um ....... I don't know what that equals. I need to start drinking.

No, we don't have 6 TE's. There are two on the current roster (Tory Humphrey and Tyler Lorenzen) besides Shockey and Thomas. Dinkins, Campbell, and Miller are all free agents who are likely not going to be re-signed. I would take this project with tremendous upside over Lorenzen and Humphrey. He fills a need.

Still, we have two or three or four. Our offense was not bad last year, just number 1 in the NFL. Our needs are all on defense. I say linebacker, other people say tackle, whatever. You will hear this a lot .... "you know you're a Saints fan when you have the ball and a 21 point lead at the two minute warning and you're praying for one more first down". That's true because our defense has some holes in it. And we pick an offensive lineman and a tight end with our 2nd and 3rd??!! I'm confused. (which I admit is nothing unusual)

I agree that there were bigger needs. Not so sure about linebacker, because it seems like they are going to stay in-house to replace Fujita. (I still want to see what Stanley Arnoux can do). Probably the biggest need is DT, and that wasn't addressed, but the off-season isn't over yet, either. The draft isn't the end of the world if we don't get those players. We didn't draft two of the players I was looking at in the 3rd round (one because the Jags took him, and the other is still available). However, I do see the reasoning behind each pick. Robinson because of injury concerns from last season, Brown because the status of Jammal Brown is up in the air, and Graham because of the tremendous upside and physical ability this kid has in an area that could be upgraded. I think a lot of us are just disappointed because the Saints didn't draft, not only what we thought were needs, but highly recognizable names. I guess that is what we can expect with drafting last every round.
