Re: TE Jimmy Graham
Fujita will be replaced by Dunbar or Arnoux. One will back up the other. The fact is teams pass to play catch up on us so much that LB is not as important as DB's for us. You can't have a star at every position. I wouldn't mind seeing another DT on the roster. We have Hargrove, Big Sed, Clancy, and Ayodele. Maybe we draft Al Woods/Cam Thomas type to compete for spot.

How about Troy Evans or Marvin Mitchell? My point is we don't need a superstar at every position to have a solid d.

Re: TE Jimmy Graham
Now while Arnoux was a middle linebacker in college, Dunbar is not a middle linebacker. You might have Dunbar and Mitchell confused.

Wrong about Arnoux: COLLEGE CAREER – A three-year starter at Wake Forest, Arnoux opened 42 of 51 games for the Demon Deacons at middle linebacker and is considered by scouts versatile enough to also play on the outside in the NFL. He was extremely productive throughout his college career, annually ranking among the team leaders in tackles. He posted 245 stops, five sacks, three interceptions, four fumble recoveries and six deflected passes while at Wake Forest. Arnoux started 39 of his final 40 collegiate contests and averaged seven tackles a game as a senior. Wrong about Dunbar: NFL CAREER – The lone undrafted rookie free agent to start the season on the club’s active roster in 2008, Dunbar has proven his worth with his inspired play on special teams, where he has recorded 28 special teams tackles in two seasons. He has also started five games at strongside linebacker during his tenure with the Saints, recording 23 tackles and three passes defensed |

Arnoux: "Shorter than scouts would like and a bit round in the middle. … Lacks the instincts and quick first step preferred at the "Mike" 'backer position. … Takes a moment to recognize the action and is slow to flow toward the ball. … Lacks the straight-line speed to beat backs to the flanks and is a liability in coverage. … Lacks the lateral agility to consistently get around blockers in tight quarters, thus relying on his pop to disengage. … Needs an open lane to close when rushing the quarterback." and Dunbar: "Has good closing speed, but lacks the lateral range or blazing speed to play on the outside " |
Re: TE Jimmy Graham
Yes, some very eccentric draft choices - but then again if Payton and the Saints scouts thought like every other team and followed public consensus, we wouldn't be picking 32nd.
Let's see how we finish the draft and UFA's. I'm sure we'll swing a trade or two of some sort before the end of summer - just may not be the ones we'd expect. |

Dunbar has already played outside when Fujita went down last year. |
