We seem to be drafting a bit "cocky" as if we do not need any help since we are the Super Bowl Champions. We have drafted 3 players that are backups. Robinson is a nickel at best. Brown is our 4th OT and Graham is our 3rd TE at best. Both Brown and Graham are developmental type players who need work and Robinson is a boom or bust guy with consistency issues. It is almost as if we forgot that we need more pressure on the QB and need to stop the run.

I definitely don't think we were drafting cocky. From the way I see it, they went BPA with the top players on their board. It's not like we over drafted any of these guys where we picked. It was clear last year when either Greer or Porter went down, our secondary struggled to replace their production. Robinson who is considered a shutdown type corner, is insurance. The snaps Jenkins got a corner last year did not look good... maybe as many have said throughout the season, he is a better fit at safety. Should Sharper not return, we kill two birds with one stone.

As for Brown, he was projected to go as early as late first and we were able to land him at the end of the second round. That's tremendous value. Remember Jammal Brown has yet to sign his 1 year tender so we have no idea what's going to happen with him. Others have pointed out that there are also a couple guys that are on 1 year deals. Drew Brees is the most important piece to this team... you could never blame the Saints for drafting lineman to make sure Brees stays on his feet.

As far as Graham is concerned, well... sure we all think there were better picks out there but at the end of the day, we don't know jack squat. We have an outstanding job the past couple of years of getting very good production out of our mid round picks. I'm sure Payton incompany did a lot of homework on this guy and felt he was the best player for us at the pick. A key to maintaining our offensive production is to not let the league catch up with us. Adding Graham gives opposing defenses even more to think about... as if they didn't have enough to worry about already.

Now moving along to not improving our pass rush and not addressing our LB situation, we have. Alex Brown, who still has gas left in the tank, will be here for the next two years. The draft isn't over yet and like I said before, we do a great job of evaluating talent... we should be able to find some more help tomorrow at end. Also remember we have two guys that were out last year coming back... one who is a LB. Our staff are also high on what Casillas and Dunbar can do.

I would say, we have an excellent nickel now. Better than Jenkins or Gay in man to man coverage. Brown will be a starter sooner rather than later. He is better than every OT on our roster except Stinch and Brown. This Graham kid is a freak and will be a stud in time. I like the picks. Plus we have three more picks left. Keep the faith.

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.

Both Dunbar and Arnoux are middle linebackers. Neither have the tools to play outside.
