FO Blew a Great Opportunity. (My Opinion Only)

realheavyd · 04-24-2010, 01:31 AM

Be patient y'all. They are taking BPA and their 3 picks so far have been the #34 (Brown), #37 (Robinson) and #64 (Graham) overall rated players in this draft class per NFLDraftScout. They could not believe these players were still on the board when they went to pick tonight and had to take them.

It's only a matter of time before they address the most apparent "need" left on defense at the DT (NT) position. There are still 3 picks left for the Saints tomorrow, as well as the potential for trades involving Jammal Brown and perhaps even Lance Moore to add even more picks to the equation and then undrafted free agency after the draft ends. Not to mention the next round of free agency after teams release all their extras to make room for draft picks.

There is no real "need" at OLB with the youth of Casillas (undrafted), Dunbar (undrafted) and Arnoux (last year's draft pick at LB) waiting in the wings to replace the hole left by Fujita.

They just signed Alex Brown and Jimmy Wilkerson to replace Grant, so there is absolutely no "need" right now at end.

Some of y'all really need to get a grip and relax a little bit! There is still plenty of time to address shoring up the defense in the proper way without calling for heads to roll in the front office or anything like that...

Geez!

Go ahead and judge me by how little I post in here. I don't care. I probably know more about football than you will ever pretend to know anyway. Just because I don't have 13,889 posts, doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. Think about it...

I think the FO and GW must be a lot higher on the young LBs we have than what we think. It might be the case where its not wieved as a need but as a strenght. Casillas is very promising and Arnoux might be the better LB drafted from that school last year.

We "need" a DT but the guys we have aren't scrubs. We just need depth and youth.

Relax and enjoy getting to know the latest Saints. Last year people didn't understand why we did not address the RB position. Some people questioned whether we had done enough to address the DB's with the addition of what they saw as a career backup (Greer) and a old guy who had lost a step (Sharper).

Ironically, they would also have the opportunity to question Payton's decisions on the rest/play question after we earned a bye and HFA.
