The Saints wanted Hughes..

Dunbar will never be an above average defender in the NFL. He's far too slow and got caught out of position big time last year. I've got my money on Stanley Arnoux.

As it stands right now..Arnoux is our best option site unseen....I agree Dunbar is depth at best. Just think of Hughes in that spot...Damn Colts..lol

so the Colts screwed us out of Hughes, and we screwed the Vlkes

my question is, why didn't we take the next best LB after Hughes instead of a corner?

Read the article. We had Hughes rated at that spot. Colts got him. Let's say your next rated LB is like at 50 or 60 on your board. You're not going to pick him up in the 1st round. That's reaching and you end up paying 1st round money to guy that will probably never earn it. They did it right. Just the nature of picking last and people not working to deal with you.

I see your point, but LB was not our only need. If the next LB was #50.
then I would have went with Price from UCLA.

I didn't like the Robinson pick at first, but after watching the corners come off the board in the 2nd round.....I totally understand it.

As far as why we didn't take a LB when Hughes went off the board, I'd say because there was a big drop off in LB's (talent & athleticism wise) after Hughes.
