we'll find a jewel without using a needed pick at rb. defense is a must.

But we keep forgetting about free agency. This team ALWAYS addresses weaknesses in free-agency allowing us to pick BPA on draft day.

By draft day we may already have secured an OLB and a DE and a DT.

So I like to look at the draft in terms of which players fit best, and will succeed in our system. Just about every position is an option in round one except QB/OG/OC/K/P/FB

But if we do wanna talk current needs and the draft, RB may very well be a need if Bush and PT don't return, and a player like Mark Ingram would be perfect in Payton's system. He's a stronger and faster version of PT. I'll take that all day long and then some.

BPA is BPA for me. If Blaine Gabbert fell down to 24 and we took him, I for one would not crucify our front office. Draft is supposely very deep as far as the DL is concerned, I'm certain we'll get some quality players even if we waited a round.

As long as we don't bust a Sebastian Janikowski in the first round and I'll be okay with whomever our front office chooses.

How bad is that Al Woods trade looking?

Yeah, it's not the Sullivan trade...

...but it looks, not so good...

Popular Mock Draft Round 1 Choices:

Cameron Jordan, DE Cal
Stephen Paea, DT Oregon State
Cameron Heyward, DE Ohio St
Mark Ingram, RB Alabama

Sports Illustrated:

24. New Orleans Saints -- Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama

With Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush possibly on the way out of town, they need a solid rusher to take pressure off Drew Brees. Ingram should be the first running back taken in April.

If Cam Newton geauxs to Redskins, I'm gonna LMAO...

It's easy to hate Cam Newton because he played for Auburn and with the allegations hanging over his head... but you can't deny he's very talented. I think he can be a solid pro and if Vince Young can be a top 10 pick, I don't see why Newton couldn't. I'm interested into seeing how he throws at the combine.

Paea is hurt and it looks like his draft stock is dropping because of it. Could be a second round steal for someone.
