this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I wouldn't be shocked or upset if we see two DE's picked in our draft. I fully expect DE/DT/OLB to be addressed, and maybe two picks at one of those positions....

Sedrick Ellis was projected to be more effective in a 3-4 and Glen Dorsey in a 4-3. I usually take those things with a grain of salt. I do think he'll only be a situational pass rusher at first... taking a couple of years(if we do draft him) to get on the field full time. But... who knows how he's going to develop. As you are, I also am a big fan of the 3-4.

So, we're thinking BPA in all three rounds of either DT, DE or OLB? I could live with that. |

Casey is slower and smaller than his brother and much less athletic. He's an ILB, probably in a 3-4. Think Alfred Fincher, but a little faster. |

Strong Safety is definitely a priority...
Blitz and Glam "My One-On-One Interview with New Orleans Saints SS Roman Harper" Maybe he can go and play for the Redskins or Cowboys or Eagles... |

Casey is an inch shorter, 10lbs lighter and .10sec slower than Clay was coming out of college. My guess is that he didn't "juice" the way Clay did... Regardless, the kid makes plays, gets to the QB and chases down RB's. I could see him growing to an ideal WLB in the nfl. |

No excuses, he had a bad game, as did everyone else on defense that day. He's received more game balls from Gregg Williams than any player on defense. I'll repeat... He's received more game balls from Gregg Williams than any player on defense. He covers EXACTLY like an NFL Strong Safety, and until the playoff game was on a short list of Saints Defensive MVP. |
