Dan Pompei on Saints CB plans

The Saints are through messing around with veteran cornerbacks who are nearing the end. They plan to draft a corner who can start for them next season. The Saints likely will choose one in the first round, then might select another on the first day because they have an extra second-round pick. Someone such as Dunta Robinson of South Carolina might look good in black and gold.

Kiper's big board take:
17. Dunta Robinson, CB, South Carolina (5-11, 188) | previous ranking: 12
An underrated SEC standout, Robinson has excellent feet and great ball skills. There aren't many wide receivers who can accelerate past Robinson on deep routes. He consistently runs the 40-yard dash in the 4.40-4.45 range. Robinson is the kind of shutdown corner who can match up against the opponent's best receiver and maintain excellent coverage the entire game. Definitely a player on the rise.

OK I'm sold. I won't complain if he's our 1st.
I will complain if 2A or 2B isn't a LB.
