this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 2 rookies and a 2nd year as the starting LBs next year? How would this be worse than what we fielded at the LB position last year? I watched at least half of the games Thomas and Davis played at ...

2004 Defensive roster???
Last year was the year of the CB (and DT). But I discovered this little gem. I looked at last years draft and noticed that by the end of the 3rd round only 8 CB\'s were taken. So its possible to get a top 10 CB in the 3rd round. It\'ll be a guy like a Keith Smith or a Joey Thomas. They\'re ranked anywhere from 6th to 15th on many boards. A player like that will need a year to develop into a quality NFL corner. Because after the top two, every CB has an exploitable weakness that they must improve on. That usually takes time.

2004 Defensive roster???
But if we\'re out of the playoff race, then I\'m all for getting the youngsters as much experience as we can. However, you can temper my comments with my admission that I don\'t watch a lot of college football. I keep up with LSU, Michigan and the local teams (monroe area), but as far as the rest of the nation goes, I just don\'t pay that much attention. Therefore, I don\'t know that much about the incoming players as individuals. But I do know what position most rookies tend to play their first year... bench warming. |
