I would love this guy at our 3rd round pick. With the LB's we've got and signed so far, we'd be set for years at that spot.

I think with Lofton, Chamberlain and now Hawthorne we're pretty much set at linebacker. Defensive Tackle and and cornerback are pretty thin at the moment. I know we have Tom Johnson, Mitch King, etc. at DT but Ellis only has one more year left on his rookie contract I think so we have to beef up the pass-rushing DT spot.

What am I missing here when some seem to think Kendricks makes it past the early 2nd round?

Will we get any of our draft picks back with the appeal?

Does Payton geaux to New York to fall on his sword and ask Herr Goodell not to punish Benson and his poor loyal Saints consumers?

I'd love to see the Saints select Derek Wolfe DT/DE out of Cincinati in the 5th if he's there. Reminds me of Bryan Young (high motor) and played DE, DT and NT while in college

FinSaint

Yeah, I agree, he has been my favorite for the DT pick from the start of the mock drafts - a DT/DE hybrid who has great upper body strength and ability, but he needs to work on his lower body if he is to become successful in the NFL.

Getting him in the 5th would be great, but I'd settle for getting him in the 4th - he might even be gone off the board as early as when the Saints pick in the 3rd round, depending on how he has been evaluated by teams with DT needs.

Derek Wolfe, great call Ragin; but he's not lasting to the fifth...

jeanpierre

Wonder if Rodge might at least give us our draft picks back?

jeanpierre

Guess we're not getting our draft pick for this year back?!?

...maybe we should continue to trade away our round 1 picks in case we've other pending action waiting for us?!?

This is who I'm liking...

I really, really like this kid. That said, so do alot of other people. This guy's not making it to the 4th round, much less the 5th. If he's the guy we want, we're going to have to use our 3rd rounder to get him (if he's there at that time).
