Thoughts on Strait at 18

Cadillac · 03-30-2004, 05:42 PM

A lot of mock drafts have us taking Will Poole at 18, and I definitely would rather have Strait than Poole. So I wouldn\'t be upset if we took Strait at 18.

That said, I am a gambling man, and if theres a chance we could trade down and still take him, I\'d want the Saints to try that.

I like Strait personally. rAge won\'t be happy unless you\'re saying the name Vilma, so disregard his disapproval.

As long as it is a cb or lb, I\'m generally happy. Anything else and I might pull something throwing my remote.

You\'re right, I won\'t be happy if we pass on Vilma.

This is like going back to the 96 draft and taking Walt Harris instead of Ray Lewis. While none of the corners may suck as bad as he did, you still get the point.

Personally I think Vilma will be more of a Dan Morgan type of player (undersized but great instincts) than he will be a Ray Lewis.

Well if it comes to the 18th pick and Hall, Gamble and Robinson are gone.....then trade down or take a linebacker....no need to reach for Poole or Strait. If Vilma and Williams are gone too, then we take a wide receiver.
