Saints Select WR Nick Toon in the 4th Round of the NFL Draft

I wonder if he compares to an Eric Martin. Great hands, reliable, great routes, mediocre speed etc...

Who does he remind you guys of?

We may have 5 new starters on defense already in Bunkley, Lofton, Chamberlain, and maybe Hawthorne and Hicks.

I'm not sure where we need more defensive help, considering the young players we have ready to step up.

After watching some of his highlights, he reminds me of a bigger slightly slower Lance Moore.

Great route runner, not afraid to go across the middle and take a lick, and catches just about everything... scratch that; Moore ran a a 4.5 40 too
