I remember that Mike Mayock said that it was a good pick during the draft, even though most scout reports had projected him as a 7th round pick if not an UDFA.

Yep, I wasn't crazy about the pick since most of the scouting sites I frequent had him rated much lower. Obviously the jury is still out but so far it looks like another gem of a pick.

The defensive injuries are a concern in my humble (at best) opinion

I think we have upgraded at LB as long as Lofton and Hawthorne can get healthy soon. I was a huge fan of the Hawthorne signing, that guy really looked like the best player on Seattle's defense the last few years.

CB still worries me... we are one injury away from being in critical condition... and with Jabari's injury history, this is not a good place to be.

How so? We look 4 deep with solid CB's.

I just don't consider our CB depth "solid". Difference of opinion at this point. Hope they prove me wrong but the guys after Greer/Robinson haven't proven anything yet.

Robinson and White looked exposed out there. We really need to get Jabari Greer back ASAP.

And now it appears we may lose Johnny Patrick for a significant amount of time.

@JohnnyPatrick32
Pray for the loss today fans... Please pray that MRI is negative tomorrow... Love y'all.... @Saints

I hope we bring Marquis Johnson back. Not sure about the new rules. I think we have to wait 6 weeks.
