What are all these "Assuming" threads about

[blackangold]

Glad to see this thread went essentially from who do you guys want us to draft to a 'how dare you doubt the Saints, they'll make the playoffs'. I love how one person starts that in a thread and then everyone else jumps in.

To play devils advocate for the OP, just as all of us would love to see the saints make the playoffs, however it is not a likely scenario. Based on this the OP wants to know who you think we take in the draft. So, to getting back on track with the original post...

We are set at LB in my opinion. Lofton is a stud MLB, Hawthorn is great playing the SAM and from what I saw in the pre-season Chamberlain is good at WILL, and if he isn't able to recover Casillas is still around. I think we go DT in the draft because we will lose Ellis ( I hope). SHELDON RICHARDSON at DT would be a good pick up or Johnathan Jenkins. Either one would be great next to Hicks and would provide a great run stopping force with the ability to collapse the pocket.
