2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

[RaginCajun83]

Reid is a 2nd rounder, if the Saints only had a second round pick damn

I think it may have to be OT in the first.
If we can't keep Brees up right and give him time in the pocket the defensive issues won't matter.
My hope is that Margus Hunt is still there in the third round.In dont see him still being there as his stick is rising and I see him having a great work out in the combines and going in the second.

Couple of others being taken according to some mocks

15. New Orleans Saints - Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State

No team played the run worse this season than the Saints. Sedrick Ellis hasn't lived up to his draft position and the depth at tackle in New Orleans is reliant on Akiem Hicks developing. Instead of hoping on Hicks, Hankins would step into a prominent position inside for the Saints. There are some effort issues with Hankins, but his talent and size would be hard to pass up at this point in the draft.

The last part worries me.
I'd rather have somebody good who comes to play and gives his all w dry down than a very good player that takes plays off.


One of the reports on CBS has Manti Te'o falling to the Saints.Dont see it myself.
I think we need DE/DT/OT more but he would be too good to pass up wouldn't he?

Thoughts on Cornellius Carradine,DE, Florida State
He tore his ACL late in the season and has dropped down the boards.Some have him dropping to the 4rd round now.Might be a good option.

Season stats (12 games): 80 tackles, 11 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, forced fumble, fumble recovery. Player ranking: Carradine is ranked No. 110 overall and is the No. 14 defensive end in CBSSports.com's latest player rankings. Up next: Carradine's season is over due to a torn ACL. - Sean Bielawski, CBSSports.com

The Saints have one of these wounded warriors in Greg Romeus. How many years can they "redshirt" players without production?

[lee909]

Depends on how bad the tear was.
It also depends in who is left on the board come the 4th round and who we have re-signed and already drafted.
I'm just throwing names out there that could be worth looking at.
If he is player we need then its worth the wait.

Would love to see us have a shot at Rambo, but I'm thinking he'll be long gone by the third

This team needs to be blown up. Too many pieces for just one pick.
