Dont yall think corner is our weakest position? P.Rod has got to go.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

I hear ya dub. But payton drafted the guy so if he can.t motivate the man he can run his ass out of town also. I believe the defensive backs coach needs to be accountable also. This diving at players and coming up with air mush be abolished

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

He and the rest of the D including linebackers do not understand Spags' zone coverage so we either need to pick up guys in the draft or free agency that do, or keep the guys that have potiential and TEACH them!

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Doubtful we have linebackers all day, Lofton, Chamberlain, Hawthorne.... DE is the weakness thats where the first rounder should go.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

NO they can't even be decent corners cause there is no pressure.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

4-3 or 3-4...

If it's a 4-3, then DL is where you start, then LB, then DB...

If it's a 3-4, then you start with the LB, then DL, then DB...

But there's no question the backfield suckedit - but how long must our CB be asked to cover receivers on each and every down because our DL are working their way up to a sack sometime next year?!?

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Why all this talk of switching to a 3-4? Spags is a 4-3 press zone coverage guy, and the players he brought in so far has played decent.

Let him get a few more pieces and see what happens this year...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

What position we draft is all gonna depend on free agency.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Just like it does every year. Loomis always shores up weaknesses with mid-level free agents. Occasionally he'll land an upper tier guy (Vilma, Shockey, Sharper etc) but mostly mid-tier guys that fit our system.

It was nearly unanimous that Marquis Johson was our best CB in preseason. He fit Spags system perfectly and there was no learning curve. And he was a medocre free-agent at best. I wonder how we'd have done if he'd stayed healthy? Greer and Robinson are not good fits for zone CB's.

My guess is that we shore up all the problem areas in free agency then draft BPA with every pick, excluding QB and RB.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Obviously a rare talent falls, you grab him...

All things being relatively equal or within two grade points - it'll come down to an Offensive Tackle or Defensive End if we stay in a 4-3 which we probably will for at least one more season...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Sheldon Richardson, Eric Fisher, Alex Okafor, Eric Reid, Xavier Rhodes...

Names to know...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Damn Danno! on the money

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Because of salary cap limitations and multiple needs on defense, I suspect we will be moving in the draft to draft players as close to their slots to feel needs...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Candidates for First Round Pick

Sheldon Richardson, DT, Mizzou
Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Mike Glennon, QB NC State
Ezekiel Ansah, DE BYU

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Pass

interesting prospect for sure

My bet to be the safest pick for the saints. Best well rounded DE in the draft

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Either way I'm confident defense will be improved... Too much prior early draft talent that can still come into their own, and we can't get any worse performance from the next round (low standard to beat!)

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

That Rambo kid seems like he has good ball skills, but can he hit?

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

It would be awesome just to have a guy named "Rambo"!! How cool is that..LOL

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

I would love to see us get rambo- minor character issues at UGA, but overall a helluva playmaker. I just think he will get snapped up before we get a chance, no way he falls to the third. Now if we get our second back...haha yeah right fat chance

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

See Previous Post, the answer looks promising...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Cody Davis

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

had to add to late round options at OT projects

David Quessenberry, OT, San Jose State
Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas-Pine Bluff
Manase Foketi OT. West Texas A&M

Cody Davis, SS, Texas Tech - special teams upgrade in the 7th for the 2013 season is cool. Can he develop as a solid backup? hmmmm maybe. Reminds of a bigger version Harper. Hits with stone hands

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Ezekiel Ansah is already moving up the boards, into the top ten in some mock drafts...

It's a copy cat league...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

I saw something interesting about moving Teo from a linebacker to a possible NFL safety..?
I'm not sure if this came up earlier in the board (nor am I suggesting the Saints should do this), but I just wanna hear some feedback on that suggestion*.
I can't decide if it's a good idea, total crap or an elaborate internet hoax intended to goad a trusting hawaiian into sexting an imaginary human...
