OMG I hope he's not 6'0. There will be some who question if thats tall, short, tall and short, or typical.

Thats a nice draft.
Should have the choice of at least two of Queenberry,Armstead or Faulk at that early 3rd rounder.

OL Barrett Jones looks to be starting the season out on PUP list. so he should drop a bit.

2.21 (53)DT Margus Hunt/Jonathon Hankins still not sold on either one.

That's really good news, since the Saints wouldn't need him to step in immediately and could, therefore, easily invest a lower round pick to get Jones for the future (aka 2014 to replace DLP).

Now, it would seem maybe wasteful to pick a player who's likely to land on the PUP when the Saints have limited number of picks and a number of positions to fill. But Barrett Jones is another one of those players along with Faulk who would be a higher pick in any other year with less O-line talent, and if he were in a better health condition. To me, hitting the sweet-spot between investing in the future while also addressing current needs is the way a franchise can continue to "be in the hunt" year after year.

Hunt, Amerson, and Collins would all be good 2nd round picks for the Saints, IMO.

2.21 Brandon Williams

Geathers is going to be a bust. Use the fifth round pick for a quarterback.

I can't believe that they have Mingo falling that for to the Saints if he's there get him.

Really don't want Mingo...

...he's a "tweener" and that cries "specialist" and do not want to spend a first round pick on that...

...he's already twenty-four (24) years old...

...he disappeared this past season compared to last and didn't make the adjustments to continue to have an impact...

...we already have similar players on the squad in Galette, we need a better fit in the new 3-4 OLB...

That's cool... I can see why. Certainly there's a bust factor there that can't be ignored.

That's fair.

...he's already twenty-four (24) years old...

He's 22. You might be thinking Jarvis Jones here.

...he disappeared this past season compared to last and didn't make the adjustments to continue to have an impact...

He was asked to play a specific role last year... contain. It's well documented.

Galette has no where near the athletic ability or potential that Mingo possess.

Papz, mea culpa, found article, source and I did make a mistake and you are correct that Mingo is 22 and Jarvis Jones is 24...
