2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

[jeanpierre]

Depending on where Saints lineup in the draft...

But I'm bullish on Jake Matthews, OT Texas A&M...

I'm trending towards a proven, complement to Cam Jordan in Free Agency rather than the first round of the draft and here's why -

I don't think I could take drafting another defensive lineman in the first round who's best first move is on the senior deacon in a sunday baptist buffet line...

Besides, defensive ends typically have a prime life of three-four, maybe five years?!? I'd rather get a free-agent rental than invest a possible top 10 draft pick for a player that has five-six years with us...

Yep, free-agents to shore up weakness and draft BPA except at obvious non-need positions QB, OG, LDE, MLB, etc...

I'm not so sure we don't need to look at drafting a QB...

...I love Drew, but he's no spring chicken and his long ball is starting to have some drama to it...

I have to agree with you on this.....Brees has lost a few steps and we should find a young QB to learn underneath him while we still have him. I know this will sound stupid, but I have to say; what if we picked up Joe Montanas kid as an undrafted rookie free agent? The combination of his father, Drew Brees, and Sean Payton could turn him into the next future hall of famer. Also, if he doesn't turn out to be that good we dont lose a bunch of money. Just a thought.......
