2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

[lee909]

It will be hard finding a trade partner this year IMO.Its a deep draft but lacking in sure fire starters.Most of the top players have question marks and unless somebody falls in line with a prospect I do t think it would be easy to trade back.
Not keen on Matheiu with a 4th personally. 'd rather get a big CB,too many question marks over him,height,off field issues.

im good wit the guy(Mathieu) but i understand your concern. we need as many playmakers we can get. and the kids tape is good despite off the field issues, but we shall see on that.

there are many other options in the mid rounds as well....

CB - Robert Alford, Southeastern Louisiana
OLB/DE - Michael Buchanon, Illinois
OLB/DE - James Gayle, Virginia Tech
S - Bacarri Rambo, Georgia
LB - John Simom, Ohio State
CB - Logan Ryan, Rutgers

other options as well, but u get the point.

Those are great options, but a lack of offensive tackles is the problem we have...

Absolutely, and the Saints won't be the only team looking to trade down and gain a later pick because of it, so it probably is best not to even consider that scenario and be pleasantly surprised if it happens.

Actually this draft is very deep in starters - you just don't have those "wow" players this season; of course, we don't have all our picks because of commissioner penalties and a not so thought-out FA signing...
