2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

papz · 03-14-2013, 08:48 PM

You know... had Chris Faulk not gotten injured his Senior year, he easily would have been a day 2 pick at the latest. Very highly touted and lots of upside. If he were to actually take him, no doubt in my mind he'll be a good RT right off the bat that we could develop into a LT. Would make a nice pick in the mid rounds so we wouldn't have to draft a LT high... if we were not to sign one via free agency.

Papz, if he can get healthy he could start at Left Tackle Now!

Every year we pick a wounded warrior in the draft. i think he is right up there on the short list in the fourth. There are a few nice wounded OT that are out there that may or may not be ready for 2013 but worth thinking a year on IR might just payoff big time.
