No guarantee that a team would have traded with us. And this dude has some serious issues. He was busted for stealing a motorcycle helmet and got a DUI right before the NFL Combine, and was suspended from UGA for smoking dope. |

How can you even begin to equate that with what I mentioned? That makes no sense. |

If you're not going to draft a guy because he's got or has had problems, then you shouldn't keep a player based on that criteria either... |

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
No one's job is safe, no way we geaux into the season with Three (3) OLB, two of which haven't played together yet and a new addition who's got learn the playbook...Will Herring or David Hawthorne may be moving to the outside...

Pena could start developing now to play behind Jenkins as Bunkley will probably be gone after next season's salary purge; he'd be a good one with his size to anchor the 34 and spell Jenkins... Ty Powell, OLB, Harding University, by way of Seattle, who was already loaded when they drafted this guy late - probably to keep him from another team; as we've learned, when you have a good team, 53 spots disappear fast; this should have been the pick in Round 6... Absolutely love Cody Davis, and with some faster pace NFL experience, he's be better than Harper is now... I'd also add... Dontay Moch, OLB, Nevada, by way of Cincinnati He's got all the ideal measurable physical traits; injured his foot Rookie season; got desperate and was busted for a PED positive test violation in his sophomore campaign with the Bengals; he's a case of being a 34 OLB playing at a 43 DE poisition and just needs reps... And if we can somehow keep him, Ryan Griffin I just would like to know what limitations Chase Thomas presented; he's a classic case of limited measurables, but come game day, the man can play and produce... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
