I'm not opposed to what you said about trading back into the first round to get Ogletree, but we also have to have patience and see what we have in our current defensive players and then make a decision with our 1st round draft pick still available next year instead of trading it away... Damned if you do, damned if you don't. That's why we love this stuff so much!
I feel ya, but even novices can see we had a roster completely lacking in 34 Outside Linebackers...

No guarantee that he would have been available.
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.

That "they have to want to" and "you have to have something they want", often gets over looked.... Pesky details.

Will Smith was arrested for assaulting his wife in public; so why, by the aforementioned logic should we have kept him?!?

Really? He was already under contract. He wasn't a 2013 draft pick.

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

Read the statement, Why did we keep him?!? Because he was under contract?!? Then if he's got baggage, he should have been cut...

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

Ty Powell OLB/DE Harding Developmental player that is worth the risk. Size and speed for the 34 and above average coverage skills

Cody Davis, FS/SS, Texas Techanother diamond in the ruff player well worth the PS

Three of those we mocked up and I would love for those guys to come to New Orleans! In fact, within a year, three of those guys could be on this team playing and contributing...


Fragel would be a great Right Tackle candidate to develop; he could even move into guard as he's pretty quick (former TE as you mentioned)...

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...
