Re: Draft war room: New Orleans Saints
Whattya' all think about Eric Fisher/Central Michigan at LT? They compare him to CMU alum Joe Staley/49'ers. Small school, under-the-radar kind of pick the Saints are famous for? Would he go early or would he be around @ 15 or later? Around here they say he'll be a high draft pick, but I don't see anyone talking about him nationally. Local boy, he did visit the Lions & they need a LT as well.

Chamberlain (torn ACL), Herring & Humber are mainly ST players. Chamb was a Spags guy who's likely odd man out. You're telling me you wouldn't want Alec Ogletree over at least 4 of those names?? |

The ones we have are paid for and we have no cap space. |

YES, you draft a guy who is better than three other players on your roster. |

Re: Draft war room: New Orleans Saints
Lol
just my thought train, we fill a need before a want. We want better linebackers, we need a starting LT and legitimate back up QB. We have 2.5M in cap space and we need a practice squad. We also have two positions with zero back up. Our FG kicker has managed to play a complete season only once in his 5 years in the NFL. Considering how our special teams have played Morestead has a chance of getting hurt tackling than Lofton. |

ST is always a work in progress. I'm not concerned with the cap - Loomis has proven to be a cap savant. My last concern followed by who the saintsations pick up in 2013 is the practice squad.. |

I am playing the hand that is presently dealt, until Loomis starts flipping his cards I'm not willing to go all on. I could care less about the PS also, their cost can't be ignored. When the budget is tight necessities should be addressed first. |

Re: Draft war room: New Orleans Saints
It seems that everyone KiKi Mingo is the pick if the dight OT is not there. Everything I read leads to him.
