Re: Draft war room: New Orleans Saints
I understand he has all the potential in the world, but I'm kinda wary of another "upside" guy that has to switch positions |

Re: Draft war room: New Orleans Saints
Bingo (not mingo)
I'd rather see us reach a little bit for a 'round peg' LT than pick up a 'developmental' player with potential. And that comment should be taken with a grain of salt, in that almost all rook's need to 'develop' their game to get used to NFL speed Who knows, maybe we get lucky and there's a rush on QBs, pass rushers, and Tavon Austin/Cordarrelle Patterson before 15, and somebody like L Johnson falls. I still am not convinced that Fluker would be a bad pick-up for us either. A little bit of a reach maybe, but see above. If we go Best Player Available at a position of need and not Best Athlete Available (Thanks Hagan for clearing that up) then JMO, Fluker might be what we need. Whether he can step in and start (esp at LT, but not sure if Chucky Brown is any better at this point), well, that's another question |

Re: Draft war room: New Orleans Saints
Change it up a little but Tyson Clabo is going to be released. I think if we can add it will take alot of pressure of having to move up or go LT in the first

Re: Draft war room: New Orleans Saints
Here is my train of thought:
I'm using Atlanta as an example but there are teams in similar situations. Atlanta has 11 draft picks and only 1.7M in cap room. They will have to shuck players, I'm hoping some of their shucks are better than some on our active roster. San Francisco has 15 draft picks and 1.3M in cap space.... See where this is going? To cut to the chase, I believe there will be quality players released after the draft... By quality I mean a player at a position better than what we have at that position. The NFL trade deadline is not till week 6 I believe, so it's very plausible that our depth chart will look different before week 1, with names not in the draft or FA. Unless I am wrong. Then it appears I just wasted 5 minutes of your life that you can't get back. |
