Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

Wow, finally a so-called expert lauds our pick - well, our first rounder anyway. He calls it the best pick of the first round.

2013 NFL Draft: Breaking down winning and worrisome picks - NFL.com

I was happy with the Vaccaro pick. I did want us to get a good edge rusher in the draft, but there are some decent prospects in free agency.

I loved the Pick also sum people thought it would be a reach at pick 15 but I believe he will be a instant impact and upgrade our Defense

Re: Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

At the very least, he's gonna shake up our defensive backfield. And damn does it need some shakin' up. Oak called Harper gone. I said only if we draft a safety. Not only did we do that, but we took what was pretty much the best by consensus of the talking heads. Training camp will tell, but don't be surprised to see us neckless by the end of it. Don't even start on JenkinsI he'll still be here.

Oh yeah, I also said if Vaccaro fell to us we'd trade the pick. It's good to be perfect.

Re: Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

I don't see Harper or Jenkins going anywhere. Vaccaro plays slot corner in his first year, and we have 3 big thumpers on the field at the same time...

Re: Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

Jenkins is going to be much improved and have a solid season!

You heard it here first

Re: Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

Nope, I already said it. Neither of us will care in about two drinks though

Re: Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

Okay
You heard it here second

Hahaha! Cheers!

It's too easrly to tell obviously. But my initial gut instinct in rounds 1 & 3 felt good. I don't know enough about our late round draft picks yet.I don't know enough about our later round draft picks though.........and thanks to all the members who share their knowledge.

Well we get to see some in a couple of weeks for the Rookie mini- camp

Re: Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

Who's Elliot Harrison.

Re: Elliot Harrison applauds the Saints.
 

Jenkins really isn't as bad as people make him out to be, sure he gets out of position and some times takes bad angles but I believe it all comes back to Roman Harper because Jenkins has to cover so much of the field overcompensating for Harper's deficienies and I mean Many deficiencies he can't do anything on the field but rush and he is getting to where he can't do that because the Defense knows if he's on the field he's almost always knows he will either be blitzing or atleast in the box! With 4 LBs on the field at all times that takes away his shots to get on the field! He basically can't be on the field without causing a mismatch in coverage because the OC schemes around just that trying to get Harper mismatched on basically anybody he sucks so bad! Watch Malcom will benefit the most from Vaccaro because I see him moving to Strong Safety and Vaccaro will probably be Free Safety but mainly in today's NFL you need 2 FS basically every safety that can't cover will struggle because the amount of pass first offenses out there almost everyone out there has significant pass plays!

M.Jenkins will have a bounce back year.Spags lost his players. Ryanand Payton won't allow that this year I think that pride will be a big factor in this team improving from last years debacle.

In hindsight, I don't think he ever had the trust and respect of the players... Besides the Patriots pre-season game, the efforts were those of who never bought in to the system.

It was like the secondary never did even try to get the hang of the zone schemes...
