What position would you like to see the Saints go for in the draft?

DISPLACEDFAN · 11-23-2013, 03:32 PM

RD1. OL/CB
RD2. LB/WR

BPA except QB, RB,WR, FB, TE, K or P

And also think about where our quality/depth is on defense. We look pretty solid at DT, DE, and Safety. OLB and CB not so much.

And with Lofton not being an ideal SILB in a 3-4, you can add ILB to our list of needs.

If the next Aldon Smith, Clay Matthews, Ahmad Brooks or DeMarcus Ware is sitting there, I'm pulling the trigger real quick.

Obviously they won't suck, but they aren't going to improve dramatically at the next level. I tend to think Bama players are over-rated by about a half-round or more going into the draft.

True.. I've never thought of that before. That's a testament to how good of a coach Saban is. I would still like Hubbard though. I don't know about anybody else, but I just can't ignore a player as big and quick as he is.

I have a bias towards big uglies,large men that can run are rare,DT DE,OT. I think that we need a C,OG however the Saints seem to find gems in the later rds. Swanson is a player that I see going in 3-4 rds.I think that would be a good pick in the 3rd. After saying all this we will probably pick a OLB, DE.Pass rushers are at a premium. CB is another distinct possibility. FA always affects the draft. I don't see us being a big player. WR is another possibility. It is hard to predict where we will go. A late rd pick on QB is something I see as likely..

OL and WR are the only offensive spots I think need to be addressed. WR are getting older should be at least in the discussion. Other than those spots Think it should be another highly concentrated defensive draft whatever position but CB would be #1 on the list IMO

Hoping we get a shot at Kyle van Noy.

If there's one worthy of a first round pick still available when the Saints draft, I'd like to see them pick up an offensive lineman, any position. I think the offensive line depth needs some serious attention.

The Dude · 11-23-2013, 04:32 PM

O line, linebacker, corner, and QB

We will draft a QB in the first round either this year or next. My guess would be next.

O-line. Then o-line then o-line again.
