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

Boutte · 11-23-2013, 08:22 PM

I think the real question is what position needs an upgrade the most and to me that's center. DLP can get dominated at times that can really hurt when we try to pound it inside.

CB is kind of thin too.

We're going to take the best player we can get with the first pick and it isn't till later in the draft that they'll start trying to fill needs. We know that they're pretty good at finding hidden gems but you can't count on that.

(1) Outside Linebacker

(5) Offensive Guard

(6) Kicker

Id like to see OLB's Kyle Van Noy or Trent Murphy in the first. I would absolutely love to see CJ Mosely but he will be long gone by the time we pick.

Best player available. I want the WR from Vandy too. Jerry Rice's cousin. But 1st round. BPA. I don't care what position besides K or P.

I am surprised the Seahawks fans have not weighed in on this thread yet to tell us about their impressive draft picks and how great their team is. They are taking over every other thread it seems.

If that really is the case, and we can have Brees for another 5, I don't see us drafting his successor this year or next unless we want a situation similar to Favre and ARod.

One thing that occurred to me is that Brady and Manning are both older than Brees and neither have looked like they have lost a step. Hell Manning even looks to be better. You never hear anyone saying that they are too old. If Brees wants to go another 5 years hells to the yea!
What I don't want to see is him go out on a steady decline not wanting to let go of the game. I want to see him go out on top.
I also think that when Brees hangs them up so will Payton.

an act of god would would be need to have them fall into our laps.

i am really starting to move

Christian Jones, ILB/OLB/DE, Florida State

up my board. He has more flexibility at the second leave than just about any other player but CJ. The only fear is he has bounced around so much it may take a bit longer for him to settle into a position in the nfl. if i draft on upside he is my pick

Trent Murphy as a 34 DE he is the best run stuffer. as a pass rusher he is plays under control and stays in his lane better than anyone. he is a beast in my book. long gone before we pick i fear

Obviously the Saints will probably keep working on the defense, but you know they may take a shot at an offense player early on. If available, watch out for Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
