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

I'd like to see us take Adrian Hubbard, OLB out of Alabama in the second round. The guy is a monster. 6'5, 252 and can run like a deer. He's not a liability in the pass or run game. Rob Ryan would work wonders with him.

Hubbard in the 2nd sounds fine with me.

They say the problem with Bama players is that Saban has already gotten the most out of them. There likely won't be a huge "development" jump for his players when they reach the next level. They're kinda like what you see is what you get. We've seen that with his DB's and LB's already.

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.
