yep

Charles Sims and James White are the only two backs i am looking in the draft.

solid running inside and out
excel as a pass catcher
excel in blitz pickup

do those three things and i pay attention. Drew must be protected

ok here is a gamble for ya.

Ingram traded away for additional picks and saints draft both players with the idea PT will not be resigned when there contracts are up.

would you go this far? our would you go further?

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

I still like**Jared Abbredaris 6-2,188lb,4.41 speed. Walter football reports have him as possible the best route runner in the draft and that only patchy QB play held him back.
78 receptions for 1087 yards and 7tds on a run heavy team with a poor QB. Should be a 3/4th roundee

thats the key for this team. route running skills.

my short list on WR that fit the saints style.

Jarvis Landry WR LSU
Jared Abbredaris WR Wisconsin

After that there are a few others but those two i feel can walk in and push for playing time day one and make a few starters very nervous

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

I really like Draft Tek and I think they're right on with us picking Dee Ford in the first round. Unless he does something to hurt his draft stock I'm completely on board with getting him if he's available. Here's what Draft Tek currently projects for our draft:

Rd. 1) Dee Ford- OLB (Auburn)

Rd. 2) Anthony Steen- G (Alabama)

Rd. 3) Kareem Martin- DE (N. Carolina)

Rd. 4) Bryan Stork- C (Florida St.)

Rd. 5) Justin Ellis- DT (Louisiana Tech)

Rd. 6) Kadeem Edwards- G (Tennessee State)

On both need and bpa, I don't see this list as they had at least six players that present higher value and need for the Saints than Ford...

He's been amazing, but I think we already have that player on the roster, and affordable, in Galette...

Two Guards?!?

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Ford or Ealy.. I'm for it. I see us possibly trading back to get another pick to make up for the 7th.
