Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

The Saints did not have a single defensive touchdown this year, a ball-hawking safety like Bucannon or Reynolds would bode well.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Send our first to Cleveland for their third this year and their first next year?!?

Send our first to Jacksonville for their R3 and R4 picks this year and round 2 next year?!?

Send our first to NYJ for their third from Tampa this year and their first next year?!?

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Very good read on Kerr, good find. I would take a chance with a late pick, I like your FS pick also but I really like Buccanon a little better.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Another Alabama safety? No thanks, I'm already sick of people over-reacting to every completion thrown within 50 feet of Harper and blaming it on him.:p

The same thing will happen with Clinton-Dix.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Mr Dix has NFL ball hawking ability written all over him. If the kid can play, I will be the first to want him on my team... regardless of where he went to school.

At this point, I'm more concerned about his knee & if he is completely healthy. For all of the Bama haters, keep a 'lazy eye' on him against OU in the Sugar Bowl. Impressive player & groomed by Saban.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Johnathan Goodwin is an upcoming FA. Would not mind at all if we signed him back..

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

+1. Big kid & super athletic for his size.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

yep just imagine how that one move would solidify the pocket for drew. scary.

odds are they will lose him. the browns do not break the bank on players.

but were do we come up with the 10 million he is likely to get on the market.

once again it would be selling a championship ship run for a few years to him. can you say the one move that could lead to dynasty? yep i think that would push the saints into an elite statues. fingers crossed on a rookie OT and add in another OT or two in the draft then we might have this issue on the OL solved till drew retires.

Sign Mack and Streif

draft
Zack Martin, G/OT, Notre Dame
Morgan Moses, ROT/OG Virginia

Two OT than can play either side
Both have the athleticism to slide inside to OG if needed

ok time to wake up and smell the roses

He may want to return to the west coast. the niners have an opening at center. now that would suck

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

how about a sign and trade for mack? swap our first for their second and pick up the R3 and swap R4. mack may go for it as a parting gift to the browns and they at least get something in return, but that leaves cap issue. who can we send to the browns to open up cap space?

Roman Harper ? ok i am still dreaming here

if the saints did pull a move and signed Grahm you know some team favs would have to moved to the dislike of most fans

pull the trigger if the second was this year. and swap R3 and get R4

gotta get their second this year and their third

either way the other team needs to include their second if we are to trade out of one. we need the picks now not next year.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

That TE from Texas Tech would be a nice addition...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Draft talk is meaningless before free-agency. Loomis always adresses weaknesses via free agency before the draft, which enables us to select BPA at all but a couple of positions.

I wonder if Ryan has identified a few Cowboy FA's that wanna play here next year?

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Fixer :p

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

ok danno your scaring me here, i am not crazy with the cow girls defense

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I had that same conversation Sunday night but came a way saying "WHO would we WANT"?? Aside from Sean Lee?

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Anthony Spencer DE
Jason Hatcher DT
Ryan Cook C
Brian Waters G
Dan Bailey K
Phillip Tanner RB
Chris Jones P
Ernie Sims OLB 29
Danny McCray S
Edgar Jones OLB
Jon Kitna QB

ok here are the cowgirls waiting to square dance invites for 2014

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Well, we can discuss FA - which spots are we more likely to fill via FA? Secondary? WR? LB? Maybe OL...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Jon Kitna? I just lof'nl'd

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Anthony Spencer perhaps?

Just because their defense sucked doesn't mean they have no talent.

We had the crappiest defense in the NFL in 2012 with Jordan, Hicks, Bunkley, Greer, Hawthorne, and Lofton on the roster.

And there may even be a few offensive free-agents that might like to jump that sinking ship.

Just a thought.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

i almost fell out my chair too when i saw him on the list

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

He just signed last week because he knows their system. He donated his entire salary (1 game) to charity.

Class act.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

the cowboys have a long history of choking with all these players in the stretch run. beside spencer who else? then again i maybe blaming the players for the DC job.:p Romo is not to blame for all them years.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Would take Jason Hatcher in a heartbeat.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Don't know much about him. Info?

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Hatcher didn't do well in Rob's system, just this year he has done well. I'll pass because he will be asking for big money.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Yep, just did some research and he's spouting the money line like Nicks did.

And I read he's a much better fit in a 4-3 than a 3-4. And yes I know we ran more 4 man fronts this year than 3 man fronts but I think when we get some more 3-4 LB's in here we'll see more true 3 man fronts.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Spencer, Ware, Jay Ratliff and Sean Lee haven't been healthy all season long. Not to make excuses for the Cows but you have that many key guys out, it's hard to compete each week at this level.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Is he really trying to land a huge payday? I know he is coming off an 11 sack season, but this is the first year he's really put up #s like that.

I agree, with our CAP situation, it probably would not be best pursue him if he really is trying to ask for big money. If he was searching around for a salary like the one he has now though, yeah, I would snatch him up very quick.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I would too.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I kept wondering when I was looking at the 7 round mock why we didn't have a seventh round pick!!!! I totally forgot about that trade.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I was with you till you said all world TE.... People forget how much of a work in progress Graham still is because of the number's he putting up. This WR vs TE is bull the media is using drive Jimmy's asking price up. Mikey is smart if he keeps Jimmy's head on straight. If your not gonna Franchise him you give him Gronk's deal plus a few dollars more and be done with it... Plus if your unsatisfied with Watson's play( which im not) there are gonna be some backup Tight end steals in FA which won't cost you much... Jermichael Finley for example....

As for everything else.... Yes OLB does stand out... We need one. A rangy ball-hawking Free Safety as well... I think if we take the same approach we did last season and hit with another free agent CB...( Talib, Grimes ) Take a free safety from this draft this D can be something special.... not just a comeback story!!!

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

i just do not get it

i have watched more than once this year being stuck on the east coast in acc land. i just do not get the kid. talent is there but he just leaves me disappointed in every game. he is inconsistent big time. lazy untapped potential

sell me on him

for some reason i can see SP getting another toy early

R1 - Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU

just can see this pick all day long from him.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

I'm withdrawing my support for Haha Clinton-Dix in the first round. The guy was a ghost last night. :cry:

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
 

Yeah, I didn't hear his name much either. Only when I did, OU WR's were enroute to the endzone.
