2014 NFL Draft

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; So far it looks like a vote of no confidence in Charlie Brown, Zach Strief, Brian de la Puente and Curtis Lofton... Really surprised to see Outside Linebacker not receiving more votes......

How do you figure that? You didn't put RT in your poll.

We also have L/R ILB so how Lofton is identified is not clear to me. I also do not have a whole lot of faith that voters know the difference between ILB and OLD in regards to our depth chart.

We have 5 R/L ILBs.

And not to nit-pick the poll, but every LB in a 3-4 is different.
The Jack backer has a different skillset than the SOLB, and the WILB has a different skillset than the SILB.

Same with SS and FS.

Same with LT and RT.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

we need size, speed and cover skills in the LB corp as a whole

OT the entire depth chart needs to be addressed seeing almost all are FA this year

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Now if we can get a second day pick with a trade and need a player to say replace an unnamed player then I would look at

Charles Sims RB West Virgina
5116 213 4.54/4.44

big, strong enough to make plays between the tackles, yet quick enough and fast enough to take it to the edge. then add the fact he maybe the best RB as a receiver. good chance of being a Day 1 starter. he fits the mould of RB that works in SP system. yep a perfect player for PT to work with.

we will wait for the beauty shows

myself i like watching the games. the WV OL suxed so bad it was an eye opener as to how good this kid is. he has that uncanny level of escapability that is unbelievable. i am not talking about dancing east and west and around the dome like bush did. he heads north and south and can make 5 moves in 3 yards that leave defenders reaching for air. Then he has great hands.

He reminds me a bit of Marshal Faulk i wounder if he trained the same way in the off season? does any one out there remember it? granted the story was early on in his career
