2014 NFL Draft

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Cornerback is deeper than you think this year; unless it's Gilbert, Dennard, or maybe Fuller, I'd wait for a cornerback until later rounds and look for guys like

Round 3 (91) Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood; Height: 6’ 1”; Weight: 195 lbs.
Round 5 (155) Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty; Height: 6’ 0”; Weight: 198 lbs.Round 6 (186) Dontae Johnson, DB, NC State; Height: 6’ 2”; Weight: 200 lbs.

Just gotta be disciplined in our drafting the BPA when we pick and Verrett is a second round pick at best because of his size he will be exposed against 6' 3"+ WR in the NFL everyweek; remember, in college, he may have faced 3-4 receivers a year like described; every week in the NFL, teams are 2-4 receivers deep like that...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Verrett size is fine. I guarantee you, all these people moving Fuller and Roby ahead of Verrett on their draft boards are going to look plumb stupid in 2-3 years. He is all football player. Dennard is the same package with more size, but he'll be long gone before we pick. Same for Gilbert, but Gilbert is a little finesse for me. I like tough guys with a mean streak back there.

That could be your motivation, not mine...

If you'd read the thread without that dysfunction in your thought process you might discover several of us enjoy the discussing of learning of new players for familiarity, noted comparisons and new possibilities those players could bring our Saints...

Do you have any thoughts on players you'd like the Saints draft or not?

We'd really enjoy what you could offer...

Hagan, not so sure I'd want to spend an early pick on a Right Tackle...

I'd like the early picks spent on a premium position Quarterback, Pass Rusher, Primary Cornerback, No. 1 Wide Receiver, 3-Down Outside Linebacker, Left Tackle...

Based on our roster, I'm hoping the BPA when we pick in the early rounds are OLB, CB and WR; I'd add TE should Graham departs with my preference being Notre Dame TE Niklas...
