Come jump on the...

I go back and forth when it comes to Dee Ford. If we're going to use our first-rounder on an edge rusher then part of me would like someone more well-rounded like Kyle Van Noy who excels in coverage as well as rushing the passer... I don't care if the "experts" don't project Van Noy as a first-rounder. I don't know... It's all a crap-shoot and thank God I don't have to be in Loomis's shoes.

While KVN may be more rounded, Ford is WAY more of impact player. The Saints need impact and playmakers on defene.

1. NT Nix - BPA and adds to the best young DL rotation in the NFL.
2. CB Jean-Baptiste - Playmaker/Shutdown CB with size.
3. C Swanson - Anchors the line for years to come.
4. SS Dixon - BPA. Ryan likes 3 safties. Insurance for KV's health.
5. K Boswell - Kicking problem solved.
5. OLB Powell - 2nd round ability. Drops due to injury's. Mean/forceful.
6. WR Janis - Colston part deux with more speed.

I am not a big Ford fan, if we draft him he might prove me wrong, he played on a line that got a great push up the middle, while our D-line has done real well I truely believe Nix ( if he falls which I don't believe he will )or Hageman would be a much better pick for our D-line. Those 2 would give us a very disruptive front line.
