Saints Take Brandin Cooks WR in Latest 2014 Mock Draft

RaginCajun83 · 01-14-2014, 01:16 PM

Even with Armstead starting now, I'd say they should still go after another line man, Drew spent half the season and both games in Seattle running for his life. Looks like now the Saints are going to have to find young/cheap protection for Drew

Biggest Need in my mind is a toss up between Linebacker, Defensive Back and Offensive Line...

If Drew wants protection, let him pay for it by way of restructure and pay cut...

I'm with papz.....you got kenny stills in the fifth round last season.... You want the best saints team you can put together, that starts by not stopping the train of good players have on defense..... Kenny Vaccaro was just the first step, this season... A ball hawking free safety is what you should use your first round pick on

I'm with Papz and with you, I would trade down and pick up a FS and ILB both in the 2nd round beef up the O-line in the 3rd, WR in the 4th, thats as far as I got so far.

I disagree. A Payton/Brees offense doesn't have a concept of a #1 back or WR. There's a point where you have to accept that it is what it is. The #1 back is the one that's in. The #1 receiver is the one that is open.

The closest we have to a #1 receiver is Graham. He fits the role on this offense perfectly because the offense doesn't have to run through him in order for him to be satisfied.

Trading down and grabbing FS Deone Bucannon and ILB Christian Jones in the 2nd round would be amazing.

First round WRs are overrated. CB is what we need.
