Saints show interest in Gilbert, Pryor, Rice

Bush cover skills are unknown, he is a hard hitter. Pryors skill set is more well rounded than Bush, maybe Atlanta gives up a pick for Bush and we get Pryor.

PFF graded out Bush's coverage skills the highest of the Saints safeties last season and 17th among 171 safeties in the NFL.

He's also a hard hitter.

My thought is a little on the wild side. What if you aren't bringing Ball in to play safety. The safeties as we look at it would be Vaccaro, Bush, Bryd, and Ball. If they are thinking Ball is gonna play special teams and Linebacker as he did in Canada then the thinking of getting a falling Calvin Pryor makes perfect sense. Also with more of the three safety looks you would be looking at pryor as a safety who held his own as a cb/safety hybrid player <<< again just my hypothetical on what they would be thinking inviting Pryor. Also Vaccaro didn't finish the season, another insurance policy making your safety combinations dangerous regardless of which ones are on the field.

If Gilbert drops there is no way you can pass up his multiple threats both as a corner and as a kick returner. I'm not in the mindset of reaching. but if he falls into I think you would be crazy to let him fall past us.

I don't really start studying the draft until about a week ago, but from what I see so far I'd rather have...

CB-Gilbert
CB-Dennard
CB-Fuller
LB-Mosley
LB-Ford
LB-Shazier (but kinda iffy over Pryor)
DT-Nix
WR-Cooks
WR-OBJ

All of the above have just as much potential to fall as Pryor does. One of those guys will be there. I'd prefer all of them to Pryor.

I'll take any one of those guys in a heart beat......

All of them could be considered a position of need and BPA.

+1. Where has all the buzz gone with Deonne as of late? I haven't heard the likes of Mayock, McShay etc call his name. This guy seems to have the potential of becoming a serious ball hawk at the NFL level.

I too would take Buchanon over Pryor.
