Re: 2015 draft??
 

We've got to get the front seven reinforced on defense as no defensive back can be expected to cover as long as we've asked our defensive backs to cover at times...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

we need 1 solid CB and i agree any addition to the front seven would be a huge help. or rotation up front stinks. NT appears to big the biggest area of need. last year they stunk up the joint

Re: 2015 draft??
 

If Shaq Thompson is off the board when we pick, I'd move back and try to get an extra pick or two in the top 75...

After the top 7 picks, I really like the idea of moving down and gaining players in the second and third round pick range, for example...

LB Denzel Perryman, Miami (Fla.) (5-11, 242)
LB Paul Dawson, Texas Christian (6-2, 230)
LB Zack Hodges, Harvard (6-2, 235)
LB Lorenzo Mauldin, Louisville (6-4, 256)
CB D'Joun Smith, Florida Atlantic (5-11, 175)
OL John Miller, Louisville (6-3, 315)
DE Henry Anderson, Stanford (6-5, 295)

Re: 2015 draft??
 

i am more of the school fix the offense first and keep the defense off the field mentality this year. too many issues with what we have right now.

at least with the offense it is easier to see what needs to be fixed. the defense is a mess personnel wise in the secondary. and the front 7 is a mental basket case all together. god only knows what is going on up front.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Either of these guys would do it for me. Went to 3 TCU games this past season (Ft. Worth) and I like what I saw from Dawson.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

You know, I went back and watched a TIVO'ed game my friend had of a TCU game and I saw something that the Saints could use in Dawson...

...a linebacker that can cover in pass defense and open field tackle...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Just an observation... I'm reading reports out of Mobile this week and Danny Shelton is starting to sound really, really appealing.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I don't think Perryman will make it very far in the 2nd if he even makes it to the 2nd.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Carl Davis Iowa is getting good press also.

Jordan Phillips need those medical evals on the back

ton of jr DT in the draft so it is hard to tell how this will all shake out

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I'm warming to the idea of trading back to the end of the first round and selecting Perryman to cornerstone the new 3-4 defense we've sought...
