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)
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.

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??

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.

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

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

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

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...

What the the mechanics if trading back? Getting another teams late first round pick and swapping of later round picks to move up the queue in the later rounds? For example we trade 13 and our 3rd round pick for another teams 25th pick and mid second round pick.

I think he may go around the early to mid twenties. If we traded down what kind of comp. would we get trading down in that type of range?
