Exactly, really changes complexity if team decides not to overlook it...

Plenty of talk people are willing to take Green-Beckham in the first and the exprcted number 1 pick has some serious question marks. It may mean Fowler,Beasley go ahead of him but loads of teams need a pass rusher and imo someone will be willing to take him before 13 or maybe if he is there a team will make a offer

No, but it could shift things askew and as you get further down the draft order, the shifts become more dramatic...

I agree,i think he still goes myself. The position is at a premium,its a case of the teams wanting him,do you want a pick there.

This writer has a pretty decent bead on the Saints and seems to have taken a first-person study of what's going on with the team...

Eli Harold was mentioned as a potential candidate at pick #31.

Thoughts?

Just read a really interesting piece on Jeff Heuerman(Ohio State TE) on bleacher report. Its worth looking at but i cant post it from phone as you need the pictures for it to make sense.

Sounds a interesting prospect

I have been looking at Heuerman as a solid option at TE. IMO he is a bigger version of Watson which is not a bad thing. With the saints so focused on spending money on RB and trades depleting the WR corp of our best talent, the OL has to be key. TE has to be included in this group

So I have to think a solid old school type of TE has to be on the list of needs. Heuerman is definitely one. If he is there in round 3 the saints have to consider him. they have bankrupt the passing attack all for the sake of the ground game and pass protection that a pick like this makes sense

On the flip side we have been saying this for years so i have little hope that saints will go this route. just like the saints investing in even more on the OL to finish the job. they always get to cute and out think themselves in this area of the game. depth up front on both sides of the ball have been sadly addressed over the years.

as a general rule of thumb i have adopted a slogan for the saints.

the saints suck at building a bench.

he is interesting an at 31. this is a pick i could see happening. upside all the way. i watched a lot of Virgina football and he has improved each and every year but i never though he would be a bottom of the first type of player. one of two possibilities here, he does have that upside or this is a weak class at OLB at this point in the draft , that like the QB, they are getting more hype do to their glorified position.

I would rather see the saints finishing the job they started up front on the OL which I have little faith in them completing. they never complete what they start. but thats just me.

I think at 31 you have other options open to you that are safer picks on both sides of the ball. this may be the spot to look at CB OT OG DT because when pick 44 comes around the picking will probably get mighty thin and your talking third tier talent pool by then. grab the best from the second teir vs the bottom of the first tier is not a bad thing to do. pats live with this way of picking players. pick a player based on what he is not on what he might be.

i am open to trading back into the top second and getting that 4th rounder back. plus something else of course in 2016

But not picking from the over glorified positions make for a boring draft.

But a boring draft may be just what this team needs

heck sell me on the kid. i am open to it
