zach has is head screwed on straight. as usual

Strief got it right. But you know, it reminds me of a sketch:
They were fighting for their lives.
I am glad they were not fighting for mine.

Lol waaay too early to label anything on Kenny. Especially with how the entire unit played, nothing seemed to click. I still like the pick & stand behind it. Lol we're not even a year out of everyone singing his rookie year praises. Alot of analysts predicted a big year. Things just didnt go as planned, but theres ALOT of time for him to develop his game.

Malcolm seemed to be doing his thing in philly this year, was a bigtime playmaker, but then things seemed to fall apart for the team. Probably had to cover bradley fletchers behind too often haha.

Sedrick - YES, 100% agree, lazy & pathetic. Terrible pick.

But like most would agree, our scouts/front office or whoever seem to lack the ability to properly assess talent for our team/scheme. Something has definitely got to change in that area.

Hey, heres to our luck changing this year, right?!

Shaq thompson or Benardrick Mckinney is something we definitely need at LB.

Cooks has the makings of a great player in the first round, we just desperately need a couple on defense.

I was hoping for a top notch ILB'er in the first.

Edit: Or even a guard.

brees84 · 12-22-2014, 03:13 PM

I would draft easily that Brandon Scherff guy in the first.

The only problem with that I read somewhere Brandon Schreff has injury concerns, that would scare me a bit.

If Saints draft top 10 I'd like to see Shane Ray or Shaq Thompson.

I agree with Shaq Thompson, although i gotta say im not thrilled with anyone on Defense in this draft. I wanna watch more tape on shaq, but his athleticism at the LB spot is a plus. Just wanna know for sure if that can translate...can afford to add some weight as well.

Im not on the Shane Ray band wagon....is a great athlete & good pass rusher, but thats about all he's good for right now. & we already have that in Junior Gallete. JR may have the most QB hurries, but it doesnt seem to affect the game like a wagner, kuechly, willis, bowman & sadly there isnt one of those in this draft....that we know of YET. & where would he play with Cam, Akiem & Junior all having spots? Idk if that pick makes the most sense... Desperately need that impact LB who can play sideline to sideline/Cover. Alot more pass rushers in this draft than coverage LB's.
