He'll be paid 1 million more than Gronk (average salary)

We overpaid then by a bunch

Gronk is twice the player Jimmy is.

Yep, and so rarely overpay our players. What a head scratcher.:p

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.

Notice how I said eventually UK, it seems like that's not yet.

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

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.

Re: Draft Selection Slot

Holy crap, I just saw our schedule for next year at the bottom of that article. If we get our offseason right in 2015 we have every chance of bouncing back.

I look for JR. to play that 1 trick pony roll,hell he really is good at it so why go after another, I think Powell and Ediboli can run containment and JR. can go on passing downs. It's really the middle getting exposed and JR. overpersuing
