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.

The closest player to Willis is Denzel Perryman ILB Miami. He would be my #1 pick and I agree there are alot of 1 trick ponies in this years draft, very few well rounded. Perryman is well rounded. 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

Perryman is intriguing to me. Ive only started to watch some tape on him, but i like it. Another plus is he appears to be someone we could have with our 2nd pick, according to alot of ranks/mocks as of rite now, but ALOT can change between now & then. Maybe its his height(5'11) thats a factor. We've all seen how that has meant nothing for Borland thus far ha. We need to PLEASE hire a new LB coach though....id hate to draft great talent to see it go to waste.

I like Jordan Hicks in the later rounds, maybe a chance on Depriest as well.

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

Look who he plays for. Iowa, enough aid, stay away.

Drafting a OL is tricky though. Who have been the best O-linemen in recent memory?

Jimmy isn't the best TE in the NFL, but he's easily top 3 or 4.

This year he was the 13th highest paid TE, next year moves to #1.

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.

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.
