Unsign Ingram and Draft....

hagan714 · 01-05-2015, 08:04 AM

defense issue = players and coaches
offense issue = age and cap

i say deal with offense as much as you can to get the cap straightened so you then can focus more on the defense, Defense need an attitude adjustment big time and that can only be found with veterans from a system that does not put up with the crap we do, that is a hard sell to serious football players. its like asking a college player to go back to playing pee wee

The draft is offense heavy. Hopefully one of the two top OLB's are available at #13 when the Saints pick. If not, get an OT, RB, C, and G in the first four rounds and give Brees the best shot at his last couple years in the NFL.

Yards = Stats.
Stats are for losers!

Stats are a useful tool in evaluating strengths and weaknesses.

Unless they don't back up your argument, then they're irrelevant...

He won't do anything for us behind our current line. Even Walter Peyton couldn't run through a wall.

We can get FAs and later picks but you can't get a guy like this later in the draft. So the question become, will Payton be able to resist?

As long as we get one of the top LB'S in round 1I wouldn't mind.

I hopeful for best player at OL or pass rush round 1. Perryman round 2

Best player available is always the answer. I'm curious to see Gordon's combine numbers. Is he really an elite talent? 4.4 speed, bench reps all that. If he's a young Adrian Peterson and we get him at 13....great! I like Kwon Alexander from LSU. Whats his story?
