Re: Just say NO to a Wr in the first round ...
I'd be happy with Cooper or White at 13. Both have superstar potential.
You don't draft for need, you draft BPA. But even so, with the absence of Graham and Stills, WR has become a pretty significant need. |

Re: Just say NO to a Wr in the first round ...
I would really like to see Jaelen Strong late in the 1st or early 2nd. The kid is a stud. 2287 yards and 17 tds in 2 years on a subpar ASU.

Re: Just say NO to a Wr in the first round ...
Our WR's have never been strong. After losing Stills and Graham I am down with drafting a WR in the first round. But I really want a G or defense with both of our first round draft picks.

Re: Just say NO to a Wr in the first round ...
Yea im in the number that's completely fine with WR at 13. Heres the thing, im only interested in big, possesion type WRs with some speed as well...in other words, a true # 1. Which we dont have. Colston is clearly coming to an end. As said earlier too, these wr's are coming in & adjusting to the game at a more rapid pace we've seen im years & that could be attributed to the great class that came in last year. The thing with that is, this class could easily be just as good.
With that said, im only interested in the top 6 guys on my Board who fit that #1 mold.... Kevin White - Julio Jones like Devante Parker - AJ Green like Dorial Green-Beckham - Calvin Johnson like Amari Cooper - Smoother Victor Cruz like Jaelen Strong - faster Alshon Jeffery like Breshaud Perriman - Dez/Alshon like Outside of these guys i can see less production in the first year as you were concerned with, maybe with the exception of Nelson Agholor, Devin Smith, Phillip Dorsett, Tyler Lockett. But theyre more in the mold of what we have in cooks(smooth route runner/shifty speedsters who can take the top off.) Theres my argument why id be just fine with A WR in the first. Only 4 id consider with pick 13 tho & thats: Devante Parker Kevin White Amari Cooper Dorial Green-Beckham(yes i kno we can wait maybe til 31, but we all know with out the off field issues he's a lock for the top 15. Im just looking for the saints to draft Football players who can make a difference regardless of position.) Other than that...Defense the rest if the way! With the exception of a Guard, which i love Shaq Mason in the 5th if he falls. Had a great pro day, should check it out if you can find it. |

Re: Just say NO to a Wr in the first round ...
I like Beckham but imo no way will Payton think about him after so many statements of locker room issues. Also 13th is too high for a man that hasn't shown he can handle any route tree. He could be Calvin Johnson but just as easily could be Cordelle Patterson
