What we need is a waterboy, and I'd be a steal at 31. Make it happen Loomie!

The Saints could easily keep their first-round focus on defense, after taking Kentucky pass rusher Bud Dupree at No. 13. But with the pick they received from Seattle in trade for Jimmy Graham, finding another starting tight end seems logical. Williams isn’t the one-on-one mismatch that Graham was—who is?—but he’d make a nice target for Drew Brees and can even add an element of blocking ability that Graham never exhibited.

Not so sure this makes sense...

Strike 1, strike 2...
Too many needs to take a TE @ 31. Personally I'm fine with Hill.

There seems to be an infinite number of combinations that I'd be completely satisfied with on draft day.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I just had a flashback to when we traded two number ones to move up for Sullivan...

Shelton and an ILB would fill the defenses two biggest holes.

My thoughts exactly! If we draft a TE before the 5th round I'll be pissed. Hill is going to surprise a lot of people.

Josh Hill is probably better than Maxx Williams and a better athlete too. I love Williams' hands but I'd prefer a different pick there.

jeanpierre · 04-02-2015, 07:53 AM

I would target Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma in the fifth round...

Josh Hill will be a very good TE for us and that takes the heat off to 'find Graham's replacement'...

Colston can again be your big, high, tall target he was before Jimmy pushed that aside...

And you can always draft a young big tall WR, because if we don't move up and unless Beasley or Scherff fall...

I suspect we're taking DGB at 13 and defense with the next three picks...

No need for a TE earlier than round 3 or 4.

If Sherff and Beasley are gone, there's a strong chance Kevin White will be there too.

Don't know about that '76...

Raiders, Redskins, Jets, Rams, and Vikings all need 'X' receivers very badly...

And I wouldn't discount the Bears after trading the troubled kid, Marshall, to NY Jets...

Alright, Smash, knock that sh*t off right now...

We're not going there...

As bad as we've drafted, we're not doing dumb sh*t like that again...

Jim Haslett's not in the house...
