He may ball this coming year...

Vic Beasley and Stephone Anthony would be our top two defenders out the gate...

anyone would be a defensive upgrade

Re: Sean Payton: We need to draft defenders who play right away
 

No doubt. Anthony is a guy who could be drafted in the 2nd round but has 1st round talent.

I would LOVE to see those two guys in black and gold. Could you imagine if somehow Perryman fell to our pick in the second and we picked him?? I'd have to go change my underwear and not because I crapped them....

Coach Payton et al coaches really have to build trust in the players, their abilities, their discipline and their execution...

More so the offense as opposed to the defense, is like a carefully orchestrated ballet, everything is timing and place so that the quarterback has an optimum vantage point, a clear presentation of options from which to read and select and throw...

Blockers have to arrive at certain points to offer max protection while skill players move and arrive on their assignments while not tipping their hand to defenders...

I can see why a receiver in this offense may take a year to see the field if he comes from a very basic college offense...

Guys like Cooks, and possibly Dorsett, arrive with amazing skill sets with experience in more advanced offenses and bring rare character traits that allow them to excel out of the gate...

Perhaps Coleman and Jones just need more time (and reps) in a pro-set offense to blossom and maximize their potential...

Defenders basically have to earn trust by staying disciplined within their assigned duties on plays, trusting the coached, called defense and not going off extemporaneously on their own judgment, possibly exposing the entire defense to a big play or score...

But a younger, stronger, faster defender who understands self-discipline and team discipline is what we should be drafting with the early picks to have the greatest impact for THIS season...
