Re: Saints select Stephone Anthony @31
 

Well guys alot of you wanted Anthony and now you got him. I hope he works out for the teams sake. I come in and read our #31 pick was Anthony and my heart dropped but not in a good way. I hate this pick. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but there were much better ILB that are still out there and N.E. picked Brown at #32 can't ever say we could not have immediately upgraded our front D line with letting him slip by.Sometimes I think our FO has to much of a good time drinking their cocktails.

Great pick and great first day. The next 3 are just as important.

Re: Saints select Stephone Anthony @31
 

Can't say I know much about him but he certainly looks like one physical and tough mother hf'er. We filled two positions we all thought we would address really early... which is definitely a plus.

Re: Saints select Stephone Anthony @31
 

I much rather had Denzel Perryman hopefully we still can grab him because we need 3 more lbers. IMHO

Re: Saints select Stephone Anthony @31
 

I agree we need 2-3 more, but I'd be happy with one more quality starting LB. The next 2 picks are important, we need quality starters not projects.

True... If Jenkins doesn't go AWOL this year as he did last year, it makes it more palatable. Still need a stud in the middle. There ought to be a few at #44.

I really hope I'm wrong and i'll come back and eat a lot of Crow (or seagulls if you prefer) but I see Martez Wilson all over again in this guy

To all who don't like the Anthony pick at 31:

What have we needed for years? An athletic, speedy linebacker who can cover.

Anthony IS that player. More so than Perryman.

And I'd rather use a high pick on a guy who's responsible for doing more than being a "space eater"....

C'mon fellas, there are a dozen 300+lb guys we can grab in later rounds. There aren't other Stephone Anthonys.

Dang, this cat is fast, instinctive, athletic and violent.

Basically everything our other LB's aren't.
