OK, let's grade the 2011 Draft: Cameron Jordan - B. 29 sacks, 65 games. Disappears, average against the run. Better lately, but needs to play smarter Mark Ingram - C+. Injuries, inconsistencies. 2400 yards rushing in 4 years. Better lately, but mostly a 1 dimensional back. Martez Wilson - F. Out of football Johnny Patrick - F. Lasted 2 years. OOF. Greg Romeus - F. 1 year practice squad. OOF Nate Bussey - F. active for 1 game, cut 2011. OOF Hmmm. I'd give this draft a D, only out of respect for Cam Jordan. RaginCajun83 likes this.

THIS is the year that Romeus gets that starting job.

You grade based on the prospect. We drafted some guys who look like better prospects than most anyone else we've drafted in years. Talented Fast Smart Productive Physical (well, most of them) Leaders Throw in the fact they also fit needs, and I think this was an excellent draft.

Originally Posted by teddybarexxx i gave them a "c". i felt we should have picked up more offensive players in this draft especially at the o line position. i know a lot of you all are excited about the defensive side of the ball, but as i see it we still dont have anyone on this roster that screams offensive fire power. i'm still wondering about our te position, our wr position, the o line as well as our running game. in my opinion drew is on the decline whether we want to admit it or not, and with no obvious offensive threats we're (in my opinion) is gonna see just how much of downward spiral our qb is heading. i'm glad we picked up a qb i hope he's a scrambler or someone that can get out of the pocket and make throws cuz lord knows i feel we're gonna need him sooner than we think. Drew Brees completed 70% of his passes last year and the offense was like top 5 in the league or better. Actually, with Brees at QB, the Saint's offense has never finished worse than 6th in the league. Other than Jimmy Graham, they've never had an A-List offensive player. Personally, I expect great things from Josh Hill next year and Ben Watson is a good player too. I love our backfield. Ingram and Spiller are both good and compliment each other perfectly. The RB from Missouri is special. He is a STUD returner which we desperately need. He hits the hole hard, has great vision and rarely dances. He is a short strider with great balance who made a lot of big time plays against SEC defenses. I am really hoping for Joe Morgan to step up this year. At the end of last season, Toon showed some flashes too. He can break tackles. Everyone sells Cooks short. He is the real deal and not just a screen runner.

You do realize what you did at the beginning and end there? Max Unger is 29 years old and is an All-Pro and will be a great improvement in our run game... Armstead...older? He's still in his rookie (3rd round) contract; and if he moves to right tackle, he'll be the best right tackle in the league... Evans is old, but he has been injured; and he's a multiple All-Pro so don't put him down with Old Yeller just yet... Originally Posted by teddybarexxx ...on the wr side of the ball, we have a 2nd year rookie, cooks, and a aging receiver, colston, everyone else is, in my opinion people you never heard of or anyone would consider a stand out player or baller... There is only one football; we had to get some talent to the other side of the ball... Most teams don't even have two receivers like we have at the top of our depth chart... The young guys now have a year in the system and just need the reps for a true evaluation... Originally Posted by teddybarexxx ...te um watson everyone else is just like our receiving corp... Josh Hill will be a league leader in receiving, for sure among tight ends; Ben Watson is a tremendous leader for out team; and let's see what the UDRFA dwarves dragged in from the mine before we condemn, okay?!? Originally Posted by teddybarexxx ...running back we kept ingram but you know he's injury prone and you dont know what you're gonna get out of cj spiller... Know This: Our Running Backs are Mark Ingram, C.J. Spiller, Khiry Robinson, Marcus Murphy (R7, #230), Tim Hightower and Fullbacks Austin Johnson and Erik Lorig - We have the Best Running Back Corps in the NFL right now! Originally Posted by teddybarexxx ...i'm telling you i maybe wrong (heck i hope im wrong), but its a lot of ?'s on the offensive side of the ball that no one really wants to admit too... Well, nobody had question marks about the Saints - and we were all wrong! Originally Posted by teddybarexxx , and with our first game of the season we're on the road in arizona where they're known for shutting down teams passing attack, we're gonna find out real quick what we're made of.
