NFL Draft: Medical re-checks confirm concern for Myles Jack, Jaylon Smith - CBSSports.com


As Deuce McAllister said, we can't afford to "redshirt" anyone...

Take 'em off the draft board, move on...

Eh, i dont totally agree with that statement. I definitely wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket for the Saints this year, so adding Jaylon Smith(personal favorite of mine) would not not be something we couldn't "afford" to do. Especially with what Ed Werder reported..."teams are unsure when he'll see the field, but they believe he'll have a long NFL career" i would NOT pass up the opportunity to get a franchise player like i see in Jaylon Smith if thats the case. Jaylon at WILL, Anthony at SAM & Laurinaitis at MIKE next year would be lovely. Thats just my opinion.

With that said, i'd love to trade back in the first, even out of the first round to gain additional picks in the 2nd & 3rd & a 1st next year. Thats really where the meat of the draft is. I dont consider talent at 12 to be that much greater than talent at the end of the 2nd/early 3rd.

Im thinking Chess not checkers. Saints still have holes & the schedule isn't going to be a cake walk.

The saints have a history of not drafting players with questionable medicals

Ronald Powell. He tore his ACL twice while at Florida, however we still drafted him.

true enough but as a rule of thumb it is rare the saints make the pick. it will be interesting to see how this all works out for the best LB in the draft. who will role the dice and when?

If the Saints FO feel confident that Jaylon will make a full recovery, I'd say he is still on our draft board. He is that special.

This team is anemic on defense and unfortunately we aren't close to sniffing a championship this season. If he is still on the board by round 3 (highly unlikely he is still here), draft him.

I keep hearing that the draft is all about the future, no ?

We aren't close to sniffing a championship? Well I believe if GB goes to the sb next year then the saints will have to wait until 2019(Packers, Cowboys or Giants, Seahawks a division pattern that has gone on since 2004). Can Brees still play then?

Until the Saints pass and he is starter on another team then all the "I knew we should've..............(there's one of those words again)
