Good article right here.

Why Joey Bosa spent his final Ohio State season in solitude

Mr. Bosa has recommitted himself, appears even more disciplined and is ready to play football 24/7 at the next level. If he is still on the board @ 4, the people up here in Death Star nation would be foolish not to draft him.

My surprise pick at 12 is Jack Conklin OT/OG Michigan State. With the depth of defensive linemen in the draft the Saints could get DE/DT in the 2nd and 3rd that generally would be picked in the first. That would shore up the o-line for years to come. We need Drew standing up.

One of my favorite bands of all time... But he said "The Division Bell" is his favorite album of theirs which raises more character concerns with me than jumping out of a 4th story window!

It has always amazed me how self-centered some of these draft picks are and how incredulous they come off when fans and teams are not tolerable of those selfish players who put their needs of being comfortably numb over the team's success...

New Draft Order Up To The Saints...

1 Los Angeles Rams
2 Philadelphia Eagles
3 San Diego Chargers
4 Dallas Cowboys
5 Jacksonville Jaguars
6 Baltimore Ravens
7 San Francisco 49ers
8 Cleveland Browns
9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
10 New York Giants
11 Chicago Bears
12 New Orleans Saints

There's some real potential for some lasting schädenfreude with this latest trade..

Chip Kelly had given away talent these last few years and now the Eagles traded the ability to restock that talent...

And the quarterback will have the distinction of being No. 2 in the draft - not exactly the best track record in recent NFL drafts...

Of course, the Browns are the Browns so they still may not have acquired enough picks to overcome their ineptness...

Couldn't happen to two of the finer a$$hole teams in the NFL...

You think we are playing 3-4 still?
I was expecting to go back to 4-3 with Allen

I'll be happy if they field a defense at all.

We are playing a 43... it's all we played when Allen took over and it's the only type of defense Allen has ever played regardless of team...

Yes and Neaux...

Based on what Coach Payton stated in interviews during the off-season after the Laurinaitis signing and subsequent re-assignment of linebacker rolls...

Payton said that Kikaha would primarily be rushing the passer as opposed to playing an OLB in space; in fact, in one NOLA.com interview he referred to Kikaha in a "jack" type role and moving Cam Jordan back to a true end...

Based on that, I set up a depth chart, with possible gap assignments based on the personnel we have and where they've historically played or where Coach stated they might play (based on the aforementioned interview(s))...

So that's why the depth chart alignment looks as it does...

As some other members have mentioned, Hagan, Danno et al, we'll be running more a 4-3- under, with the "jack" almost exclusively assigned to pass rusher duties, with the occasional surprise drop back into coverage...
