Agreed and good stuff.

Drafting corners seems to be trending upward.

With all the Saints' movement up in the draft back into the second round (e.g. Vonn Bell) and again into the fourth round (e.g. David Onyemata) we'd probably had taken another CB this year if we'd had a full complement of picks...

Really wanted us to take Southern Miss CB Kalan Reed, this year's Mr. Irrelevant, but the Saints enjoyed another fortuitous bounce with Cal RB Daniel Lasco still available in the seventh...

We'll probably target Guard, Safety and Defensive End in next year's draft, but I wouldn't be surprised if we continue taking corners even with the good crop we have at present; other than franchise QB's, corners have excellent
trade value...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Peat was doing a pretty good job on Cam Jordan and Co.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

At least five (5) cornerbacks are making this team: 40 - Delvin Breaux, 25 - P.J. Williams, 27 - Damian Swann, 49 - De’Vante Harris and 46 - Ken Crawley; six (6) with 21 - Keenan Lewis, should he get healthy...

We've never been this deep at cornerback...ever!!!
