Re: What exactly is the logic behind drafting Treadwell?
I'm really rethinking Jenkins. Not disruptive enough for his position. Thats the one spot on the 4 line that needs a spark plug. I would love foe Sunseri to beat out Vaccarro. Thats another spot that has to be addressed SS. And Anthony hasn't looked all that good in coverage, he got his rookie pass he needs to step up this season. Also I'm curious how Allen is going to use Kiki? Or is he going to waste his talent?

Re: What exactly is the logic behind drafting Treadwell?
I'm in the draft defense 2 of 3 first rounds and find a WR either in free agency or late in the daft. I'd break the TV if with this Swiss cheese defense the Saints went and drafted a WR in the first round
Danno, I get the drafting for the futrue but who knows about this team in 5 years RIGHT NOW we have Brees and he's getting to that point where the defense needs to start pulling its weight and then some because that game he had against the Giants last season won't be happening on a regular basis anymore |

SFIAH simply asked the logic behind making him the pick at 12. My personal top 10 are all defensive players. |

Re: What exactly is the logic behind drafting Treadwell?
I too will be in the minority here ...
Saints need to start building a team like Denver & keep grabbing talent in the 1st for defense. I think this year we are in a great position now to pick BPA on DEFENSE for the next few seasons & really turn this young group around with more talent. Our team needs more talent and depth on the defensive side of the ball. I'd add a WR via FA and if you can find a Kenny Stills type in the 4th or 5th, go for it. If the likes of big boy Billings, Buckner A Robinson, or Rankins (all considered impact type talent) are still on the board, I could see the Saints selecting one of these guys rather than a WR @ #12. Side note : I think Josh Doctson will be a better Pro prospect than Treadwell. Don't get me wrong, Tread is a talented player however I don't see the Julio Jones type hype to justify as our first pick next month. Here is a quick read on the draft. It's harder than ever to make the right pick in the NFL Draft - SBNation.com |

Re: What exactly is the logic behind drafting Treadwell?
if Saints go WR in this draft, I want Corey Coleman from Baylor but I doubt he's there in the 2nd round. Just looking but most WRs 6'2" or taller have a FA grade on them. Why?

Re: What exactly is the logic behind drafting Treadwell?
I understand the Treadwell love an all. Plus I see the need, especially with colston gone and our two best WR under 6'. I think the saints would be better off with a tall WR that can take the top off a defense freeing up Cook a bit more. I never shied away from a solid possession WR that has just good speed either.
He meets all the requirements it would appear to be in this offense. football IQ appears not to be the issue. But the pick makes me a bit apprehensive for some reason. Defense is such a huge area of need. He is on a short list for sure but there are others that fill a need and appear to be just as safe of a pick? |

Re: What exactly is the logic behind drafting Treadwell?
Oh, and we better address our holes on both sides of the ball with a decent free agent haul.
