I wouldn't rule out the Saints FO drafting a LB in the 1st 3 rounds.

We desperately need a LB who can consistently cover TE's.

We should seriously consider drafting guys like Deone Bucannon. In todays NFL faster undersized LBs (safeties turned LBs) are not rare breed. Give those guys solid D-line and watch them dominate the game. This draft class has some intriguing players (Jack, Jones, Lee...)

Given the injury, Jack might be there at 12

I don't see how Miles gets past pick #7. Athletic, hits HARD, dynamic and elite coverage ability. In this pass happy league, he is gone early. We could be looking at the Von Miller 2.0 in a few years.

Damn, if he is there at #12 take him :bng:.

I want to know how much he costs us, what defense we will be running. If this was RR last year I would like the pickup. But now that DA is running the defense, we are running a 4-3, not a 3-4. Plus, Kikaha is made for the 3-4 along with Davis Tull who we redshirted last year. If we had a track record of drafting sure fire defensive players I wouldn't be worried but outside of Cam, Stephone, Kikaha and Viccaro, we haven't really hit on defensive players recently. Coach needs to make sure we have the right pieces to make this thing work. Coach Payton you said you're in this for the long haul, time to prove it.

Anthony playing OLB makes sense as he is good in coverage.
You could also see James as the Sam, lot of options in the 43 with these LBs.

34 makes no sense as you'll have James playing out of position along with Ellerbe being an outcast in that system.

The only thing I know for sure is Allen has always run the 43 and went completely away from 34 looks when he got the promotion here. It would be odd to see him go back.

All that said, I like the signing. Vet leadership was needed and I think he'll be sparked to play better than ever being that his team just cut him (think Jenkins and Harper comeback).

Let's not get ahead of ourselves about what he will play because people did this last offseason and it wasn't what they expected.

I don't think he gets out the top 10 but you never know some teams might be scared of his medical and pass on him

Good signing if we play the right scheme. It's going to be mute if we don't get pressure up front.
