Re: Saints sign James Laurinaitis
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 . |

Re: Saints sign James Laurinaitis
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.

Re: Saints sign James Laurinaitis
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

Re: Saints sign James Laurinaitis
Good signing if we play the right scheme. It's going to be mute if we don't get pressure up front.
