One of the best MLB, ILB in the last twenty years, Miami's Zach Thomas, should have never seen an NFL film if it was about the underwear olympics...

We still have way too many coaches' sons in our scouting department and we still have a long way to go in the staffing, structure and management in scouting and drafting...

Guess they need to hire you since you obviously know it all.

Ireland is probably tied up and stuffed in a closet right now...

Guess we are not going to get a quality DE or DT. I think we should have went that way. Realize we were probably going to need another receiver but thought we could wait for a later pick

Now let me ask you?

Would you rather had we taken Treadwell or Doctson in the first round, and taken Reed in the second round?

Or taken Rankins in the first and Keyshawn's nephew in the second round?

The way the draft fell
Laremy Tunsil ROT Ole Miss 6050 310 - Peat goes to LG
Jarran Reed, DT/DE, Alabama 6034 307 5.21

Preference
Reed over Rankins - we will regret passing on reed as teams as teams Dbl team Rankins to the concession stands. the kid will need help and the saints do not have a DT that requires Dbl teams
Hate to say it probably Doctson over Treadwell it would have been hard to pick between the two. I would have flipped a coin in the war room.

Hey, my love was for Treadwell, but it would seem a better outcome Doctson/Reed than Rankins/Thomas...

One, the skill is more acute in WR than DL...

Second, draft was so deep that Reed was still there in second round...

Third, Reed can play multiple positions, multiple fronts; Rankins is strictly a 3-tech...

We were not going to get six DTs on the team.

those corners and safeties i listed have not been taken yet.
