You know what's bothering me about the Jaylon Smith pick...

Now, didn't want to select him and let him redshirt a year, but...

Have to ask if it's not a conflict of interest that Dallas' Doctor on Staff did Jaylon's surgery and follow up prognosis...

Smith was suppose to be all that promise prior to injury...

Then every scout who saw the medical reports and consulted doctors from all over the country basically said he'd be lucky to play again...

And then Dallas takes him at the top of the second round...

Sounds like Jerruh is playing with a marked deck, Texas style...

i smelled dead fish with that pick also

[jeanpierre]

Kinda the same thing with the UDRFA signing with LSU's La'el Collins...

Collins had admitted how he and Jerruh had been on the phone the past week discussing playing for Dallas...

Then the story hits how he's somehow a possible material witness in a young mother's murder...

Something's rotten in Big Dallas...

Yep sounds like it
Now Smith is saying he could play this year. Sounds like a complete set up. Push everyone else away and get who you want with inside Knowledge

We started discussing this last night...Not one bright-eyed bushy tailed professional know-it-all reporter even posed this question...

[hagan714]

round 3 pick for the saints for me would have been
Justin Simmons DB Boston College 6025 201 4.53

Thomas' selection "is no way a reflection on Brandon." Says Thomas is a player who had a very high grade from New Orleans

Payton says there's a couple of different value charts. Saints got an equal or plus value on their chart for trade with Patriots

Larry Holder – Verified account ‏@LarryHolder

Payton said there is a concern about guard in this draft in that the Saints don't have one yet

Sean Payton needs to take his charts and throw them in the garbage...

We're not looking for tackles in our secondary more than we're looking for turnovers and deflections.

Saw what the lack of tackling in the secondary got us last year? Can he tackle is not an uncommon question among elite defensive teams in the nfl. If they can not they will almost always pass on those players.

This is a requirement the saints have placed to little value on the past few years in the secondary. Especially safety which is your last line of defense.
