Updated draft strategy

OK, what do you think they'll do now?
1st let me try to demonstrate our Saints' front office's mindset as of now.
Defense:
DT-Sullivan/Green/Smith/Leisle/Bryant/Whitehead. We have no real superstars opposite Young but one of these should step up. Maybe draft one in the 3rd or 4th if a good one slips, but we think Sully may develop and Leisle should too. Green and Whitehead and Bryant are servicable. Kenny Smith is also a viable option.

CB-We're set with McKenzie/Brown/Thomas/Craft/Ambrose and even Craver. Maybe a mid-rounder for the future. But unless Rolle slips forget it. If Carlos Rodgers is there at 40 (fat chance) then maybe.

Targets: LB and Safety. LB's 2 thru 10 aren't much different potential wise so if DJ is gone we'll wait till round 2 or
3.
If Thomas Davis is there at 16 we'll take him. He's a quality SS. A definite playmaker. Of course we'd convert him to a LB but thats besides the point.

Offense:
Maybe still grab a OT early if one slips, but we think we're set.
A mid-round TE is feasible, as well as a possession type WR. And maybe a late round QB to groom behind Brooks then trade off to be a smashing success elsewhere.

Yep, figure I don't even need to watch the draft now. Perty much know how its gonna go.
