Problems with top prospects

This draft worries me. I see too many problems with the top prospects at certain positions the Saints might be interested in. I think the depth at OT is weak. Im not yet sold on Jamaal Brown or anyone else in the class. None of the top prospects look like the road grader we need at RT. At LB, outside DJ, Davis and Burnett are both converted safeties and Blackstock played in a 3-4 scheme at UVA. At DT, Johnson's is more of a one gap player whose forte is not stopping the run and I see Antaj Hawthorne as the second coming of Jonathan Sullivan, overweight and lazy. Shaun Cody from USC is also not a run stuffer. Thus the more I look at it, the more I like the idea of trading down(barring some miracle that we could get DJ). I know this idea has been posted already, but I just felt the need to share my worries. And how do you guys put the cool little picutres on the side of your posts? I want that.
