If he is there is no way he is not in the running to be the pick

I believe a seasoned vet maybe a better way to go when running a 43.

But I could accept the learning curve and accept the pick. A pick I would completely understand. fills need with talent.

My number #1 LB for the saints is

Ryan Anderson SLB Alabama 6021 253 4.67 #22 rJr

It would get us out of that freaking 3 safety set.

I'm not a big fan of the 3 S set either but Allen likes it. Leaves us exposed to getting gashed up the middle and the slant kills us. This is exactly the reasoning for another NT and Peppers I'm trying to conform to Allens D. You don't know how hard that is to say.

Does he love the 3 safety set or was it a necessity because we had no CB's?

Good question?

Rueben foster would be an immediate upgrade. Barnett or Thomas at DE same thing. One of these three and I will be happy.

Close. We had no linebackers that could cover. Reuben Foster will solve that.

We will learn again what it is to have a 3-down linebacker, if he hopefully falls to us...

My hope is that a new linebackers coach can get Stephone Anthony back on track...

The linebacker play will improve if we can find a coach to have an impact like Aaron Glenn has had on the DBs...

I do not think it is a favorite formation for DA look at the defenses he ran in Denver and Oakland. I think it was more a forced hand this year. He really had no other options.

Might not be hagen but with our cb.'s are made of glass and he has 2 choices, draft and FA to replace what we have now. Our cb.'s need to be upgraded in my opionion. I would love more picks in this cb. heavy draft but unless the front 4 does better it's not helping out any in the middle or secondary. Peppers is a jack of all trades and I would hate to see us pass up on someone the secondary could build their unit around. I think if we don't get him the Ravens will. I think he could step in Vaccarro's spot day 1.
