Cameron Jordan wants Saints to add a couple cornerbacks in 2017 draft
More tidbits from Cam Jordan.
HOUSTON -- Most people agree the New Orleans Saints' biggest need in the draft is a defensive end, but their top player at that position would like to see the team target another area. Last year, Cameron Jordan wanted the Saints to draft a defensive tackle to help provide more disruption on the interior. New Orleans proceeded to sign Nick Fairley as a free agent then draft Sheldon Rankins in the first round and David Onyemata in the fourth. "I'm going to leave the drafting to them," Jordan said Wednesday on Super Bowl 51's radio row. "They seem to be doing well when we go draft a good defensive guy. Now, would I like a high defensive end? Yeah. But at the same time, I'll take a corner." Story: Cameron Jordan wants Saints to add a couple cornerbacks in 2017 draft | NOLA.com |

So he doesn't have to share sacks with another end that may get there first.

If the front line got better pressure our cb's wouldn't have to cover for so long. Allen blitz's alot and they still don't get there. I don't see 2 (Revis types) but I got to agree about getting better cb.'s, ours are made of glass. I fix the front line first and foremost.

Yeah, we need all kinds of help defensively, Cam. Maybe what we don't need is a teammate talking about what he wants at other positions. Day 1 locker room: awkward

And it had nothing whatsoever to do with Twitter. Jordan, besides Brees, is the most interview-able Saint on the roster. That's why he is in such demand there. The NFL Network morning show spent an extended time with him on set Wednesday. |

Why are people around here so ready to anything said as a negative? |

I don't think Cam meant any harm, but in most cases it's not a good idea for someone on a team to make comments regarding draft needs. This can be easily taken the wrong way by teammates.
