Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Uh-oh, he mentions how good this draft is for CB, S, and RB. Please don't take a running back! And can we get some FN linebackers, for Pete's sake?! Am I the only one who thinks our LB corps has been sub-par for years? Even going back to Haslett days, too little attention was given to upgrading speed and playmaking at linebacker. At least we had Vilma for a little while, and I'm encouraged by Anthony's stoutness, when healthy. I'd like to see an injection of talent at OLB. Anyone else?

I watched this this morning. He's not going to show his hand regarding the draft. So I wouldn't take much he said as reality.
I'm pretty positive we're going LB and pass rusher first. Unless someone is targeted in FA. |

More importantly, the Saints have added Mike Nolan to coach up our LB crew. |

Don't belive everything you hear/read.
That leads to endless "protests" |

I'm just glad we didn't sign Kruger to that massive deal that Payton originally planned before Cleveland beat us to him.

I'm high on Reuben also. He's a franchise LB. Whatever that is...

Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Panthers may snatch Fournette. Focus will be LB, DE. CB's and Safeties are not going to help that much if that goes down and we are already weak in that area.

Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Its now the time of year for smokescreens.
If coaches and GM's say something, its most likely intentionally misleading. |
Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
SP is right. This is a draft to completely rebuild a secondary with. deep big and talented.
Some steals at RB are very possible Still not sold on Dalvin Cook going in the top ten much less the top 20. he is not an Elliot. Fournette is different. he carries that rare freak label. |
Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Cook > Fournette
So coach says they going Defense in the draft, with the 11th Pick the Saints select Deshawn Watson QB Clemson |
Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Free agency is for addressing immediate needs
Draft is for selecting the BPA and depth at areas of weakness. The draft is full of JAG'S. Finding a gem is much easier if you address weaknesses in free agency. |

Both are scheme limited RB. Cook is a zone blocking RB and Fournette is a power blocking RB So we are comparing apples to oranges in a way. Cook in Carolina makes more sense than Fournette IMO. Other RB will be in the draft in the for years to come that have the same skill set and build as Cook. There is not another RB in the que for the next few years that even comes close to offering what Fournette does for a power rushing team. I am still on the fence about Cook being 20+ picks better RB than Christian McCaffrey. Cook is not Elliot. Christian maybe more of a one cut back and cook is shifter but in no way does Cook offer the flexibility that Christian does. Christian can beat you 100 different ways. Shame the best back in the draft will go un drafted and might not even play in the NFL. Joe Mixon. Actually would not be surprised to see both Cook and Christian fall in the draft and end up in the second. But the talent quality in round 1 seams to be all about upside than a high floor. Been wrong before and this is why I love the draft. all so called educated guess work |
Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Payton was handing out those Fake glasses with the big nose and mustache for the prospects to wear till draft day. "If you can't see them, they aren't there!" Yes it's the same one's they put on players when they "sneak" them through waivers.

Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Can Ireland work another magical draft on defense? Heck, Thomas was a second round steal for our dominant offense. But we need to focus strictly on defense......unless we take a guard in the first three rounds.

Re: Coach Says Team Needs to Improve Defense - Shocker
Damn, we didn't know that.
