Saints Possible Options At Pick No. 11

Look at the talent, not the school. They're all just big boys now. Let's pick the best regardless where they once were.

Btw, a little birdie told me that we are going to sign Butler either right before the draft or on draft day 1. This is a pretty legit source and he is usually right.

The Butler signing WILL happen.

stop scaring me already. Butler better not have a first round pick attached to him. I watch him every Sunday if the saints are not on. way over priced.

Agreed

Hagan, why are you scared??

Aren't we in "win now" mode? Butler (2nd team ALL PRO) isn't a sure thing but he is sure bet than 99.9 % of the rookies out there. Marcus Peter types are rare. As I stated before, I'm hoping it's the 42nd pick instead of the 32. Who is to say that pick isn't another Anthony?

The Saints are past due for a edge rusher and corner back.

Not really Saints related, but I need to post this somewhere...

So if the Browns are trading up, I'm assuming it's for a QB. Which means potentially a great defensive player gets pushed down the board to us!

why pay the price for a shut down CB for a player that can not survive on an island all alone?

At this price i would have pushed for top CB in FA.

get back to the playoffs and/or win the division then talk to about win now attitude.

Not to rehash on the "Butler trade scenario" but I don't agree with that. The market sets the value. Butler is playing in his prime & that ship has sailed for bringing in a "top CB" in Free Agency. I'm sure you've seen enough games in the CT area to know that Malcolm would be the best corner on our team. The Saints need to invest in it's pass rush and if we can get an above average to elite corner back PRE DRAFT, it's a wise move. Brees is 38 ... we don't have time for rookies to take their lumps. The sense of urgency to win is here and we need to try and win the division & subsequent playoff run now.

If we can get Butler, draft the edge rusher @ #11, get a young cb in waiting @ pick 42 or in the third and still have an All Pro corner opposite Breaux.

We could still land Butler for our 2nd round pick on day 1.

I believe it will be for pick 32 though.
