God I hope not. His body of work is pretty average. I just don't see any justification for "Taco" to be selected @ 20 much less #11 by the Saints.
Having long arms and height won't win you one on one battles at the elite level.

Hopefully the Saints pass on Taco Bueno.

I like McDowell in the 2nd over Taco at pick #11, McDowell had a overall better body of work.

Uh yeah, Major, having height and long arms will definitely give you an advantage, especially at end...

I'd move back a little for Charlton, but he did only have one year in a 4-3 and that's when his production soared...

I don't see anything special about Charlton but that's just me. I'd prefer Barnett or a guy like McKinley who has a non stop motor. Re watched a couple of Michigan games in their entirety and there were times where he was invisible. I see a guy who is inconsistent in his effort & limited with pass rush moves. Not what you want with your first pick. If you want a pure pass rusher similar to Junior, take Takkarist. Some players are safer bets than others, that is why game tape is so important. At the end of the day, I'm not impressed.

Barnett's sparq scores were awful. Now, I'm one of the first to tell you to look at the tape, but it's clear that he's reached his ceiling.

All throughout the leadup to the draft, Barnett has been "toughing it out" with this ailment or that ailment, when the truth is, he's not a good athlete...

Admire him for his skill and college production, but he's gonna be a big bust when he gets to the NFL; sort of like Weurffel was at the QB position...

I'm cautiously optimistic about Charlton because when Michigan went to the 4-3 front, his production took off; so that's why I give him the benefit of the doubt as a one year wonder...

Cam Jordan is as small a DE I'd want in a 4-3 front; in fact, having Sheldon Rankins undersized already, I'd be cautious about having too many undersized guys, regardless of college production...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Depending on what round we pick RB we need to invest a high pick on DE. There will be several pass rushers still available.
