Re: Despite defensive needs, Saints pick offensive tackle at No. 32

I really liked the pick. Now we are 3-deep at OT so we can finally hopefully keep Peat at LG and let him settle in. We are no longer 1 injury away from Peat moving all over the line.

And here's the thing - we need a pass rusher, but we don't need a Bruce Smith-type (although that would be nice). We need a speedy type like Danielle Hunter from the Vikings or the KGB that used to play for the Packers. Someone that we can rotate in on obvious passing downs that can wreck the protection. We can hopefully find that guy later in the draft and coach him up, or possibly use Kikaha in that role.

We all get you pick to build and for the future. However if you a coach and your 7-9 three years in a row. Having a qb is in only a two - three span, at best. You pick where you need by far the most help. Which is defense
Offense top 5 for how many years in a row.
Defense , bottom half for how many years in a row.
Let me say I do like the pick, please get starters for now. I hope he beats out Street, then I'm happy

I like how some are chicken littling like the draft is over; even though it was only the first round...

Acting like 1st round talent is the only ones good enough to play...

What if Armstead moves to RT and Ramathorn is our new LT?

Isn't Ramczyk a natural RT, with one year at LT? From what I understand he is very versatile... I still think he comes in and takes Striefs job from day 1

Ramczyk is a bit hard to peg because he is raw.

athletic enough to be a LT

athletic enough to be a very good RT is a safer bet

Lattimore was projected # 5-7 in most drafts. Ramczyk was projected 15-25.
Both are needs and BPA who fell way lower than most expected. There was a run on Def. Solid draft selections to me.

He was the #1 OT in the draft, and the 16th best overall prospect in the draft. We nabbed him at 32.

I'm just fine with that.
