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

Warford, Ramczyk, AP. Kept Kuhn. We're going to be running plenty this year. Armstead-Peat-Unger-Warford-Streif is as much BEEF as we've had since Nicks left.

To me, it seemed like a buy a great one (on sale) and get another great one for free deal last night. Of course, I've thought all along that Cooks was far from irreplaceable and our 32 was a gift that we used quite well. Plus, how many of us have been screaming, SCREAMING for better OL representation in our drafts for years now? Stay tuned folks, there's plenty of really good stuff to come these next couple of days.

I get both picks. I would have rather had Reddick and Willis. Two players you could have plugged and played on defense and got a CB later. But, they are two top players

He said he will be ready after that hip surgery but they all say that so I don't know. Probably not working out like he wants yet so likely ready but not full go as far as shape. I don't see him starting right out the gate. He did well against LSU though which says a lot. Dude is a beast run blocker when healthy.

Saw some quick videos of him ... nasty, mean & coaches rave about his football IQ. Maybe now some of those 3rd and short drives stay alive and we keep our defense off the field & rested.

Exactly. This was an absolute steal. We got the best Tackle in the draft with the last pick of the first round...

Who you got at #42 JP?

Bowser? Willis? Tim Williams?

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

and since we are 'building for the future', why does that only apply to offense?
and with a first round pick you expect a starter. We already have a starter who rates out in the top quarter at this position.
yeah, he's getting up there in years, but I hear there will be a draft next year also, and FA too

Who I have at 42 or my highest rated player?

Man, thanks to Da Bears, KC Minute Steaks, Planet Houston, Detroit Lion-o's, and other dumbasses we've got some terrific talent no one saw falling...

And I'd consider trading some players now to upgrade and pick up some more picks if talent keeps falling in this draft...
