Armstead|Peat|Unger|Warford|Ramcyzk/Strief

I was wondering about that last night. Is Sean considering keeping it on the ground more? All he would need to do is figure out the other side of the ball. A strong ground game needs a strong D.

A strong run game with nuclear strike capabilities would be awesome!

Championship!

Best OT in a weak draft for O-linemen. That's inspiring.

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

Again I like the pick, but if from what I hear from the expert analyst that have repeatedly said he will be a back up. I'm hoping get he starts straight up.
All I am saying is I would rather have Defense. 11 DE, 32 lb, or corner.
And if he can get a sack somehow or cause turnovers. I'll do back flips with my Ole ass

I love the OT pick, for years I've wanted a midwest country strong lineman. Looks like we got one, hopefully Payton is cured of his pass happyitis and they start to pound the ball all day on the ground with passes mixed in

All I know if we could have jumped the Niners at 31 and gotten Foster, a second starter on defense for probably a 7th this year or next. Pissed.

And what would have cost to jump the Niners for Foster? It would have taken two picks, at least, including a third this season. Not worth it. There's too much talent left out there and Ramczyk was a bargain, and a need, at that spot.

Round 1, Pick 32 (No. 32) (From New England)

Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin: An interesting conclusion to a wild night. This is the pick that the Saints acquired for trading Brandin Cooks to New England, but there weren’t many (any?) folks predicting they’d use it on a tackle. That’s not to say it is a nonsensical selection. Andrus Peat, the Saints’ 2015 first-rounder, has settled in at guard, and veteran Zach Strief turns 34 in September. So, the Saints got a jump on any potential future headaches by bringing in Ramczyk. The knock: It probably does not make New Orleans any better in 2017 unless Strief is headed out the door early. The defense could have used another body here. GRADE: B

FWIW, there is a "unconfirmed report" coming out now that Reuben Foster will require a second surgery on his shoulder. Possibly another reason why he slid so far down the draft board last night.
