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

I think on the whole we have stocked piled a lot of talent ... The competition will be a good thing this summer and will sort itself out for the best 53 man roster ... Better defense of course but a lot of moves in the off season and some very good selections in the draft were made by "The Team" thankful not by listening to the fan base, granted one of the best well informed groups out there but fans non the less not GM's Scouts and HC's ... But the offense has been missing some key pieces as well and I am not at all upset with the running back selection ... MI is most likely gone in 2018 ... AP not likely to make 2 years ... In the end it will be more about balance and chemistry with depth to the roster. OG Who Dat 67 Tulane Stadium ... Still here today!

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
You don't pick a defensive player over an offensive player of need when that offensive player has much more value than any defensive player on the board. Especially one ranked number 1 at that position. Ever. We had a hole on the offensive line and it's filled. Our line has the potential to be scary good.

Drafting for need is suicide. We are still alive and kicking today so I'm pleased with our draft. There was some serious talent brought on board through the draft and the UDFA's.

Never draft on needs...

Just watch the Bears set themselves back 5-7 years.

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.
Jumps to get a guy with a attitude problem and a bum shoulder? No thanks.

Yes draft intelligently for needs. NOBODY needed Trubisky even close to that bad.

And yet, over the past five years, he's consistently ranked at or as the best we have...

Hey, I cringe and wait for a limb to fly out when he's in space, it's like watching Willard learn to dance in Footloose...

But other than some really nasty sacks by Ahmad Brooks, Country Boy Strief hasn't had anybody knock him off...

Ramczyk will learn from one of the best and really reminds me of Stan Brock...
