Despite defensive needs, Saints pick offensive tackle at No. 32
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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 ...

Re: Despite defensive needs, Saints pick offensive tackle at No. 32
The more I ponder this pick, the more I like it. They didn't reach for a player, nor did they move up and lose picks. After getting the #1 CB, the Saints stayed at 32 and picked up a #1 or #2 OT. We needed depth and maybe even a starter on the line. I don't think anyone will argue how important it is to protect Drew Brees in the next few years.
As much as I wanted Foster, this pick feels safe and successful. We've done pretty well with Big 10 O linemen in the past. Now let's go get Tim Williams, Zach Cunningham, Curtis Samuel, and Jordan Legget. |

Re: Despite defensive needs, Saints pick offensive tackle at No. 32
The issue with Strief is his lack of foot speed... Once he gets beat he doesn't have the athleticism to recover...
That's the way I see it |

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... |
