I'd be p^ssed if we took Gesicki were Taven Bryan or Leighton Vander Esch still on the board; our front seven on defense is still way too light. But I'd prefer to move back a few spots at that point and then take NT Harrison Phillips or TE Mike Gesicki.

You're right about the big target problem on third down and red zone attempts, and signing Cameron Meredith will go a long way in solving the big target dilemma.

You don't always have to solve that problem with Tight End.




Definitely. We need to upgrade opposite Cam Jordan - that should be our priority in this draft.

And I'm not sold at all on the Demario Davis signing - one good season and now will uproot and reestablish in yet another defense?

I'd prefer Leighton Vander Esch if he somehow fell to us...
Don't forget he'll have Nolan as his coach here. He very well may be better than ever.

That’s a very good point AG. Davis is very intelligent and has the great athleticism to go with it. I guarantee Mike Nolan ID’d him as the guy he wants leading the LB group.

Yes, that's fair and important distinction to make as I've often beat the drum for Nolan myself...

Still, not sold on this signing and the amount of money involved - have to wait to be proven wrong in the Fall which I'd gladly embrace as a Saints Fan...
