Saints Draft Days Official Thread

I'll be highly disappointed if the Saints pick a QB tonight. Mostly because I would only give Burress a first round pick of all the guys in conversation. I don't want to see a WR, either. With Thomas and Sanders, plus whoever emerges from camp, and whoever we pick up later, we are in good shape there. LB, OL, CB, DL have to be the areas to improve.

That's been the problem though, no one at WR has emerged from camp in years. That's why we keep rolling out Trequan and Ginn, who are quite frankly awful. Imagine having Thomas, Sanders and someone like Jefferson, then being able to put Deonte Harris out there as the 4th receiver / gadget play guy.

All this talk in training camp about Emmanuel Butler and he couldnt even make the active roster on gameday.

Great point. I was super high on Tre'quan, but nothing has developed yet. And Ginn has faded a bit more every year. I think it's our lack of draft picks that makes me want to focus on other areas. And I feel its easier to find a WR free agent than those other positions.

I agree mostly. I want to see a LB first. Not a great draft for OL but Payton has found some gems in middle rounds in the past. I would still like us to pick a WR in the 3rd. Brees is going to need all the help he can get. Everything else BPA.
