| Major decisions at OT too could play into the 1st Rd pick. Bushrod UFA: big bucks? keep for another moderate deal? Strief: up to snuff as a starter? Charles Brown: he looked much improved in preseason but we still do not really know the team's outlook for him. He might be ready to step up to starter or maybe not. If not Bushrod or Brown at LT then that becomes a huge priority whether by FA signing or draft. I'm draftaholic but we still don't have a read to even the vicinity of where picking. There's a giant chasm in talent from a top 10 pick to a #20 range. Reply • Back to Top |
| While I agree, if Bushrod tries to get a big deal that needs to be a priority, but I don't see how he would command that. He's been serviceable and pretty good at times. But if he starts spouting off wanting premier LT money, he can test the market Reply • Back to Top |
| I don't want Sam. Sorry. I think he's overrated Reply • Back to Top |
| I agree we have needs on the O-Line. I just don't see the front office pulling the trigger in the first round on O-Line. They like to get those later round gems. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: don't think he goes way bigger either. Still, he's at a $3.25mil base and over $4mil per year avg cap hit. That will only go up if anything. After being voted the best OLine a couple of times my inclination is to think some other team will value him higher than the Saints. Similar to Goodwin but more based on performance than age. Brown ready to roll in would be a great gain for the team in cap issues. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: This. Although he plays very hard. I just see him being another bigger,slower DE whose ceiling is will smiths career. That's fine for later but not worth a really high pick if that's where we go. This post was edited on 10/5 at 10:32 am Reply • Back to Top |

| Completley disagree. In football you can find talent anywhere with good scouts Reply • Back to Top |

quote: That sounds like the whole process of scouting, ranking, and drafting is meaningless. I agree that you can find players anywhere but the probability of success is what is tied to the draft position. Even a serviceable LT like Bushrod taken in the 4th Rd is not common. Most top notch pass rushing DEs or LTs either are higher end picks or never hit the free agent market. I rate the Saints scouting as elite with the number of gems they have mined.

| Just as an example, players selected 1-10 in 2007 nfl draft...Jamarcus Russell, Joe Thomas, Gaines Adams, Levi Brown, LaRon Landry, Jamaal Anderson, Ted Ginn Jr, and Amobi Okoye (I'm leaving out AP and Calvin cause they proved to be top talent) After the 10th pick there was Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch, Adam Carriker, Darrelle Revis, Lawerence Timmons, Leon Hall, Dwayne Bowe, Jonathon Beason, Joe Staley, Ben Grubbs Reply • Back to Top |
| If we had the # 9 overall pick I'd hope we are able to trade down for more picks. It's not as tho our first rounders have exactly been pro bowlers anyhow This post was edited on 10/5 at 11:09 am Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
