Usually by teams who can afford to develop them. With all the holes on our defense right now and with little money to improve it in FA, we can not.


Aldon Smith was drafted 7th overall while JPP and Irvin were both drafted at #15. I really don't think any of those teams really count as teams that could wait given that they were picking earlier than halfway through the 1st round.

It comes down to value at the position. If the Saints think they can develop him, then he's a valuable pick given his physical attributes.

JPP was in a rotation with Justin Tuck and Osi, they could definitely afford to develop him. Aldon Smith wasn't a project to begin with but he and Irvin were drafted to young teams, the Saints are not. With Brees getting older we need to get shite done now.
