I don't think we draft NT in the first round with Bunkley on our roster.




arguably the most important piece in a 3-4 system. Bunkley didn't play all that well last year. He's possibly a cabable starter but for how long? He's on the lighter side, how will he hold up, will he take on enough blocks for the rest of system to thrive? Even if he starts day 1, we really have no viable backup IMO anyways. I'd like for Hicks to be put in a position to focus solely on the bookend of the line and not be moved around. Hicks is a physical freak who can thrive there.

Well we know the Saints have talked to Brandon Williams at the Senior Bowl, who will go later. So maybe they think they can do better later on.

I think they will pick the BPA that fits some need, so it just depends who is there.

Bunkley's best years were when he was the NT in the Broncos 3-4 defense and was reported as he looked natural there
