Like you said for defense. Just because you draft an offensive player in the first round doesn't mean our offense will improve

That's why the Saints go for Best Player Available philosophy. Who do we think will have the biggest impact on the team? Like many have said, it's a defensive heavy draft so I see us going that direction but if the guys we project are not there and Austin is the highest I'm fine with it. We need some depth at NT, though. FA will determine a little more.

Exactly my point. You pick the player you think will be the best on your team, have the best career, have the biggest impact, and be the best value where he is being picked.

If that's Tavon Austin...so be it. A legit playmaker at WR as well as a PR/KR is a need in my opinion.

Obviously, LT OLB NT S are bigger needs...but if the Saints have him rated high enough over any guys at those positions, then you pick him.

Let's just say that for the sake of argument the following players are gone when we pick:

DT/NT: Floyd, Star
LT: Joeckel, Fisher, Johnson (Warmack gone too at OG)
OLB: Jones, Mingo, Jordan, Ziggy

Who do you go with?

Another CB? What if the best player, by far, is Tavon Austin?

What if no one is offering worth a trade down?
