I like Ealy a lot more than Ford. I wasn't a huge fan of the Ealy pick until I read about Galette being able to void his contract after this season if he reaches 12 sacks. Ealy could be part of a fantastic 3 DE rotation that keeps everyone fresh and would be nice to have in the event that we can't keep Junior after this season. He definitely has the size to play both RDE and LDE whereas Ford would be locked in at RDE when we go with 4 man fronts, which is more often than not.

Yeah, I'd prefer Ealy over Ford as well.

I know some of you guys feel like we don't need more pass rushers, and yes, a lot of the sports analyst are ignorant that we had 2 guys over 12 sacks last year, but the draft is more about the future than the immediate.

we went after defense heavily in FA. I don't think we draft another defensive player in the first round unless CJ Mosely falls to us. I think we go O-Line or WR


Since Sean Payton has been in New Orleans they have taken the best player on their board. Now they are transitioning to the Seattle/San Fran type of defensive strategy and to do that they need a lot of good d-line and LBs. No one really knows how Butler will come back.

Then if this is true the Saints will likely only be able to keep either Galette or Jordan after next season.
