re: If Vernon Hargreaves falls to us do we take him?

If, and it's a big if, we have all our CBs healthy next year, then we should actually be fine there. But I wouldn't be against the Saints picking a CB, especially someone like Vernon Hargreaves or MacKensie Alexander

I agree that it is absolutely a gamble to hope for health at CB. We do have good players but we are banking on a few things happening for them to be good as a unit, namely health and PJ Williams playing to his potential. I get that.

But, the difference between that and our other needs, are that we are basically completely talent devoid there. We do not have anyone who has any chance of being even moderately above average at guard. Same at DT (Fairley aside, 1 year deal), and DE opposite Jordan. There is no one in there who could be healthy and improve that position, or who has explosive upside. It is either add improved players there, or we are bad. Black and white. It's much more grey for corner. I do mostly proscribe to the BPA approach but Logic tells you that SOMEONE worthy of 12 at a position we need a lot more will be there (like Rankins or Lawson).


Basically, I'd rather gamble on health at CB and improve a different position where we have nothing to gamble with.
