re: Drafting a Safety

Marcus Williams and best part is we can get him in the 3rd potentially it seems

I like Marcus Williams in the 3rd as well.

Remember when CSP talked about the draft. He seemed to really point out 3 things & so far it's happening just like he talked about(he basically came out & told us their plan):

1. OL is weak in this draft & we might be forced to use free agency to address our need. Outcome = Signed Warford.

2. Safety is deep in the draft & you can get a solid guy past the 1st couple of rounds. This didn't sound like good news for Byrd at the time, b/c he wouldn't have mentioned Safety in the draft if they planned on keeping Byrd. Outcome = Byrd is cut & we haven't signed a free agent safety yet. I'm guessing the Saints FO is targeting the 3rd round for a safety(maybe 2nd round if Budda Baker is there & he's one of the targets).

3.RB is deep in the draft. Outcome = We haven't re-signed Hightower or any other free agent RB. I assume we draft 1(2nd/3rd round) or maybe even 2(6th/7th round). RB is probably the easiest position to hit on a guy in the 6th or 7th round.
