I'd like to address the secondary through FA, if at all possible. It just seems that it takes awhile for corners/safeties to develop, and we need help NOW.

On the other hand, linemen and linebackers seem more "pro-ready" right out of school.

With all candor, I base this on nothing but the 4 hours each week I spend watching NFL football.

Reid is better in coverage than Harper IMO. 15 is way to high for him though. And I don't think he's the 'playmaking' type of player this defense needs.

Montgomery will be a solid NFL DE. He's no different than Cam Jordan or Will Smith though. And what did that get us this year?

I still hope Jarvis Jones falls to us somehow. There are DEs in FA. The draft, FA and this team is lacking in quality OLBers.

He'll likely be gone before we pick.

The Saints should NOT go for Montgomery and especially Reid. he was pretty bad this year.

Jones will be gone for sure. No doubt about it.

If you want a OLB, what do you think about Mingo?

I think they should go for DE. I like the guy Margus Hunt. But there are some good DE's in this draft and I would say that's where they should go. As someone else mentioned, if we don't get our 2nd back, I wouldn't mind a trade down to get 2 picks.

I have a feeling Montgomery is going to have a huge game and everyone on this board is going to salivate over him. I do not care to have him fwiw

I could definitely see him going off today. I like him but I just don't see him as game changing and the Saints need game changing.

I believe in Junior, Cam and Martez. I think we move up to around 10 to snag Jonathan Banks. Dee Millner will go before him and Banks Is better.

I took the liberty of looking to see how the picks have shaped out since '08. Very solid contributors with some top flight talent mixed in. Pay particular attention to just the #15 pick since '08. Nice names.

2012:
10 Buffalo Bills Stephon Gilmore CB South Carolina
11 Kansas City Chiefs Dontari Poe NT Memphis
12 Philadelphia Eagles Fletcher Cox DT Mississippi State
13 Arizona Cardinals Michael Floyd WR Notre Dame
14 St. Louis Rams Michael Brockers DT LSU
15 Seattle Seahawks Bruce Irvin DE West Virginia
16 New York Jets Quinton Coples DE North Carolina
17 Cincinnati Bengals Dre Kirkpatrick CB Alabama
18 San Diego Chargers Melvin Ingram LB South Carolina

2011:
10 Jacksonville Jaguars Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri
11 Houston Texans J.J. Watt DE Wisconsin
12 Minnesota Vikings Christian Ponder QB Florida State
13 Detroit Lions Nick Fairley DT Auburn
14 St. Louis Rams Robert Quinn DE North Carolina
15 Miami Dolphins Mike Pouncey C Florida
16 Washington Redskins Ryan Kerrigan LB Purdue

11 Buffalo Bills Aaron Maybin DE Penn State
12 Denver Broncos Knowshon Moreno RB Georgia
13 Washington Redskins Brian Orakpo DE Texas
14 New Orleans Saints Malcolm Jenkins DB Ohio State
15 Houston Texans Brian Cushing LB USC
16 San Diego Chargers Larry English DE Northern Illinois
17 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Josh Freeman QB Kansas State
18 Denver Broncos Robert Ayers LB Tennessee

2008:
10 New England Patriots Jerod Mayo ILB Tennessee
11 Buffalo Bills Leodis McKelvin CB Troy
12 Denver Broncos Ryan Clady T Boise State
13 Carolina Panthers Jonathan Stewart RB Oregon

15 Kansas City Chiefs Branden Albert T Virginia
16 Arizona Cardinals Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB Tennessee State
17 Detroit Lions Gosder Cherilus T Boston College

Does seeing this offer any insight to some of you or change your opinions?

Here's what Walterfootball predicts will be around in the 10-18 range for this years draft.

Dee Milliner CB, Alabama
Dion Jordan DE/OLB, Oregon
Eric Fisher OT, Central Michigan
Jonathan Banks CB, Miss St
Johnathan Hankins NT, Ohio St
Sheldon Richardson DT, Missouri
Chance Warmack G, Alabama
Mingo LSU
Sam Montgomery DE, LSU
Kenny Vaccaro S, Texas
