If we're not convinced a player can in a give immediate help, don't use a 1st rounder on him. Today's NFL isn't a place for "on the job training" when you have the 15th pick. Considering the lack of success with our 1st round selections lately, maybe they should trade down and get extra picks...Loomis seems to do better with picking later rather than sooner!
I'm pretty sure the Saints FO thought these guys would be playmakers right away though.

If Johnson isn't available or affordable along with Avril, surely being too spendy... in that case I wouldn't mind a one or two year affordable deal for a Freeney or Osi type of stop gap filler for a year. That sort of FA could enable picking someone like Dion Jordan or Ansah that may not be fully ready to step into 4-3 three down roll immediately.
As goat said tho, at this point could we have too much defensive line? How puny the front has been for so long I wouldn't mind a 1st & 3rd (or 2nd if back) devoted to it. Kinda like the Bucs in 2010 & 2011... they went DT-DT then DE-DE 1st-2nd Rds in consecutive years. Do a Ansah or Montgomery, then do a Okafor or Gholston in the 3rd Rd.
