re: Tavon Austin at 15

Exactly my point. You pick the player you think will be the best on your team, have the best career, have the biggest impact, and be the best value where he is being picked.
If that's Tavon Austin...so be it. A legit playmaker at WR as well as a PR/KR is a need in my opinion.
Obviously, LT OLB NT S are bigger needs...but if the Saints have him rated high enough over any guys at those positions, then you pick him.
Let's just say that for the sake of argument the following players are gone when we pick:
DT/NT: Floyd, Star
LT: Joeckel, Fisher, Johnson (Warmack gone too at OG)
OLB: Jones, Mingo, Jordan, Ziggy
Who do you go with?
Another CB? What if the best player, by far, is Tavon Austin?
What if no one is offering worth a trade down?

Couldn't agree more with this whole post. The people on here freaking out over the suggestion of drafting a WR really need to calm down. If the staff sees Austin as the best player on the board at 15, you bet your arse that Austin will be the pick. They aren't going to pick a defensive player they don't like, just to pick a defensive player.
To the people freaking out on the OP: Have any of you actually watch how the Saints have drafted since Loomis and Payton have been here? I'm guessing not by the reactions.
I'll be the first to admit Austin wouldn't be my first choice. Of the players most likely to be there, Ogletree is first on my list, but I wouldn't hate the Austin pick. No one can deny that we are pretty thin at WR, especially a deep threat (even with Morgan).
To the OP: Shake the haters, bro. This was a very legit question.
