If we get a OLB in this year's draft, we'll be better positioned for the future in both of those two examples.


While I agree with this, we have a lot of holes to fill on our defense, as well as a few on O. We need some playmakers on rookie contracts and trading back would net us these. A late first and late second could be a starter and a solid backup/situational starter.

Unless it is with either Minnasota or San francisco I don't see the benifit of trading back.

Best way to improve a defense is to get to the QB. In a 3-4, that's the OLB position. The draft is a bit of a toss-up, regardless of when you get to pick - but I'd rather them go for more of the "sure thing" at that spot. Again, yes, we have holes in the defense that I'd like to see repaired. But a strong pass rush is a bad secondary's best friend. I think the Lewis signing was a good investment in the secondary as well.

LT: Greatest need imo. I'm hoping we still pick up someone in Free Agency for this hole. Wouldn't mind 3rd or 4th being used for this as well.

WR: They still drafted Toon last year. I still think he was a good pick and will likely work out. But Payton is a genius at finding diamonds in the rough on offense.

Backup QB: Liability not to shore up this position. If Brees goes down it's pretty much a bumpy road for us no matter what.
