Just think about how badass out offense could be if we did the same? We've been leaning on just Drew (deservedly so) for awhile. It's time to give him a weapon to be reckoned with to pair with Jimmy to let Brees go all out Brady 07 style


Yet Grahm was a 3rd rounder. The point is, you can find great WRs, TEs, RBs in the mid-late rounds. It's much tougher to find great pass rushers, OT's or cover corners later on in the draft.

The Saints will probably do what they always do, try to match the BPA with need, but not "reaching" for a lesser player just to fill a need. They sold out to get Sed Ellis to fill a need and he flopped. To an extent, they did the same for Ingram. Last year, a pass rusher seemed to be a much bigger need than a saftey. However, they thought Vaccaro was the best defensive player on the board. That seemed to have worked out this year.

Concise. If your team's cupboard is empty then push but that isn't the case here.

I sort of agree. You can find gems, but you're just not gonna like out and find the next Calvin Johnson or Randy moss in the later rounds. Yes this team has excelled at finding those gems, but you can't just count on that. It's time to give Brees a weapon that can be a force on their own. Graham's a monster in his own right, but he's at his best when we're not trying to force the ball to him in triple coverage. We need someone on the outside to make teams respect our speed and not just jam and throw everyone off their routes
