As for the pick:

I don't think either of the safeties will be available. I don't think the team will take a CB even though that's the most popularly mocked position.

...rookie CBs often struggle. It's a tough position to adjust to in the NFL for whatever reason, and I don't think the team will be comfortable going into the season with Lewis, Verrett, White, Robinson...too many question marks there. I think CB will be priority #1 in free agency--a strategy that has worked for the Saints twice now in recent years.

That keeps leaving me thinking T or WR...wouldn't surprise me if Strief is re-signed...also wouldn't surprise me if we roll with Bryce Harris and Marcel Jones...Strief stepped in and did a pretty good job out of nowhere....maybe the Saints are expecting the same type of thing for this season...the Saints under Payton have placed more emphasis on the guards and let the tackles go...they could take a T in a later round if this is the situation.

that leaves me at WR...value-wise this year, it may make more sense to wait til later rounds, but I could see the Saints taking Beckham, Benjamin, etc. with the pick.

2012 PFF loved Victor Butler in limited snaps...would like to re-sign Haralson and call it a day at outside LB...Rufus Johnson is still around...wasn't he on the active roster for one of the playoff games?
