People that want a WR in round 1 just don't understand value, and the depth of WR in this draft.

Ford would be an excellent pick IMO. COrnerback I could understand too.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

Bingo!

The Saints offense has hummed along for years with just average WRs. It will continue to do the same even if the Saints don't take a WR in this draft. You can find a WR in the 2nd round who can be a great addition to the team. Hell, you could probably find a WR in the 5th round and be just fine.

CB is a premium position in the NFL, and there would be no reason to be upset if the Saints go in that direction. Likewise, I would not be upset if they went with a passrusher. A team can never, NEVER, have "too many" good pass rushers.

I agree going BPA, but it's not really fair to say that about those wanting a WR in the first. We don't need a number 2 receiver. We need a number 1 receiver. You'd be hard pressed to get one of those in the late second no matter how deep the draft is. We don't have anyone at WR right now. Our WRs are incredibly weak right now, and we don't have an elite running attack. We don't have a running QB, so how do you expect we score points? We need a number 1 WR. No way to get one except draft one. If they see a guy at our pick who they think is a number 1 WR, I don't see how we can pass that up.
