re: What's your Saints draft grade?

I am somewhat hesitant about the SJB pick. I'm in the (small) crowd that thinks we are set at corner.. I have faith in PRob and White. We spent a 2nd round pick on a guy who likely won't even play this season.. I would have rather reached for a 3rd round LB that was still on the board or traded down for an extra late pick.

I'm in that crowd that thinks we are set at CB for this season and the next, but this pick was about our long term corner outlook.

In 2 years only Lewis would have been left(Robinson is up after this year and White and Bailey the year after). We needed to get someone in, especially with Bailey as a mentor, to get them ready to take over.

Even if we do end up keeping White, I think he projects to a career nickel guy and his skill set is tailor made for that role. I would love to have Lewis, JB(if he works out like I think), and White as our long term guys.
