yeah, the Saints have pivoted in a different direction the last few years than what people think they might do.
and even Cam Jordan wasn't necessarily somebody I thought we could get. He fell to us because a lot of teams picked a QB that year. C. Ponder to the Vikings for example... what a bizarre pick. I'm sure their fans were kind of like WTF?
Robinson is a good player but sometimes when a prospect seems like a slam dunk it scares me. I don't have any good reasoning for being a skeptic. Obviously some of the stuff I said last post was oozing with sarcasm. Except the part about becoming a fan of his right away if we picked him. The defense is in a bad way right now with depth so we need all the help we can get.
one thing I think would be cool if we did do it would be to double dip in Rounds 1 and 2 on the D-line since the class is full of prospects. A few years ago the Panthers did that with Lotulelei and K. Short and look what they did this past year when healthy at the same time.
having said that, I'd rather see us get a starter in free agency if possible and then draft D-line in Round 1 or 2. Still a little worried about player development under Bill Johnson. Course, if you hit on the right player with great talent and work ethic that wouldn't be a problem going forward.

1st Round
1st choice - I would prefer to complete the LB Corps with Jack or Jaylon if either are available.
2nd choice - Best Defensive End available - Really like everything I have read on Dodd and the talent pool will be much more shallow there by our 2nd pick as oppose to DT where the depth there this year will allow us to come back and still get a great value player at the same position in round 2.
I would not lose my mind over going DT 1st but It would be wiser IMO to utilize the depth of the draft at the positions it is offered so we can address as many needs as possible with impact players vs BPA.
Depending on how the draft unfolds you would be leaving later picks to be used on reaches due to the position being ravaged before we could address it leaving you with less impact starters and potentially more busts.

The thing to remember when considering Alabama players is that the NFL has a PED testing program. Colleges are allowed to choose what they test for.
Coincidence that so many Alabama players don't live up to expectations?
