re: Do the Saints really need a DT at No. 12?

With the amazing depth this draft class has?
I understand the thinking, but I personally disagree with that philosophy when it comes to positional depth in the draft. Just because A guy will be there later, doesn't mean THE guy will be there later. Meaning, no two guys are equal, especially at DT. Different guys have different strengths, weaknesses, and fit. Plus, if you skip DT thinking you can just "get one" later, and there is a run between your picks, you risk either reaching on one, or missing out on the quality of the position all together. If your guy is there at 12, and is the highest ranked on the board, go for him.
With that being said, DT isn't a MUST at 12. WLB and Edge rusher should also be in play there. Knowing the Saints though, they'll probably go with a lesser need like S or CB.

I agree
We need an impact interior guy, like Sheldon Rankins
And DEN has stud interior lineman

yep, same.
A handful of those 25 D-line players Kiper has graded that high will also be a bust. That's just the way it is and has always been.
I think its great the position is loaded this year in the draft and we have a relatively high pick just outside of the Top 10. We should be able to get a really good player. No need to get cute and wait and see who falls and take a guy in the mid-to-late rounds in my opinion. I hope like hell we pick up a D-lineman in free agency who can come here and be a starter too. I think if we do that then we might not necessarily have to use the 1st pick on a D-line player. But even then I still think that it would be a good move. We had absolutely no depth on the line last year and to make matters worse the same could be said about the LB's too... because of the injuries.
I think its a no brainer on what position to take.. D-line first then LB second.
But I'm with you, we'll probably take a corner or something. LOL
