If Vernon Hargreaves falls to us do we take him?

After being consistently mocked for months between #6 and #9, a number of mock drafts now have Hargreaves falling past #12 due to his lack of elite speed and height. Do we take him if falls to us?

quote:

Vernon Hargreaves would be a godsend for a Saints defensive backfield in need of stability. Nobody knows when New Orleans native Keenan Lewis will be healthy enough to return to regular appearances, and second-year draft picks Damian Swann (concussion) and P.J. Williams (hamstring) are also coming off of injuries. Even after Delvin Breaux’s timely appearance as a top-five cornerback in the NFL and the re-signing of solid nickel corner Kyle Wilson, there’s a visible need at corner in 2016 and beyond. If available at their pick, Hargreaves could very likely be the answer the Saints are looking for.

I wouldn't be mad. We could use a CB. Would definitely put it as a higher need than S, but not higher than DT or G

The Saints have two starters and depth at the CB position. If he's the best player available they may take him but I doubt it. They have bigger issues at other positions

Not interested. We have enough guys that look like they'll be Servicable or even good nickel players, and I don't trust his size outside.

Plus, CB isn't even close to a big enough need. I'd be disappointed with any DB except Ramsey.

CB is a need, but not a 1st Rd need. Pass on him, take one later.


Id rather William Jackson anyway

This draft is deep on the DL. If you think Hargreaves is a lockdown corner then you can take him in the first and get Butler or Jones or Ogbah in the 2nd round. I'd be ok with it.

Yes, CB is a need, and DL is a deep position.

We are terrible at drafting DBs. We have much bigger concerns on this team. No thanks.

He would be a solid pick a #12. I don't think there would be much argument with it.

No. He's going to be a bust.
