You can easily say the need for a DE & CB were 1a & 1b. The Saints took the player who they rated as the higher graded prospect amongst the players who were available. While CB was indeed a position of need, how confident are you that this regime took the top defensive player at a position of need this past draft? In 11 drafts under Payton, the Saints have managed to draft 3 Pro Bowl defensive players. Cam Jordan, Malcolm Jenkins & Roman Harper. Jenkins Pro Bowl appearance didn't even occur with the Saints yet we as fans are supposed to trust & believe the front office made the right selection in the 1st round this past draft? The overwhelming evidence suggest otherwise & that the organization doesn't have a clue as to what to look for in defensive prospects.

I'm not suggesting DE was not a need but we've been sliced and diced in the secondary for years.

Never seen a team go for two at the end of a game and if they don't make it lose the game.

I think if ML was not there the pick was DE, even if it was going to be a reach.
