i love the potential of kevin king (at FS or CB) and need a pass rusher, but i don't think we could pass on Cunningham if he's there at 42. he's just such a safe pick and can immediately contribute at WLB and in a few years takeover our D at MLB. i think long-term he's just the best overall value

i like the pass rushing of williams but if we're going to go with a draftee who is just a 3rd down, pin-your-ears-back and rush guy, there are some other options later.

Willis gone? Bashem? Plenty of other rush ends gone?

I'll lean Williams in that case.

I don't care. Just make sure you have the highest value defensive player on the board and make it.

stop sucking Tim Williams off, he's undersized. Saints need to draft Jordan Willis

Cunningham. Safest bet, highest rated player left and will probably be there.


I could honestly see them taking Cunningham and then trading back up into the 2nd to get Basham or Willis. It's what I hope they do anyway.

If these 3, give me cunninham.

For the record, I'd rather Willis or bowser at 42.

I'm not in love with those guys. King is probably the best of those guys but doubling up at CB that early. I don't know.

I'd probably go Cunningham and then hope I can get Tanoh and Rivers in the 3rd.

I like King if he's there, which I don't think he will be. Otherwise, I like Cunningham. If both are gone, I love the Willis pick. Also the freak from Connecticut would be intriguing.

Of those three in the OP I'd take Cunningham. Tim Williams might still be there in round 3.

Not sure king fits our defense. Esp after the Browner and SJB debacles. If CB I like Awuzie who I actually think can play some safety.

Derek Rivers would be my edge pick if guys like Lawson or Willis go. I like Cunningham too

I've seen Cunningham in person a few times this past year.

Very solid player. Never makes mental errors, comes in clutch at big moments, made some nice open field tackles, and has plenty of size/athleticism to play in the league.

He's not going to be Ray Lewis and he doesn't have freakish measurables, but the guy will be a very sturdy LB in the NFL for a long time.

He just needs to add about 15-20 pounds and more time in the weight room. Vandy isn't known for their weight training.

ETA:

Would love the Saints to draft him.
