re: Two Of The Top Mockers Have Us Taking A Tight End

I guess it could happen, but I just don't see it. I don't think the Saints feel there is a big enough gap in talent between the TE's who will likely be available at the end of the 1st relative to those who may be available at the end of the 3rd. Plus, other than Grahm, the Saints have tended to go with more veteran TE's.

I get the feeling Payton is going to love someone at another position better than a TE at that spot. A TE like Ian Thomas might be someone to look for in the 3rd round. He could be similar to Graham in that he's raw, but athletic, and someone who might just be scratching the surface of his ability. Might be a guy you kind of work in while Fleener and Watson handle the load
