2nd round we needed another DL or guard. Payton doesn't get it doesn't matter how good the receivers are if you can't block for brees...just absolutely stupid 2nd round pick..

my bad news for saints fans is i really like our draft, even with the expensive trade up (when we may not be able to afford it)

Is bell similar to Jenkins? If so this is a good pick.

so we could afford to pay three DT's? one of which would not start? would that be most bang for our buck? we don't run a 5-2 or 6-2 front where we could start 3 or 4 DT's. DWI.
you don't draft a G in the 2nd.

Really?

Bell is considered as a good cover safety that lacks physicality in run support. Pretty much the opposite of Roman Harper.

body type and measureables mainly. I think Bell is better in coverage, or i at least hope so

They're kind of complete opposites

Roman got drafted to play in the box and focus on the run

Vonn is going to play deep and cover dudes 1on1 in the slot

What? He's NOTHING like Roman Harper.

Bell can cover a teams #2 WR right meow.

Harper had very little cover ability coming out of Bama. He and Bell are two completely different types of safeties

We do need a guard but we filled 3 needs, DB, WR and DT.


We still need a legit DE and G but Kilaha can always play DE. Guard will be a question mark. But we just had one hell of a draft.
