He's huge and very strong. I like shorter D linemen.

Eh, Tunsil will probably be a great player but T is probably our lowest need after QB. Despite what some people say teams do have to draft based off of need to an extent. It's a balance.

Always have felt that if we had a top 15 defense, we would have won at least 2 more superbowls. Especially in 2011.

The last Saints 1st Rd pick I predicted successfully was Jordan. Expecting to be just as happy.

I like his upside too. He clearly exerts extreme inside pressure- screaming NEED. His style reminds me of Donald and old school he actually reminds me of Sapp.

Fairley/Rankins with Jenkins/Davison is a stronger DT rotation than we have seen in some years.

IF Larinaitis can just be solid and provide leadership and IF Byrd can produce, coupled with an improved line- THEN the middle of the D would also be stronger than we have seen in too long.

I like the pick. Top player at a position of extreme need. Good get. Now get Ogbah in the 2nd and I'll be super stoked!

He'll be a decent to very good OT, but from what film I've seen, I think Armstead is better and a more athletic talent.

I don't see Tunsil being an all-pro bookend, and his issues in college and character issues (see incidents like tonight, and with Nkemdiche) and I don't think he's worth it.

Robert Gallery was a similar can't miss prospect years ago, and he was mediocre. Oher has a great story, tons of hype and he's been mediocre.

I simply think he's overrated and not the best talent by far in this draft like some of you think.

Unless you are fricking psychic, there is really no rational way to criticize the FO for taking a guy at a position of extreme need who was mocked in the top half of the first round by everyone.

I'm reading Falconslife.

I can tell y'all that Falcons fans are NOT happy that we took Rankins.
