Please read context before posting. TIA

Owa has as many injury concerns and isn't as good of a pass rusher.

Owa had one hip surgery that kept him out a year but that's pretty much it. He's been healthy otherwise his collegiate career. Kikaha has had 2 knee injuries. Much more worrisome IMO.

Plus, Owa is much, much better against the run tho. Plus a better athlete.

And Owa's was 2 years ago. I still think 2 knee injuries are more worrisome than one hip.

I'm not going to to defend why I like Owa over Kikaha. I watched the tape and read the reports and formed my own opinion. But it's over now, and a moot point.

I said in my original post I though Kikaha would be solid.

I rate this draft a 581 v# out of 19

That is my perfect information appraisal

B+
After reading more on PJ Williams think we've gotten 3 big time defensive contributors who'll play tons of snaps immediately. How the line will shake out is a concern but Peat was likely BPA and building the line isn't a bad thing. Time will tell how Grayson turns out, can't really judge now. WR and DL are still a concern.

I don't get all the hate this has been one of the better drafts in the last couple of years. Peat was somewhat of a stretch and we're full at tackle but he's still a solid player. Stephone Anthony is a pyshical freak and the leader of the #1 defense last year.

Kihaha is a sack machine who may not be the fastest but his size could help out with run support. PJ Williams was a complete steal and watching him during the season I thought he had first round talent. He's a physical corner who likes to hit and is instinctive in coverage and Grayson is an accurate passer who could be good under brees for a couple years.

I'd honestly rather be in that position and have a good qb under brees for a couple years than be stuck like a lot of teams hoping we land a qb in the draft that has to start in week 1. Hopefully tomorrow we can pick up a WR like deandre smulters who would be a complete steal.

Exactly man, I cannot stand when people say "Well we could have had ________ in the next round". How can people say that? That don't know shite. If a player is on your board that you want and in the spot you want him you take him. You don't wait and see if he's around for the next pick. That's ridiculous.

People need to be happy we haven't drafted like the Panthers. Trade away picks to move up and pick a WR with a +9% drop rate to go along with your other receiver who drops a ton. Also drafting Shaq Thomson in the first. Id give us an A++ compared to that shite

I'm confused by the hate. Peat has the potential to be the best OT in the draft, Anthony play at ILB on Day 1, an ultra productive pass rusher, and a pretty good corner in the 3rd round. A potential future QB is just extra at this point.

A WR ain't a big deal in the early rounds with the ones we find and as long as Brees has his protection now.

We are terrible at drafting
