re: Jonthan Vilma a Saint

this is great news

yep, hopefully alongside Ali Highsmith

DRC will not make it to the 2nd round. We need to take him at 10 if hes still there. And then get another LB in the 2nd. Maybe Connor of Lofton.

i'm hearing that third is possibly in 09, and it might be a conditional 3rd or 4th

If we sign Samuel along with Vilma, I still think we can possibly sign either Dorsey or Ellis, which would be huge. The good thing is neither is best suited for a 3-4 defense, so if they get past KC at the 5 spot, they should easily drop to #9 Cincy, which is why we need to move to 8. Sorry, dude's if this makes no sense it's because I am fricked up beyond relief. I hope I can make it to work tomorrow.

It seems there is a slight chance that Conner can fall to the Saints in the second round and he is a big mean MLB. If he is availabe, should the Saints pick him up as MLB and play Vilma OLB? Vilma did run a 4.54 40 at his combine so he is fast enough to play outside.

Rivers will definitely not leave the 1st round nor do I think he is worth the 10th pick overall.

Vilma should play his middle linebacker. We finally get a pretty legit MLB and you want to draft someone else to take over that position? I just don't see the need. Yes I agree Rivers is too early to take at 10 overall, however he is the best linebacker in my opinion and can play outside. So why not trade down some?
