re: Official Saints 2009 Draft Topic

MB is about one hit away from eating through a straw for the rest of his life. I'd pick up a UDFA.

Requesting Sticky.

Two things:

1. We don't need to draft a backup QB. I think Brunell is done, but in case you haven't looked at the roster, Joey Harrington is still here. He's not a starter, but he has experience and can play in a pinch. Problem solved. Kudos to Payton and Loomis to addressing this during the season, when they could. One less thing to worry about this offseason

2. The weakest link on this team for the longest of times has been cornerback. That is no longer the case. We have a young and talented Tracy Porter, a developing talent in Usama Young, an aged, but still servicable veteran in Mike McKenzie, and some capable backups in Randall Gay and Jason David.
The weakest link on this team, PERIOD, is free safety.
Harper is not bad; he's a strong safety, who's priorities are run first, pass second, so he is servicable.
However, KK is too old and slow, and Bullocks just has no clue. We have not had consistent over-the-top help in the secondary for a loooong stretch now, so long many have forgotten that a defensive is SUPPOSED to have over-the-top help.

Free safety is what we need, no question.

finally, somebody gets it. the lack of help in pass coverage from the FS safety position has been a GLARING hole on this team this year, and has made some of our corners look much worse than they acutally should be portrayed.

If you are playing a Cover-2 and you find the corner running 1-1 with the wideout on one side of the field and that is the ONLY receiver running deep on that particular play, you have to ask yourself at some point WHERE IS THE *$#@ safety help??!

On offense, maybe franchise LT in the draft and possibly a long-tern RB. Maybe even a legit #2 WR in the free agency.

No offense, but this is a little ridiculous. Offense is pratically SET.

Left Tackle: We have Jammal Brown. He's one of the better one's in the league. Just because we violently SEE Brown's mistakes when Drew gets sacked, there is a reason we are one of the least sacked teams in the league, and he's a big part of it. No need for a left tackle THIS YEAR.

Long-term runningback: his name is Pierre Thomas. Pierre needs a back up and speller, but that is NOT a priority. Pierre has proven to be a legit back in for our offense this season.

"Legit #2 Receiver": His name rhymes with "Dance Lore." Enough wide receivers. Not satisified with Lance? Ok, i'll bite. We have Adrian Arrington coming back. Why draft another receiver when we have a talented one already on the roster??

LINKdraftcountdown has curry going in the top ten so he might not be on the board when it is our turn.and they have us takking james laryngitis they also think vilma might not be on the team next year , but it made me think can he play olb?
just tought id share

but you have to remeber all the penalties, who knows he could go back to probowl form like i said before the nfc south has great pass rushers so we need to be able to stop them

He's slow as balls in CFB which is worrying in the NFL much less getting moved to WLB in the NFL.

Keep in mind by replacing Brown you also get rid of Stinchcomb's mistakes(and lack of run block production) by getting his arse on the bench
