If Solomon Thomas & Barnett are gone before we pick at #11...I'd rather pass on Taco & hope he falls to #32. Plenty of other good options at DE at #32 & #42 as well. No need to reach. That seems like the smart thing the more I think about it. Taco has a high ceiling, but also has high bust potential imo. Not exactly a risk I want to take at #11.
Nothing wrong with taking Hooker, Adams, Lattimore, or Foster at #11, then going DE at #32 or #42. Plenty of good options should still be available. Hopefully Thomas or Barnett are still there and it doesn't come to that though. DE is by far our biggest need and we need to get the best one possible without overpaying/reaching. We need to find a DE that is either a very good pass rusher/average run stopper or above average pass rusher/above average run stopper. It would be great to find a DE that is very good at both, but those guys don't exactly grow on trees. We're fortunate to have Cam Jordan...he's a very good run stopper/above average pass rusher.
Also, I'm not really sure I'd take Allen if he fell to #11. It's worth thinking about it, but in the end...I'd pass.

Taco, Barnett, and Solomon are all very similar to me. Solomon has more arse kicking. Barnett has a ton of experience and production. Taco has tremendous upside. It depends on what they want.

We choose Taco. But here is the catch. Every saints fan in the Dome on Sundays gets a personal Mariachi band who plays "La Bumba" and breaks out a free Tequila shot every time the Saints score. And yes, unlimited free tacos upon request.
Well when you put it that way I do feel better. Thanks bud
