And it listed Ellis as #1 and Dorsey as #2 overall, and then we ended up with Ellis at #7. It felt AWESOME to me that we got him. This mag was also dead-on with saying we’d take Porter in the second round in their mock draft.

I am stoked and can’t wait to see how it plays out this spring…

I’m intrigued by that Aaron Curry guy – I watched a few WF games this year, but can’t remember if he was any good in them. He sure looks like a good OLB to pair with VILMA.

I like Mays, too, and I’d be cool with us getting one of the top 2 corners, also.

It really will depend on what we get in FA and who we re-sign. Getting Vilma allowed us not to have to take Rivers.

I’d like Mays but he’s a physical beast and his stock will rise after the combine, but still he’s my realistic favorite. If one of those corners is available we’d have to give them a good luck same for the linebackers if we lose Vilma. Anyway I’m counting(hoping) on us having a good free agency. If so, then I want to draft Taylor Mays, maybe move some pieces around and getting some more first day draft picks, hopefully to draft a center(there are more good ones than usual).

Everette Brown DE FSU

Atogwe in free agency, and Vontae Davis in the draft (Davis and Porter at the corners could be wicked), or Dunta Robinson in FA plus Taylor Mays in the draft. I’m afraid linebacker and defensive end are just going to have to wait.

I don’t think he’ll be around at 14, but I’d love to get him. Having him and Porter at corner would allow us to blitz more without getting totally scorched. I don’t think Mays will be there either, but I’d be down with him. I’m not as familiar with some of the others but it is obvious we need back 7 help.

I’d really like to see us get a center with one of our later picks.

If you think you’re innocent, you fight it to clear your name. It would’ve been better for the team to just fall on the sword though.

the last time we went with either of those positions when we were in the 7-9 or 8-8 pack of NFL teams, picking in mid-first round, which were the late Mora years of the mid-90’s.

Mark Fields and Alex Molden. I think it’s right that they were our starters for 5+ years or so and maybe had a couple of pro bowl appearances between them. That seems a bit underwhelming to me…and with the draft being mostly a crapshoot, I don’t want to lock too hard in on a specific position or two and miss out on an awesome player that may really help at a position that is not our highest need at the time.

Oh, no, here it comes again, I’m waffling into indecision and paralyisis already, and we’re not even into February yet. HELP!

Saints, I want us to trade down and get a few more picks. I think this post should be posted again in late Feb early Mar to see where we are with a DC and his scheme and the players that we going to pick up in FA. Well with that being said I like the safeties on the list Moore over Mays. The only reason I say that is because already have a run stopper, he NEED a ball hawk back there. Hell to be honest, wish we could trade down get Moore and still pick up a cover corner (Jenkins or Davis)/ or a faster LB to go with the VILL-N we have in the middle but I know that REALLY maybe asking for to much……

I like Moore too.

Moore will probably be there. i say get him

And the headlines include numerous highly regarded underclassmen (TT’s WR Crabtree, Mizzou’s WR Maclin, Bama’s RB Coffee) coming out to enter the draft.

I selfishly say, “Keep ’em coming!” The more of these kind of guys in the draft pool (I’m looking at you Sam Bradford), the better chance we have at getting someone we like at #14 (or getting a team to trade into that spot).

unless mays, brown from fsu or curry is there. i don’t think any of those 3 would be there, but i definitely think we could trade down a few and get vontae davis or william moore a little bit lower (laurinaitis, a possibilty, also). if we trade down, hopefully we could get either the 2nd rounder from the shockey debacle or at least the 3rd rounder from the vilma deal back. i go to the draft every year and am really pumped for this year – i want to go all defense, except maybe a big back/o line later, but we have to get vilma back in free agency first!!!!

I wish Saints fans would understand that we have virtually no tradable assets.
Again, we have no tradable assets.
Stop suggesting them.
Robert Meachem cannot be traded for Lito Shephard. Or a second 1st Round pick. Nor can Devery Henderson.
