So I got thinking.

All this take of Best player available and the fact that we dont need the best player if they are say a QB.

Some of us hope a LB falls to 14 and we snag him up to help the front 7.

Some of us hope that we take a CB so we can buy JD a bus ticket to another city.

Personally I think if we stay at 14 we will take the best of either postion thats avilable. But what by some quirk of fate we have to make a choice?

Poll

Assume that we have the 14th pick. We are on the clock and its up to YOU to make the next pick. The 2 best players on the board are a LB and CB Which do you take?

Take the LB - Put him outside.

7 votes

Take the LB - Put him inside and move Vilma to WLB

0 votes

Take the CB

10 votes

Trade the pick away to take a wide reciever. Causing mass hysteria in Saints fans everywhere.

I don't know about you guys

But I’m a huge fan of Brian Cushing and I HATE Davis. So, I’d go with a nice OLB.

I’ve already said pretty much the same thing elsewhere, but I like what I see in Cushing. Davis…eh. I don’t hate him, but every draft the internet is abuzz with overrated cornerbacks. I feel a lot more sure of Cushing than I do of Davis or Jenkins. I guess that’s what “the safe pick” means.

The thing I like about Cushing is his motor. The guy plays like a wild man. He looks to have enormous upper-body and arm strength, and good rush speed. If he’d improve our blitzing he might be more useful than any cornerback.

Also, I don’t know that Vilma would stick with us if he thought we were going to move him outside, and there isn’t anyone in the draft that I know of that looks to be a better middle LB. Certainly not Laurinaitis.

Oh when the Saints...Start kicking ass...You don't want to be in that number...

I'd go CB

Based on an interview with Vilma found here

Scroll down to the Feb 5 archive section. Apparently, Vilma likes our LB’s. If he says so, then it is so. Therefore, we take a DB…

Alright...I'm cool with Harper. Bullocks must go!

What do you expect him to say

about his teammates? I bet if someone asked him about the cornerbacks, he’d back them up, too.

Last night, saw a 2008 retrospective on NFL Network of the players they mic’d up during the game. They showed the long version of Payton shoving Vilma, pregame. Vilma looked shocked that this little white man was jumping his chest. He said something like “Hey now” or “Watch out”. Then he made that 3rd down play and came to the sideline and shoved Payton back. The guy shoves the head coach around. Vilma’s a badass.

So many provocations, so little time.
