He’s not a Saint.

for all of the 3rd and 2’s we can not convert.

 i believe we will lose a few games again this year because we will not be able to get the 4th quarter short yardage first downs needed to close the deal on a victory that is in reach. i would have liked to seen them select Wells. at least he is a threat to convert the short yardage. payton and gang missed the boat last year in round two by passing on hometown talent matt forte and this year…. well lets hope i am wrong.

love the saints since birth in 1971 and have suffered the toughest of years. honestly i am silly happy that they can compete. and am glad there is a forum like this for discussion. hats off to the Canal Street Chronicles

Since Jenkins was there at 14, I’m glad they got him. If he had not been there, then a trade down would have been preferable. Payton said they weren’t getting many trade-down offers anyway. Jenkins fills the teams biggest need and he’s widely touted as the best DB in the draft. We were lucky to get him.

Admittedly, Arrington hasn’t proved himself yet…but everyone who saw him last pre-season is salivating, waiting to see what he can do in a real game.

Besides which…I bet Morstead would have still been there in the seventh. And if not, there will be plenty of free-agent punters. There was no reason to give up two draft choices.

My charming posts would have been no more as they would have had to ban me for abusing the english language.

Cause.. we dont need no RB.

That was probably the first time I’d seen his name mentioned.

I think William Moore at safety for the Falcons will be fun to watch. As in, fun watching the Saints toast him and force his reassignment to linebacker after week 8. (sorry, DTF)

But Vaughn was actually well-regarded, and projected at pretty much where we got him. Plus, jful called Arnoux…so somebody here was on top of it. Besides, I remember distinctly last year being surprised when, out of all the available corners, we went with Tracy Porter. Look how that worked out.

I think our draft worked out to a good, solid B…falling short of A only because we had so few choices. If Morstead actually turns out to be the second coming of Shane Lechler, I’d grade it an A. (Don’t forget…three picks are already on the field in the form of Jonathan VIlma and Jeremy Shockey. While the Shockey trade is still questionable, there’s not a single player in this draft I’d rather have than Vilma.)

They count.

Love you, X. I don’t always agree with you, but for some reason you shake my convictions and make me reassess. You’ve been on here almost a year too. Thanks for the balance.

Chip Vaughn will start by week 4 and will spell Sharper from the beginning. The kid is big, strong and fast with excellent football knowledge. With the aggressive D we will play under GW, I fully expect Chip Vaughn too challenge Jenkins for the most impact as rookie on the Saints roster….

I’ve gotta say I never thought Vaughn would be available to us in the 4th, and Im glad we got him.

I’m not a fan of the punter pick either, but I don’t think it was that big of a reach. I would rather not have given up the 7, but the fact that they traded next years 5, not next years 4 makes all the difference to me.

I honestly had never heard of any of these players except for jenkins (or at least I couldn’t remember hearing of them) but to be fair, I hadn’t heard of Colston or Jahri Evans either. Only having 4 picks hurts, because chances are at least 1 or 2 of these guys won’t stick, but we’ll see.

we could use a veteran like that or…..

RESIGN DEUCE!!!!!!
