More on Saints 1st round pick (#14) OT - Taliese Fuaga

You can define it however you want, but I like my definition (of course).....but to put it into proper context I would argue that need's are more immediate, wants are more how you describe future needs, and there is nothing wrong with taking BPA to fill a want (or future need if you will)....most of the successful teams draft in this manner IMO.....

I'd agree 100% with you if we were a solid playoff contender, but we just picked 14th after having one of the easiest schedules ever. IMO, this team needs an infusion of young talent across the board due to age and poor contract management. It's a different mindset.

LB's another example. Does Davis retire after this season? Will Werner be extended? We'll see about Willie Gay, but we don't really have anything behind them. Short Term- You can't expect each player to play every game, and you need at least one legitimate rotational player. Long Term- It's probable that we may need to replace both players next off-season with either low budget FA signings or draft picks. We have situations like this throughout the roster.
