2nd Round Tight End

IMHO, Shockey is far and away the best choice for two reasons -

1. Experience - he is a known quantity. Any player taken in the draft is an unknown in the NFL.

2. He is a much better blocker than any of the 4 draft selections above. Davis is primarily a receiving TE. A TE in the Saints system MUST be a good blocker. None of those guys could hold a candle to Shockey in college, let alone the Pros. He is easily one of the best blocking TEs in the NFL today.

Clearly, IMHO, Shockey for a second is a much, much better deal than drafting ANY TE in this year's draft. And if I were to draft a TE for the Saints, it would probably be John Carlson out of Notre Dame. IMO, he is the most well rounded TE in the draft and the best fit for the Saints. I love Davis - he is just not a good fit for this team.

Bottom line - Shockey, in this scenario.

JMO.
