LT is not a sexy pick, so everyone is going to get mad about that pick. If you do not have depth/skill at that position, you can hang up being one of the top offenses in the NFL. There's only so much DB can do, if he has no protection, he's no better than any other QB. I actually think it's possible the Saints trade up to get Fisher if he's on the board at 10. If AZ passes on him, I think we move up to get him, otherwise the trade costs too much. Sucks because if we had our 2nd, we could get a really good pass rusher in the 2nd. Oh well, who knows...I'm sure SP has something ready.

It took me some time to warm up but im trying to be very logical here. Bushrod is likely gone..and Brown is an UNRESTRICTED FA next year. What better way to prepare for that by Drafting a tackle @ that spot. The draft is deep with passrushers so its plausible that u can find one later in the draft. Since we are switchiing to the 3-4 it gives us flexibility in looking for PASSRUSHERS and not just a 4-3 style DE. Difference is passrushers come in all shapes and sizes and we don't have our hands tied behind our backs anymore.

Also i didn't want to do any trading back. So i tried to think what would be best player available@ this point and a potential need. LT as this draft isn't deep with them and like i said u can find a passrusher to fit the 3-4 in the 4th round.
