The ones left can be gotten at 42. We really needed to plug in RT. We still have a offense to upkeep and we need to maintain a top offense despite what people may believe. We have Brees, Ingram and AD that need a wall in front of them. He's rated as a top 25 player. It's a good pick.

If it was such a good pick why was everybody in the universe surprised when the pick came in? And why are some saying that the defensive players will be there at 42? That's 10 picks later, so I doubt they will all be there. I really didn't think I was the only one here sick and tired of watching a putrid defense take the field year in and year out. I"m sure the tackle we took is a great player where we got him, but he'll be standing on the sidelines watching while Drew Brees will be another year older and closer to retirement.

Sorry guys....just venting...I should have figured it was too much to hope we'd focus our first few picks on building a defense...maybe tomorrow the plan will come together and I'll be over this.
