[Merged] Saints Select Clemson DT Bryan Bresee

Don't love it. Don't hate it.

We were picking for need. Had he not been picked by Cincinnati, Myles Murphy would have been the pick. After Murphy was picked, we were going with Bresee or Keion White, who is still a possibility at 40.

I admittedly remain irritated that our trade last year with Philadelphia has helped the Eagles become the NFC's dominant team. Howie Roseman is killing it.

Incidentally, in their final mock drafts, both Peter King and Bucky Burns did not show Bresee as a first-round selection. In his final top 150 list, Daniel Jeremiah had Bresee rated at 36. However, Bucky Burns in an earlier ranking of players by position had Bresee ranked as the second best defensive tackle, and Pro Football Focus (which I often disagree with) had Bresee ranked as its 21st best player.

And finally, Walter Football gave the Bresee pick a C, one of its lowest grades. However, Walter Football can be a joke in its outrageous opinions and seems these days to dislike the Saints very much because the team refuses to tear down and rebuild.
