Could Saints draft DeSean Jackson? (1 Viewer)

[Saint Droopy]

This draft is DEEP with WRs... so taking Jackson at 10 would be strickly for his return ability rather tahn his WR skills. Whatever the FO decides will be OK with me... its not like I/we have a voice in the war room anyway right? :dunno:

I won't pic bomb, but threads like these are why I try in earnest to avoid the SSF from the week after our last game ends until training camp





Also there is a four-page long DeSean Jackson thread on here somewhere.

i seriously might cry or more likely punch a hole in my plasma tv

words cannot express how entirely awful that pick would be. we dont need a 5'9 165 lb return specialist

there will be options defensively at #10. i would rather curtis lofton at 10 or talib or even rodgers-cromartie than desean jackson.

thinking about it grinds my gears

i might be shoping for a new tv if we draft desean jackson or maybe a new team.

Trade down.

But I doubt everyone we want will be gone by then. It would be a huge mistake to take ANOTHER WR in the 1st round. There will be plenty of return specialists available in the later rounds.

First of all the entire drafting strategy that would involve picking DeSean Jackson at #10 is pure conjecture. In fact every indication from the Saints has been that they will draft defense, so there's really no reason for anyone to get all riled up, threatening to abandon the Saints.

Second of all, no that would be equally silly to pick a defensive player just for the sake of need. I thought that had been addressed numerous times on this board.

He is well known for having a Big Attitude, and there were some rumors that he was causing some problems/issues within the Cal team this season. I say pass.

Why not just ignore the thread then??

And sorry I didn't go three pages deep.....I DID look first....

Thanks for participating


And to restate *my* position, I hope they don't take him. I just noticed several boards had him as the #10 slot, and got me thinking if we would do that.

My position = the mushroom cloud (supported by some of the responses contained here). I'm not bagging on your thread, per se - more like the idea that we'd take DeSean Jackson. I'm as anti-Jackson this year as I was anti-Ginn last year; thankfully, some other team took him first

nowhere in my post did i say i was going to abandon the saints. never have since i was old enough to watch and never will

that being said, bpa is a solid strategy when you have a good team without many holes. like the hated patriots for example. THEY can afford to take the best player on the board. we cant. we have too many holes on d and if we want to fix it we have to be like other teams that have spent the last few years addressing D in the draft like green bay for example and build up the team that way

its not like taking someone who is "graded" as about the 15th best player at the number ten spot is that horrible. he still would be a great talent and would be a BETTER fit for our team because he would be able to immediately contribute and add some youth to key positions on this defense.

like everyone says, if you arent getting better, you're getting worse. we need guys who can start at key positions on D NOW
