Please don't draft ? (1 Viewer)

With the first pick? The only positions that would really drive me nuts would be RB, QB, or WR.

I could forgive and/or understand anything else.

I need to preface this by saying that I love Glenn Dorsey and prey we end up with him, but at the same time am I the only one a little leary of high pick DTackles? I would love to see the percentages over the last five years of which position in the draft has had the most busts out of the top fifteen picks. I know there were alot of running backs in the late 90's that were terrible and a bunch of qbs but since 03 it seems like alot of dts have been terrible.

I'd like to know too. I'm not 100% but I thought I read somewhere LB and DT(I think OL was another) are two of the more safer picks, and CB and QB are a little more risky. I could be wrong though,

Yea I usually hear that WR, CB, and QB are some of the biggest risks in the first round. I think RB is sometimes hard to always nail, too.

Only found the last 3 years so far, not really alot of dts in there, lots of wr's, cb's though. Middle right of the page, I guess it could just be that draft with Sullivan that has me spooked. Take a look and see, sorry if Ive thread jacked

It sounds very relevant to me. No thread jacking going on.

I'll allow it.

Unless the guy is the next Tom Brady... I'm going with QB. However what I think now of the current crop is that the QB class is not particularly impressive. Of the top ranked QB's in this draft... I don't see any I want the Saint's to draft.

However in the next year or most likely two years... I think we need to draft a stud QB and let him learn from Brees ALA the Brett Favre - Rodgers approach.

If we can draft a WR that will be starting caliber next year or the year after in the first, I wouldn't complain too bad.

Also if we could replace Deuce in the draft, that would be great. However again, I'm not sure who we would feasibly be able to draft at #10 that would be really worth it. Raise your hand if you didn't see the Reggie injury coming after Deuce went down?

This is a defensive loaded draft... and our biggest need just happens to be defense. I'd be shocked if we drafted offense.

Final answer = QB. I don't want any of the QB's in the first round.

I have to say if Dorsey, Ellis, and DRC are all gone and the Saints can't find any takers to trade down, I would understand picking Clady. I wouldn't be "thrilled" like I would be if we got Dorset or Ellis or if we traded down for nice extra pick(s) and then got our defensive player at the lower first round position, but I would understand the argument. Any other offensive player, no, including McFadden.
