I thought we were hard on our players:
Matt McGuire's 2008 Mock Draft
Round One-
New Orleans Saints: Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami
There is a reason Jon Gruden felt he could throw the ball down the field against New Orleans with LUKE MCCOWN! It is because the Saints' defensive backs for lack of a better word, suck. Kenny Phillips is going to make plays for this defense. It is what they lack at safety - I mean come on, I give McCown credit but he went 15-of-15 against this defense on the road with New Orleans' season on the line.

The bad news is the Saints missed the playoffs. The good news is they're in position to draft Kenny Phillips.
New Orleans' secondary is garbage. The corners can't cover anyone, while free safety Josh Bullocks has been completely awful at times. Obtaining a play-maker like Phillips would completely improve the team's defensive backfield.

10. New Orleans Saints - Jenkins, Malcolm, CB Ohio State
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malcolm, only a junior is in my opinion the best CB in the nation. One could make strong arguments for South Florida's Mike Jenkins or Kansas's Aquib Talib as well. While determing who is the best corner may cause some debate their is no doubt the Saints must upgrade their secondary if they want to be true contenders for the Super Bowl.

14. New Orleans Saints - Jenkins, Mike, CB South Florida
The Saints took a couple of steps backwards this year and one of the main reasons for that is that they were exposed in their secondary. Mike McKenzie is one of the best man-on-man CB’s in the league, but his counterparts Jason David and Fred Thomas are not very good. Mike Jenkins is a real nice player from South Florida who is having an excellent Senior year and showing everyone that he is a First Round talent. At 6 foot tall he has good size and I am pretty sure he has the speed necessary to warrant this selection and would be an upgrade in area of major need.
Overall the concencus pick seems to be either Jenkins or Phillips.Hopefully our coaching staff will agree with this but for some reason I see a BPA unfolding where we end up with some player that we don't really need like a QB or RB.
