Comes down to free agency. If we can grab a good DT in FA, then Phillips should be a no brainer, and vice-versa with Ellis.

ellis b/c its starts up front

Ellis is tempting but i'm sticking with my assessment that

When it comes to a playmaker S>DT>LB

 

[St.Ryan]

The love for Kenny Phillips on this board is insane. Kenny Phillips is not that talented and certainly not a leader. Look at that program, there's no sense of leadership anywhere, just a bunch of selfish players. Their own high school recruits called them out. 18 year olds called out a major D-1 program. The Saints would be wise to stay away from anyone in that program right now.

If those are the options, the pick should be up in half a second. It's Sedrick Ellis. He's the game-changer. Rivers, while physically talented has alot of Mark Fields to him IMO. Good player, but not a big playmaker. Ellis is the playmaker for USC's D, but even he doesn't come without any reservations. Their coaches have apparently told announcers that Cushing is their best D player. There is so much talent on USC's D and they're not dominant. So somewhere, maybe everywhere, they are simply overrated. From what I've seen of Ellis though, I like.

Sedrick Ellis.

And we will need to trade up to get him. If not, Kenny Phillips or trade down.

kenny phillips is listed to go mid to late first round, to early at 10

 

[Ryan]

of those 3, ellis because i beleive he's the most talented player. we need a safety (and a linebacker really) much more than a dt, so i wouldn't be upset with phillips either. i'd rather larinaitis or conner to rivers though.

Ellis. Ellis. Ellis.
We need that push in the middle SO BAD. He's a guy who can give it to us.

 

[whoami]

Ellis!!! We can get a impact LB's in later rounds. We can get serviceable S also later.

 

[GUTTA NATE]

I'd voted Ellis, like others said we need that pass rush in the middle and finding a 3-tech is pretty hard to find.
