#1 JR to Raiders: With his arm, Oakland will throw it deep every other play. He'll have to learn how to get rid of the ball in a hurry behind an awful offensive line. #14 Laron Landry to Panthers: The secondary did a good job last year, but it could use more big-play ability. Landry gives the Panthers some options. #28 Bowe to Chargers: San Diego must, must, must give Phil Rivers more players to work with. If Eric Parker and Keenan McCardell are the wide receiver answer, you don't want to hear the question. #30 Patrick Willis to Saints: The Saint linebackers are fantastically mediocre. Willis would be an upgrade. http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/6386116
if Willis, who is the nation's best LB, is on the board at 30, they will be dancing for joy, and will take him, no matter who is there at CB. the free agent CB class is real deep this year, so they can always look there.
This guy should have mixed in a spellcheck. He's got the entire Georgia team going to the Rams at #13, and mentioned, "Can you saw..." at the Miami pick. :rofl:
Agreed, no way the Saints pass up Willis. They didn't need a RB, but they took the best player available when Bush fell in their laps. If Willis is still there it would be a similar situation as he would easily be the best player available and LB is one of their needs.
I agree, plus the saints are so bad at CB they can't wait until the draft to address that need. Look for the saints to pick up a couple of CB's in free agency and then draft for the other needs.
Patrick Willis = Demeco Ryans You do not pass up on a guy that will shore up the run defense especially when you just lost the NFC Championship game because you couldn't get the defense off the field. Nate Clements would make a fine addition to the secondary in replacing Fred Thomas via Free Agency. Lance Briggs would look good next to Willis, opposite Scott Fujita, too.
I still contend that if you build the defense around a great front 7, you can hide deficiencies in your secondary. We must pick a MLB. Simoneau is border line horrible. Shanle almost as bad. But I would rather a fast MLB like Willis. He will be a high impact player from game 1 next season. I say we get the CB we need thru free agency. I think we will need a DT thru free agency as well as we probably won't sign Hollis Thomas. He is too old. He had an outstanding season but I can't see him duplicating that next season.
No way in hell the Chargers pick Dwayne Bowe at wideout...they already have a huge receiver in Vincent Jackson....they will try and pick up another big defensive player either DL or DB! Yes the recievers are not outstanding, but they have other positions that need depth!
