SUNDAY TALK with a Big Bowl of GUMBO, Smoked CRAWFISH, a Cold HURRICANE w/a mini WHO DAT Umbrella, and Coach PAYTON back in Camp...SAINTS 2013 DRAFT Picks and Grade...#WHoDatBiz

Yes it was an year not to remember for the Saints in many ways including the biggest...the "Bounty Scandal". They had a new D-Coordinator in Steve Spagnuolo and who couldn't stop himself and no Lead Man Payton and that Juicy Fruit Gum by Wrigley flowing near the Head Coached Ear set. The Saints scored but that "D" wouldn't stop you as every team they played has a Who Dat Toll Pass. What did the Saints do to stop all that bleeding on "D" as the "O" is locked in and ready to go as long as they have Mr. Brees in the Pocket.

2013 "WHO DAT" Draft Picks and Grade #GotCrawfish

Round Pick Position Player College

1 15 SS Kenny Vaccaro #HookemHorns

3 13 OT Terron Armstead #ARKPineBluff

3 20 DT Jonathan Jenkins #BetweenTheHedgesU

5 11 WR Kenny Stills #BoomerSooner

6 15 DE Rufus Johnson #TarletonST

Vaccarro was the first Safety off the board in a draft loaded with quality safeties. A thumper to day the least and has to improve his angles in coverage but the best safety in the 2013 Draft. Now the Saints sign Roman Harper back look for Who Dat to use all three Safeties at the same time as FS Malcolm Jenkins can cover the Slot or Tight End. The Saints and Steelers were looking at the same to guys and if the Saints took Steelers #17 Pick UGA's OLB Jarvis Jones...Steelers would have taken Vaccarro. Both get the Picks right as they needed more with what they drafted.

Armstead was unknown until Combine and he is massive and athletic. Word out of Saints Camp is that he may be a day one Starter and I liken him too a little of former Saints OT and 2012 NFL HOF from La Tech...Willie Roaf. Saints might have found themselves a gem at Tackle.

Jenkins was a 1st rounder at least on the board earlier in the 2012 College Season. He anchored that talented UGA D that had three backers, both Safeties and Corners, and two down linemen go including himself. That is Nine of the eleven starters getting drafted. He is an immovable force and athletic and agile for a Man that size and should help that Saints "D" up front especially with DT Sedrick Ellis of the "Men of Troy" leaving in free agency. Day One Starter for that Saints D.  

Stills was a steal in the 5th round as the Saints Weapons are getting older and they keeps Brees an NFL-Ready Type and Saints-Type WR that can run routes and blow by you. Reminds me of Former Irish and current Seahawks WR Golden Tate.

Johnson a Defensive End adds to the Depth and most likely will move inside behind the likes of 2013 FA Pick Up Victor Butler from the Cowboys and 3rd year Saints Backer Martez Wilson of the Fighting Illini.

Overall the Saints get three Day One or "Plug and Play" Starters in Vaccaro, Armstead, and Jenkins with Still getting on the Field a lot...Overall Grade A- and all
four are super-talented.
