    He sucks! I'd put my 7 year old up against his knowledge base. I love when Kiper dogs him out, and MK is usually right.

    The look Kiper has on his face when McShay disagrees with him is frickin' priceless. Is it just me or is Kiper hilarious? Just his general mannerisms. Love that guy.

    Back on topic: I personally don't think the Saints should take a RB in the draft unless the opportunity is too good to pass up. Like Ridley being there in the 7th or something. All of our problems with RBs this year were due to injury. No RB or PT for most of the year. We lost Donnaldson(sp? I think), P.J. Hill, Lynell Hamilton before the season for the season.

    I think our biggest needs are basically the same as they were last year and most of the experts Kiper, etc. are projecting us to draft accordingly. We still need a DL who can rush the passer and an OLB. Casillas may help if we get him back healthy, but we are getting no consistent pass rush when we rush 4 lineman and that is critical. I hope we get a great DE. If one doesn't fall to us then Cameron Heyward, Ironhead's son, would be an interesting pick. He is projected to go about 26th right now. He looked good in the bowl game and has the bloodlines of course. Anyway I hope we can get a good DL or OLB via the draft are free agency. Anyone have any strong opinions on DE's including Heyward?

    Isn't Kiper the one that said the Colts were stupid to pick Peyton over Ryan Leaf? :)

    No, I don't think so. I think he chastised them for not picking a QB at all one year. Can't swear to it though.

    I'm with you, but isn't he considered an ILB? If he can't play OLB, (maybe he can), it doesn't help too much because we have Vilma.
