I am confused they are taking so many o-lineman. According to all of the breakdowns leading up to the draft, the Saints o-line was considered a strength. I can't believe they didn't take a quality DB as the secondary was a major weakness last year.
It doesn't matter now. The 49ers got him in the 7th round. I think he will make the team as the 3 stringer behind Garcia and Rattay, a good situation. Rattay is almost ready to be a starter for somebody but not likely the 49ers because Garcia still has a few good years left. No matter what the NFL scouts thought of Dorsey you can't argue with his record at Miami
I think San Fran is a good place for Dorsey. They run that west coast style offense that doesn't require a cannon of an arm. Montana thrived in that system, and I think Dorsey will make the team there, and he will learning a great system.
Here is a good article about the newest Saints first day in New Orleans. I really enjoyed reading it. ============================= Saints' top picks hustled, bustled in New Orleans April 27, 2003 By Jay Glazer SportsLine.com Senior Writer METAIRIE, La. -- It took all of 10 minutes into his visit at the Saints' facility for first-round pick Johnathan Sullivan to begin his NFL baptism. The New Orleans Saints' top pick had been on the ground just long enough to understand the Saints were not going to wait long to get their money's worth. "It is so good to see you, we're really excited about having you here, Johnathan," defensive coordinator Rick Venturi said, pouncing as his newest starting defensive tackle entered his office. "While I have you up here and before you go meet the rest of the guys, I want to go through some film of our last game and explain our system a little bit. I want you to see what you'll be doing out there." The rest of the article...
Why did the Sanits pick up two more WRs when we already have Joe Horn, Jerome Pathon, Donte' Stallworth, and Jake Reed? I don't understand why we didn't pick up any DBs. We could also use some depth at the RB position, and at QB too since Jake Delhomme is gone.
Joe Horn is 31 and Jake Reed is 36, so some youth will be needed eventually. Reed isn't even listed on the Saints roster on the web page either.
