Pressley 6'3", 301 lbs. It sounds like he has a lot of experience but missed games due to numerous injuries. If he's given time to adapt to the NFL, get healthy, and not be expected to contribute early, this kid could end up being a starter someday. He's taller and slightly faster than Dorsey and Ellis but doesn't appear to have reached his potential.
Glad their building the front line and looking like we may provide a pass rush on the QB and stop the run.
I like the pick because I have heard of this kid while at NCState and he was a solid player. Depth at the DT spot is very important in the NFL and the Saints are lacking in that department. I could see the Saints taking a CB, S, LB, DE, DB, OL, RB, and/or QB with their last picks. Just depends on value and what they think they can cover in free agency. Think they will get a RB and/or QB in free agency so they will not likely go that route with their last 3 picks.
The Saints are minutes away from their next selection. I wonder if they still believe the Shockey deal can happen. If not, maybe this is the spot to target a TE.
Carl Nicks - 6'5" - 340 Big kid who played LT last year but more suited as a RT. Most of his ability based on his senior season where he started all year for Nebraska.
The Falcons just selected RB Thomas Brown from Georgia. Mr. Brown...please meet Mr. Ellis and Mr. Pressley.
