The Saints are a flashy and flair-tastic team, but what they lack, and what brutalized them throughout all of 2007 was their complete lack of toughness. With all the talent positions virtually in place, this was a team that needed to bring in some mental toughness, some people who can bring pain rather than just execute the play, and some brute physical strength.

The Saints' Draft reflects that mentality. DRC and Pat Sims are two strong efforts to upgrade their poor defense. Now they've got a CB who's more athletic than most of the WRs he'll be guarding, and a 2-tech that's harder to move off his spot than a California redwood. I loved Lichtensteiger as a late-round big ugly, and Silva in the 7th was an intelligent steal. The Saints are tougher than they were before. Add in a little flair with Keller and Jackson and you have yourself one of the best Drafts in the mock.
