Draft Reaction · New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints just picked their future. Here's the verdict.

This draft has me all sorts of discombobulated, like trying to find parking on Bourbon Street on a Saturday night! Where y'at, cher? The New Orleans Saints took a defensive lineman, Zxavian Harris, and yeah, we needed some beef up front, but after a 6-11 season, I gotta wonder, was this the *big* splash we needed to turn things around? The Dome needs to be rockin' again, and for that, you gotta get some playmakers. Don't get me wrong, our defense always plays with heart, but last year, our offense felt like a second line parade without the brass band.

Now, Zxavian Harris, he's a big boy, six-foot-four, three hundred pounds. He's gonna bring some power to that defensive line, help stop the run, maybe even get some pressure on the quarterback. You know we love our defensive linemen in New Orleans; they're the unsung heroes, the backbone. But with our record last season, sitting at 13th in the NFC, you gotta think about making a bigger statement, no? It's like going to Dooky Chase's and only ordering a side of collard greens when you really want the whole fried chicken and gumbo! We needed a feast, not just a snack.

The mood in New Orleans? It’s a gumbo of emotions, baby. Some folks are shrugging, saying "It's a start," while others are yelling louder than a trumpet player in Jackson Square, wanting more. We want that magic back, that feeling like '09 when we brought home the Lombardi. This pick, it's... cautious. My grade for this draft class, right now, is a solid "Humbug." Who dat, cher — from the Tremé to the Dome, we never stop believing.

You know Keith and them always got the real talk in the morning — catch 'em on mornings.live, yeah.
