How About Jermon Bushrod for a Second Rounder

In short, the answer is no.

Well, you may be right. I remember how big of a game he had, but I dont remember if it was all Bushrods fault. Again, he was good enough to win the superbowl. Breese was on of the least sacked QB's in the league.

Brees also is a great QB who has pocket awareness and knows when to get rid of the ball, and also his line is just very good in general (Jahri Evans is an All pro Guard, Carl Nicks is going to be just like Evans, Stinchcomb's a great RT, and Goodwin is an above average center)

Maybe post-draft, if Bushrod has not signed his tender and we didn't get the linemen that we thought we might, then we might consider such a move.

Does that mean if we do it prior to draft we would have to give this years second rounder? I think if we could get him for next years second then it would work well for us.

I could be wrong but that is what I was thinking.

Thats a pretty lofty expectation to compare a very good player to the best in the game:

Scouts and coaches think Jahri Evans of the New Orleans Saints may be the best guard in the NFL.

From out of nowhere, Evans at top of NFL - NFC South Blog - ESPN

The Saints line really didn't play all that well last year, I would say Brees and his ability to get the ball out quick was the main reason he wasn't sacked more.

yeah im not really sold on bushrod. the guy was a 6th or 7th round pick, got playing time b/c of injury and did a decent job. he is also a local kid to MD and i think he played at towson or somewhere close.

i wonder if people view him as being better than he is b/c he did better than expected for a plug-in a 6th or 7th round pick? or maybe also b/c the saints didnt face alot of adversity this year so, when your winning games, alot of criticism (man im having a rough day for spelling) is quieted.

quieted, is that even a word?

Whats this? A QB making his O-Line look better then it really is? You don't say.

The top tier guys can do that. Trouble is there's only a handful of those guys. The rest of the league needs a good line.

Yes, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning will make their O-Line look better....any chance they are available next year?
