The draft is going to be very important...

Did I say we did? I think we have a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th. I know we traded a 5th and 6th for Leonard and Tyler...the extra 6th came from the trade with Oakland last year to move back in the 7th and pick up munnerlyn. If I'm missing something someone please let me know.

Besides that I think the DT class is too deep to pass up...I would love either geno atkins or lamar Houston in the second. But then we have to address WR and DE later in the draft. We could bring back brayton and I think I saw a thread about maybe Brock. But we won't make a big splash in free agency.

I really like the potential in the younger guys who will be stepping up...but for every guy that steps up leaves an open area behind him, like the situation at LB, DE, OG, and QB. We have to bring in some guys to be backups or even push the starters...a few injuries would devastate this team right now. I know there is a long way to go but I would consider the possibility of moving back in the 2nd and grabbing up some more picks.

is that you Captain?

We've got to use the first pick for a WR, Jarrett isn't the answer for a 2, he will make a nice 3 though. Got to get someone that can catch 50-60 balls this year or all the cuts were for naught and this team will still have the same weaknesses that it's had for the past few years.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
