Payton Era Draft Picks

At the time of the draft which 1st Rd Pick did you think was best? Which one worst? Same thing out of the other rounds?
I go positive on Ellis cuz I thought he was good value that met the need. Meachem was my biggest disappointment. I wanted TE Greg Olsen. Out of the rest, last year was really exciting to get Graham at that spot and equally that they traded back in for Tennant cuz I thought he had a 2nd-3rd grade. Mehlhaff seemed like a desperate reach even in the 5th. He wasn't that good.

Worst 1st round is Robinson...but it's still early. Best pick overall is obviously Colston.
OL picks have been pretty solid.

Like everyone, Reggie we THOUGHT was the best...no doubt.
Malcolm will probably wind up having the best career of them all though.

Best - Reggie with out a Doubt. I thought he was going to be unstoppable.
Worst - Meachem

Look how many studs they picked up in 2006.
Definitely thought Reggie was the best at the time. Everyone thought he was going to be a monster.
I was excited about big sed and Malcolm Jenkins as well. Mostly because I am a big fan of Jenkins and Big Sed's a beast.
Below the 1st round, I was most excited about Jimmy Graham. He's a superstar in the making.

jimmy graham has the highest ceiling of any player listed.

LOVED the Reggie Bush pick.
Hated the Meachem pick. I wanted defense.
Loved the Ellis pick.
Liked the Jenkins pick.
Was indifferent to Robinson. I liked it for depth, but thought there was still good value on the board at other positions that we needed more.

Sedrick Ellis was easily the biggest no-brainer of a pick. We needed help big time and we got good bang for our buck considering what we were supposedly willing to give up for Dorsey.
Meachem was the worst pick at the time given who was available and our gaping needs on defense and at TE (I remember Miller was still there and some LBs).

misunderstood the point of the post haha.
Loved the Meachem pick strangely enough and hated the Bush pick.

At the time, best Ellis b/c that was a great need
Disagreed most w/ Meachem
Anybody want to stroll through Memory Lane and remember Alex Molden...?

If anyone says anything other than this, they are probably lying. NOLA celebrated big time when he fell to us.

In all honesty, these were probably the one's I thought were the best for the value of the pick. Shows what I know.

I probably disliked this one the most. I really wanted Greg Olsen, Joe Staley or Paul Posluszny.

I loved the MJ pick. Perfect all around player for our needs. Thought Vaughn and Arnoux were going to be pretty good too. I was wrong.

Best- Malcolm Jenkins. The thought of him playing CB or S had me sold.
Worst- Robert Meachem
Going into that draft,2007, I wanted the Saints to pick Lamar Woodley. Right before the draft, Charles Grant got that huge deal. Had a feeling picking Woodley wasn't likely anyway, just liked him.

Best #1: 2008 1 1 7 7 Sedrick Ellis DT USC
Worst #1: 2006 1 1 2 2 Reggie Bush RB USC (based on Return on Investment) Still waiting for the potential to turn into production. I really thought he had turned the corner in the 2009 playoff games but since then he has run backwards, danced and lost yardage.
Other Rounds Best: 2010 3 3 31 95 Jimmy Graham TE Miami (FL)
2008 4 5 29 164 Carl Nicks T Nebraska
2006 8 7 44 252 Marques Colston WR Hofstra
Other Rounds Worst: 2007 4 4 8 107 Antonio Pittman RB Ohio State
2008 5 6 12 178 Taylor Mehlhaff K Wisconsin

Of our 8 pics in 2006, you could argue that without the first 2 and last 2 (so 4 out of 8), the Saints may not have won the SB. Looking at it, Reggie is the only one that did not pan out to what we expected (but our expectations were very high).

I hated the Bush Pick( wanted to trade back a few spots and take AJ Hawk) I thought he was really overrated coming out of USC
Meachem- I didn't hate or love this pick but I was really confused why we didn't go Defense here.
Ellis- I loved this pick it filled a huge need
Jenkins- I loved this one as well. We needed secondary help bad.
Patrick Robinson- I never heard of this kid when we took him and didn't know why we drafted at this position but it worked out this yr with all the injuries at CB

I won't lie. The Reggie Pick had me the most excited.
Didn't like the Meachem pick, wanted Olsen.
Always liked the Jenkins pick though, Saints needed a DB and they got the best one in the draft.
The other rounds, I always just hope for the best, and try not to get too excited about anyone.

WR Hass could have been good, but he could not stay healthy.
