I remember in 2006 when the Saints made a trade with Philly and took Jahri Evans (I believe in the fourth round).

I can remember a lot of people losing their minds because they took some dope from school they never heard of because Max Jean-Gilles was on the board.

There were two reason why people did this:

1. Some guy I saw at Georgia is better than some nobody from Bloomsburg.

2. Jean-Gilles was high on Mel's list, and Evans was not.

And then it becomes an echo chamber from there and everybody shows how uninformed they really are.

I never even try to pretend that I know anything about players expected to go beyond the 2nd or early 3rd round. It's way too hard to predict at that point. There is some logic you can use to try and guess what will happen in the early rounds because that's where teams pick up the most starters to fill their current needs .. But late round picks are never chosen for that reason so it's conceivable that any team will take any position. There's no reason to even try to predict something like that.

So beyond the first few rounds I am happy with whatever decisions the team makes. Hell, I'm happy with whatever they do in every round (after I've had time to accept it - a la Jarvis Jones / KV debacle).
