re: Was our draft a success last year?

Peat: He looked really good for a rookie at RT. The problem is that Strief was really good as recently as two years ago and I still think that he can bounce back. I get that Strief doesn't have many fans, even before his dogshit 2015 season, but RTs typically last a long time. Also, I think RT is the least important position on the OL, so I think that Peat has to be REALLY good to merit the top 15 pick. Still, I'm not as upset now about the pick as I was when it happened.

Anthony: Has shown flashes, but he was AWFUL in coverage. That was supposed to be his strong suit coming out of school. The skillset is there, he has to start getting it mentally. But that's the case for a lot of players that never DO get it. I think people are overreacting to his competence (rare for a Saints LB) and mistaking it for great play.

Kikaha: He fell off a cliff mid season, but he started off great and then was injured. I'm still very high on him. Higher than any other player from this draft.

PJ Williams: Who knows. Though I think his presence allows us to pass on a CB in this draft.

Grayson: Not a fan of this pick at all. Hope he proves me wrong.

Tull: Dunno.

Davison: Looked good at times. Not bad for his draft position.

Swann: If he can recover from the concussions, he looks like a GREAT pick.

I was never as big of a fan of this draft as most people. To be fair, I was PISSED about the Peat pick (wanted Parker, who finished last season on a tear), but have warmed up to it a bit. I think the biggest disconnect I have with most on this site is with Anthony, whom I think will be a subpar starter next next season. Hope he improves though.
