re: Was our draft a success last year?

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.
Anthony struggles picking up systems. I mentioned this in my original breakdown with him. He lost his spot as a freshman at Clemson because he struggled so much. He will pick it up. By his last year he was the stereotypical "coach on the field".
Having said that, some of the coverages we ran last year were laughably bad. I know Anthony is athletic but the routes we had him covering were hysterical. Half the damn time Julio Jones lined up in the slot we were asking Anthony to carry him down the seam. There's not a MLB in the league who can do that.
So yea he wasn't elite, but we asked him to do things no one could do. We didn't put him in many situations to have success.

He did fine consider ing he was thrown into the fire with the after mentioned issue+another rookie and an off injured/ellerbe or scrub

we didn't do a good job covering TE's either. The first game against Carolina was awful. Its as if they were cool with letting Greg Olsen run free on underneath routes and so once he caught it there was no one around so he was able to turn it up field for a nice gain.
I'm not really sure who was drawing the TE the majority of the time but it seemed like nobody had a clue on the field either. Then one time we matched up Brandon Browner on Jordan Reed in the Washington game... that play didn't end well.
