That's how mistakes are made. You take the best player available within reason. That's what the Saints did. That's smart drafting. I think they got the best CB and OT in the draft.


The picks were at positions of need as well. It was a great draft.

I agree. They were needs for sure. Just so frustrating to see for months people say we HAVE to take defense and we HAVE to take pass rusher. That's not what a smart team does in the first round.

These two guys could be starters for us the next decade.

Agreed.

Willie McGinest said, "It's a need...one of the best players defensively in the draft...put him at corner for 5 years....not only fits but one of the best value picks in the draft...".

McGinest was very excited about the Saints Marshon Lattimore pick. Sleep well Saints fans.
