re: Kwon Alexander on saints not drafting lsu players

maybe they think Louisiana players can't do as well so close to their posse

Or maybe they fill the needs of the team and take the best player at a position of need when it's their time to pick. Nobody was going to use 1st or 2nd round picks on Kwon in the draft. In the 3rd round that year there the Saints picked up P.J. Williams who plays a lot in the secondary and Garret Grayson a QB from Colorado State that they hoped would work out eventually but it didn't and they cut him last year. That's the only pick where Kwon could've been taken but the Saints decided that they wanted to use their pick to find a backup for Brees. It's not like they're just shunning LSU players. If someone from LSU ends up being the best player available in a position of need they will take him.
