It's not though but y'all can try to make it that. I am Mark Ingrams number one defender to anyone who says anything against him to me in person. I have said why I think Landry is better multiple times in this thread and only one person responded with actual football reasons. I am a fan of the Rankins pick but the Saints have had a lot of misses and it makes people worry. I did a study on the 2010-2014 drafts and their results before last year and the Saints had one of if not the worst results.

Yeah, it sucks we drafted a high caliber player at a major area of need. I would need to be sold on this as well.

They've done okay in the first round though:
2010 - Patrick Robinson - Bust
2011 - Cam Jordan - Starter
2011 - Mark Ingram - Starter
2012 - No Pick
2013 - Kenny Vaccaro - Starter
2014 - Brandin Cooks - Starter
2015 - Andrus Peat - Probably our starter at RT
2015 - Stephone Anthony - Starter

Not too shabby for the first round. Now rounds 2-7...no arguments here. Awful.

True and some will argue whether all of the starters have had 1st round production is a question. The problem is with the addition of all the rest of the rounds the drafts have just left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouth.
