People freaking out about them trading picks. They still ended up with the same number of players if they had done nothing

9 picks last year = averages out to 10
5 picks this year averages out to 10.
Total number of draft picks in the past two years = 20.

Well, there is the hope that the 2 injured corners (Swann, Williams) come back and pan out. They looked promising, or at least physically better than Browner. If they were just raw, that should be better now.
Weren't they both ahead of Breaux early on?

now imagined had we manufactured more picks in this draft.
mind blown.
like i said in another thread this morning, it is a systematic problem by our franchise over a 10 year period, which has proven to fail time and time again. Our lack of draft picks, and draft pick success has put us in a bad cap situation, and more importantly, a lack of talent and depth.
Which comes full circle, because that is exactly the reason we had extra picks in 2015.
Our 2 top pass catchers, and mid round steals, Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills= TRADED
Ben Grubbs, dont know how he graded last year, I think he got hurt, but i cant imagine it was worse than our Guard plays.

I usually don't agree with Lester, but even Mickey admitted the other day in his presser that he loves to trade up. In fact, he said he'd rather trade up to get a guy than trade back. So that explains the past of the Saints rarely ever trading back. Mickey just doesn't really believe in it.

and when has trading up really paid off for us?
We have the least amount of picks of any NFL team over the last 10 years, 5 years, and we have little to show for it.
Even our solid starters in Cooks and Ingram, it hasnt been worth it.

There's no doubt that trading up and ending up with fewer picks every year isn't a good philosophy. Especially when they don't hit on a high percentage of the guys that they move up for.
Posted on 5/2/16 at 2:33 pm to Lester Earl
I'm with you man. I think this year's draft will really pay off for us. But we really need to focus more so on building through the draft. These high priced FAs have come back to bite us more often than they have actually worked out. Hopefully last year's draft and this year's are the start of trend towards a "home bread" approach

Im sure they looked back at the past drafts after 2014 and said frick this, get Jeff Ireland here NOW!!!

Jimmy graham trade paying dividends.
Allowed us to trade up and get some studs this year

That you in your pic? Looks like Rowan Blanchard from Girl Meets World.

They were only ahead of Breaux because of them being draft picks and he came in as a CFL free agent. He probably would've jumped them both based on his performance this past season.

your breakdown got me wondering what the result of all those picks were. I know we can't assume that the Saints would have picked the same players had we stayed put, but it is an interesting comparison. here's the results (* denotes Pro Bowl player):
Saints trade:
Fred Bennet CB
Brandon Frye OT
Jerod Mayo* LB
Shawn Crable LB
Jerome Felton* FB
Caleb Campbell S
Brandon Underwood CB
Pat McAfee* P
O'Brien Schofield DE
Reshad Jones* S
Jorrick Calvin CB
Shane Vereen RB
Chris Prosinski S
Kevin Zeitler OG
Dion Sims TE
David Bakhtiari OT
Deone Bucannon S
John Brown WR
and receive:
Antonio Pittman RB
Sedrick Ellis DT
Carl Nicks* OG
DeMario Pressley DT
Adrian Arrington WR
Thomas Morstead* P
Al Woods DT
Matt Tennant C
Mark Ingram* RB
John Jenkins DT
Brandin Cooks WR
ETA: missed the last two picks traded away
