No truer words have been spoken. Particularly the last quote. Big day tomorrow.

Thanks John

Go pick any random year, and pick the 32 best players drafted that year. Guarantee that at least half, and often way more, were not 1st rd picks.

Pretty sure we traded for both Vilma and shockey

Totally agree! Up voted! But if your referring to the Adrian Peterson signing I disagree. We got a Hall of famer on a cheap, team friendly deal. I totally agree with building a team through the draft. Just hope we nail these next few days!! Geaux Saints!

Yea, caught it. Been drinking.

Brees ,Sharper,Shockey,Vilma, Sproles were all free agents. 4 of those helped us win a super bowl.
Fair enough. Now name all the free agents we picked that ended up costing us a fortune and were disasters. I could easily fill up this page you are missing the point the writer was making.

Really in this sport you supposed to draft well, get great free agents, score more points and hold opponents to few points. That's success to winning.

Point is you build with the draft [very cautiously]
fill in the pieces with free agency.

Not always. Opportunities to build and or add comes in many forms
No, I get it. I totally 100% think you build through the draft. However, the biggest free agent acquisition in history of the NFL turned out franchise from a bottom dweller possibly headed to another city to a world champion. It's a mix of both.

Free agency is about opportunities not always filling in need pieces as well.
No doubt that was the Free Agent acquisition of a life time. Even that was a huge risk coming off the injury he suffered. Don't get me wrong I am all for taking advantage of free agency but it comes with a big
risk/reward. My point was the importance of a successful draft keeping a team from being so exposed to free agency.

Could say the same for just about every team in the NFL too

You could say that about every team. Much less expensive and longer lasting to build through the draft where you are not so dependent and exposed to free agency. You will run out of money and quality players much quicker trying to build through free agency.

Jonathan Sullivan set us back more than Byrd
