I wanted the Saints to take LB Navarro Bowman with second round pick instead of OT Charles Brown.

WR.Jordon Mathews out of Vandy instead DB Stanley Jean Baptist. Even though Stanley John Baptiste was drafted where all the draft experts had him slotted in the second round.

La'el Collins 7th round...

How? The Panthers picked 1 spot before us and we got Vaccaro. And he's been a decent but not great player for the Panthers.

more explosive football player.



wait, the Jarvis Landry that ran a 4.77 40 yard dash(compared to Snead's 4.56) and averages, on his career, 10.6 YPC?

lol

Jarvis is producing with a substantially lesser QB.




Landry gets 3 more targets per game than Snead does. That's a ton when all you do is catch 4 yard passes, considering most are converted into catches and not incompletions.

Vacarro is certainly not better than Reid.

You can have 40 targets a game, doesn't mean crap when you get shitty QB play.

Secondly, Landry is a more explosive player. I believe even you were arguing the difference between track and and football speed a little while ago.

Vaccaro is better at being an in the box safety than Reid is at being a traditional ss.

Tannehill isn't elite, but he's above average at best. How much better is Landry than snead?? The difference is miniscule

What are you talking about? Snead isn't in the same Galaxy as J. Landry. How can you even think of comparing the two. Landry is one of the top WR's in the NFL right now.

Landry is in the top 5 as WR's go and is trending upward. He was ranked 41 in the top 100 players overall this year as voted by his peers. Do you think even 1 player even considered to write down Sneads name?

I wanted Alec Ogletree the year we took KV.

but I mean when most of your Defense is suspect.. its hard to go wrong with the pick.

as long as you are picking defense.

I am by no means saying Snead is better than Landry. I just wouldn't call Landry this world beater superstar wide receiver. He's really good, but he IS NOT a top 5 WR. That is just kinda laughable

We could've had DeAndre Hopkins in 2013. He's been dynamite playing with those dud QBs in Houston. He'd be unstoppable playing with Brees.

Those top 100 lists are BS. JJ Watt himself criticized them because he was included pretty high in the list when he barely played last year. Not to mention those lists barely include OL. Then you have guys like Tyreek Hill, Legarette Blount, Clay Matthews, etc. making the list over guys like Cameron Jordan, Jordan Howard, and Mike Thomas. Dak Prescott (already ranked higher than Matt Stafford) will most likely end up higher on that list than Drew Brees. You got to consider most of the players only watch tape of players they're going up against not all the players on the league.
