yeah he was bad but no worse than cie grant or arnoux or davis tull.


Toles was a first rounder, the other two, not.

I will never forget Jim Haslett praise for Cie and Sedrick Hodge. Cie Grant was the greatest saints linebacker in practice, but I don't think he ever played a meaningful game. Sedrick Hodge was the only player on our team that could catch Mike Vick in his prime but never tackled him.

Never, Ever, EVER will their be a worse pick than Rick Middleton, from Ohio State in the first round. The Saints took him instead of his teammate, Randy Gradishar, who would be a perennial All Pro. Middleton was absolutely pitiful.

Was Marvin Williams same draft class as Courtney Watson? I cant remember. Anyways, Williams, a seventh round draft pick, had a MUCH more successful career than any of these clowns mentioned.

There's only been one first round LB selection (who is now on the bubble of being cut in his 3rd season). And he's not on your list. I think that Mr. Anthony may take this title if he gets cut. He may take it even if he doesn't.


I'd take Bighill over Anthony at this point.

Marvin Mitchell. I wanna say 2009. Much later.

The sad thing is a bunch of UDFAs/7th round picks/nobodies were light years better

Marvin Mitchell
Ramon Humber
Jo-Lonn Dunbar
Jonathan Casillas
Scott Shanle
Mark Simoneau
Danny Clark (not exactly a nobody but...)

Kind of hard to pick one because several never played.
