Free agency you address needs
Draft you go for talent

the legacy of this draft will be entirely contingent on whether or not you hit those first 3 picks. I love the potential.

Blows my mind some do not understand how big of a need WR has been, but whatever.

I am with you on the WR. I do feel like that as long as #9 is here we can do well without an elite WR. I really wanted them to load up on Linebackers and lineman.

I think another safety is just a waste and they might as well not drafted anyone to with the two we go and the picks we gave away.

D+

An A+ draft is one that you can come away with 2-3 starters and another 1-2 contributors. I feel we got 3 starters with the first 3 picks. (Bell in a year or two) The big DT is intriguing. If we get a rotational guy out of him great. Anything better and we plain dominated this draft. RB will contribute on ST if he makes it. Turner as a UFA is a great consolation prize for not getting a G. Hopefully he has a chip on his shoulder.

A- with the possibility for a +

Drew in his prime I get that strategy, but at some point you've got to give him some talent there.

Colston, Graham, Moore, Meachem, etc were not exactly scrubs. Certainly more talented than most of the guys in the current corp.

The D was horrific last year, duh. But the offense definitely struggled at times to keep pace with the opposing offense. Our stats looked good by season's end, but if you watched the games you saw the struggles.

Nice gif brah

I think we got three starters by the end of the year and thats a "A" for the Saints org

Also they are slaying it on their UDFA pick ups.

A solid draft.

To be fair, you have to balance talent and need at a point since had had 3 tackles. And tunsil is an idiot.

I think we got 2 starters for the Saints and one that might not start other places. The others are just a best depth.

Love the Rankins and Bell picks but should have gone with Whitehair in the 2nd. Moving up for a project DT was stupid. Picking a RB over Scooby Wright was dumb too.

B+ for me.

Rankins and Thomas will come in and start right away and I expect Bell to get ALOT of playing time and might start by the end of the year.


Oneymata is intriguing, but he's not a starter from Day 1 even though I expect him to make the roster. He could come in a blow everyone away or he could come out and not be worth a shite. Total mystery, which you shouldn't be going for in the 4th round.

Daniel Lasco is a head scratcher. But if he makes the roster, I can see him playing more of actual RB role down the line. Cadet is well, Cadet and Spiller might be on his last leg. If Lasco can stay healthy, his tape don't lie, he can play. He's big and fast and a good athlete. The only knocks on him are his hip and fumbling issues.
