Thank you! I think they know what they are doing!
How many times have we questioned them the past 4 years and ending up praising them afterwards?

I'd say 60% of Saints fans hate every draft pick usually because they haven't heard of the guy.

that is a pretty generous estimate i'd go upwards of 80%

It's like this every year. We didn't take who Kiper said was the best and we (and by we, I mean idiots) freak out.

Wasted pick. LOL. Same people said Jimmy Graham was a wasted pick.

people hated Tracy porter and roman Harper as second round picks. I think the only pick the fans liked was Reggie bush..

i've got numerous witnesses that said i didn't like it at the time. we were at the zurich classic in new orleans and were watching it on the large screen tv outside when the saints were on the clock. we knew who we were going to pick but i was skeptical of how he would translate to the nfl. i swear to chicken

Worst part is these guys will be back all season to remind us they were against the picks all along if even one of them is a bust.

eh, I mean...it's still okay to have an opinion.

I like some of our picks this year much better than others. But I'm smart enough not to judge a draft pick based on what I know about him today and credit the FO for knowing a lot more about the player than I ever will.

i love the Porter pick, and still do... hate that he was constantly injured, but that's the NFL...

HATED the Harper pick and still do, and really strongly dislike the Bush pick, but at the time, you sorta "had" to go with him...

it's sad, but it's true... if you don't sing the praises of the Saints, even if they were to go 0-16 and look like shite doing it, you are NOT A FAN!!!!! go be some other team's fan... one that let's you have a differing opinion of the state of affairs, or allows you to question the direction of the team, or allows you voice your displeasure in a free and open forum without fear of retribution....

Ingram



probably the best pick in recent years.... yes, i'm serious....

in today's NFL, running backs have a short shelf life.... the saints gambled on Ingram and picked him up when they normally wouldn't have been able to... out of the picks we had before the trade, we wouldn't have been able to get anyone as good as him, so knowing the short shelf life and the relative value, it was a great pick....

i know it seems like it wasn't because he didn't run for 10 TD's and 1000 yards, but it was a great pick because of the value in relation to what they could have gotten vs. a similar player with their picks...
