We should have tried to trade both 5th round picks for another 4th

Not sure if we didn't try, but neither of those 5th round picks are going to do anything.

Neither is our 4th, to be honest.

So, trade the 4th and two 5ths for a 3rd and call it a day.

I'll go on record and say that we'll never hear from these two LBs and safety. Hope I'm wrong, but that is my prediction.

I'll trust the guys who've proven they can draft this late.

I agree with Ala. I'm not sure if there is a healthy set of knees between the two LB's and Sunseri sucks. The staff sucked this year past round three.

I love when people make statements like this and then provide NOTHING to support it

Having watched drafts for the past 20 years, nothing about these two picks or our fourth tells me that these guys are going to make it.

I hope that I am wrong, obviously. I'd love for them to be all-pros, but these seem like wasted picks.

Sunseri and Powell have two good knees between them.

Really can't when you don't really know jack about the players that are drafted.

Did you spend months scouting these guys? Because I'm going to trust those who did over your opinion

How am I supposed to prove that these guys aren't going to be any good in the pros other than just looking at them?

They are coming off injuries. Sunseri was not impressive in college at all.

Sorry, I don't think that we got anyone that we can count on here. Hope I am wrong.

Nope. I really don't know what I am talking about.

But, let me ask you this. Is there a higher chance that I am right or wrong?

I'm not sure that you do

I'm just saying that if you are going to make a statement such as this, I want a "because..." in there somewhere so I can at least try to follow your logic

that's all

Well, I do.

I have no problem admitting I am wrong. I am a Saints fan first. So, I hope these guys are awesome and being wrong is a small price to pay for that.

When have we ever done well with drafting LBs or a S in the 5th round?

Junior Galette is a DE and I don't remember where we got him. These types of picks just don't seem to pan out.
