i didn't hate ingram. i just think we gave up a TON for a position that isn't valuable
I know the league has changed a bit, but I remember a time when guys like Edgerin James and Ricky Williams were both top 5 picks. Ingram was arguably the best back in the draft and the first one taken. How is a late 1st and a late 2nd not good value for a guy that might have been a top 10 pick a decade ago?

jenkins failed at CB like i said he would. all i did was point out that he wasn't going to be a good CB, and saintards flipped out and tried to tell me 4.55 speed was fine at man CB
Really? I thought most of us thought he was drafted to eventually take over at safety.

Look, I love the Ingram pick. Have no issues with what they gave up for him. The only thing I would tell SFP is that he will help the team, as a whole. Not just by rushing for 1K yards. Think play action, keeping the D off the field late in the game...stuff like that. Its not just the rushing yards.

those valuations were over a decade ago
tyson jackson would have never gone top 3 a decade ago, either. things change (and i don't agree with tyson being picked that high)

it was more of a "i trust CSP...but if he's wrong, we can try him at FS"
i value the shite out of a FS who can cover well. jenkins needs to be that guy this year (with harper back and uncertainty at CB)
and as for prob, i didn't hate the pick, but i got worried b/c it was a signal that the saints probably weren't going to keep porter and greer for much longer. one is likely going to be out
