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?

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)

Really? I thought most of us thought he was drafted to eventually take over at safety.

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

As a Die hard fan i find my self being pretty
analytical of every move made....Having said that, by and large I stay pretty upbeat and optimistic regarding the choices the FO makes. I trust they know much more than me.

You on the other hand, like to be a pessismist
while doing your analyzing....
You want them to be a bust so you can say
" i told you arse holes we gave up too much! "

Wouldnt you rather eat crow sometimes?

Are teams really running that differently to the point that a bellcow back isn't needed anymore? Isn't the main reason RBBC rules the day because of the injury risk of the position and not wanting a lot of the cap tied up in an injury prone player? If Ingram stays healthy doesn't that justify the value given up?

No, he was picked because teams line up in the nickel over 50% of the time.
