Exactly, CoCo.
Sure, if Patterson or Austin were drafted with the #15 pick, I know it would help the passing game run smoother. Anybody would be crazy to deny that.
However, I doubt it would translate into more wins. But for the sake of the argument, let's say it adds at least one or two.
Whereas, adding an elite pass rusher to compliment Butler, and adding a space-eating disruptor at NT and adding a healthy young ILB, and adding an in-the-box SS who can aslo cover or adding another small school gem at LT...now that could make us Super Bowl contenders.

I'm going to hope as much as I possibly can for Jarvis Jones, I believe he could be that kind of difference maker. I believe he could be a disruptive player that could change a game. He is what this team needs more than anything else, some kind of play-maker/game-changer. The Saints haven't had anyone close to that since Darren Sharper.
There are other players I'd still be happy about, but none would make me as happy as he would. The more film I've watched of him, the more I think he could be a terror in Ryan's scheme. *Mathieu is a possibility in the 3rd, as much as I hate his personality he's a game changer, but that's for a different thread.
But, if all of the possible dream picks are gone, and no trading back has taken place, I am content with a receiver like Austin, it only adds another weapon to what has made this team great over the years (the 2012 season doesn't count). I've been talking up Tez since we drafted the guy, sooner or later it'll fall through, and Galette/Butler are both promising. Surely one of the three will do SOMETHING. The offense definitely isn't getting any younger, but I really am not worried about them, they will still be hard to stop, especially with Payton looking to prove a point. I'll be surprised if this isn't a top 5 offense next season, even tempted to put a bet on it. Best case scenario is that the Saints draft a legit OLB and Morgan/Toon show that they are capable of consistent playing time, for the long term.
