People usually have very unrealistic expectations for guys just because they are 1st rounders. The media pumps up expectations through the roof.

Fact is everyone comes into the league the same and all the grading is extremely imprecise no matter how "sophisticated" it gets.

I've learned to stop watching the draft in a way of, "Well who do we get in the first, oh by the way who was the second rounder?"

So many good players come from later rounds and even undrafted, and that's not just with our team.

But more with the Saints than most teams.

check the series by this guy at NFP bone and Number9 if ya haven't. THIS ONE looks at teams drafting efficiency. The Saints are in the bottom quarter of results of players from Rounds 1-3 (since 2004). They are #1 for 4th to 7th Rd.
