Over all I give us a B+ so far. Within the next 3 years all three of our first 3 picks will be Pro Bowlers. I feel better about this draft than I have about our drafts in quit some time. All the fake arm chair GMs on here who think they know better than the people who turned this franchise from a perennial suck fest to constant true competitor need to wake the frick up and realize that your fatass in on the couch while these guys are making draft picks for a reason.
Do you like the draft or do you just want to gripe about those who don't? Because it seems more like the latter with you and some others here.
How about, you can be a passionate Saints fan, know quite a bit about football, and still think that the Saints missed on some real areas of need?
Here is my thing: I didn't want to draft for the future. I wanted a draft that would pay major dividends for the next 3 years which meant getting a Guard who can start, a stud WR, and an ILB. We got ONE of what I was hoping for in 5 picks in the first 3 rounds.
Now, I don't need people telling me that I am not the GM and that I don't know what I'm talking about. I get it. But, with a few additions, THIS team with Drew could still compete for the next few years. Drafting for the future was not at all what I thought we should do, especially since there are only 15 players on the entire roster that we drafted. We suck at the draft.

How about Nick O'Leary from Florida State? Getting a solid TE couldn't hurt

I think the draft has been great so you are wrong.

The only pick that we made for the future was Grayson. The rest can contribute immediately. Lelito may be more ready to start than anyone is giving him credit for and Strief may move inside with Peat at tackle for all we know. That's the thing we don't know.

What gives you the implication that we are not trying to win now? That makes no sense at all. Right now with the guys on our roster we are set to go 11-5, 12-4. Nothing about this draft says that we are just looking to the future and giving up on right now.

Your problem is you assumed we only needed a G, a WR, and a ILB to pay major dividends. We barely need a G, but we also needed an OLB/Edge rusheR and help at CB and the D-line. We didn't get flashy players but we got solid contributors and more players then using picks to trade up like if you were the GM, which thank God you are not.
