There are only about 5 players on that list who are worth a shite.

I will give ya credit for the most effort I have seen put into a meaningless post in some time.

Try again, try Saints Talk

Don't give a frick.

Just came to post that we did get a first rounder back to draft Ingram with. We only gave up a second. The firsts were a wash.

Also did you not put Honey Badger on there? He's better than a majority of these scrubs.

Jesus, most of the players on that list are absolute garbage. So your actually arguing against your own logic but just don't realize it... yet.

You should be happy the saints didn't draft 95% of that list. You'd be worse than you are already. I'd only take a few from that list, maybe 1 handful tops.

Meh....with the exception of Brooks in '12, Landry and Turner in '14, and Alexander in '15 I'd say they made smart decisions bypassing the others. Disclaimer: Collins didn't want to be here. Stop crying.

Don't care about any of this

2012
2-63 Reuben Randle-WR
4-124 Ron Brooks-CB


Still no issue

quote:

2013 1-18 Eric Reid-S
5-138 Tharold Simon-CB
6-194 Spencer Ware-RB


Still no issue, I know some would like Reid

quote:

2014
2-55 Jeremy Hill-RB either way
2-63 Jarvis Landry-WR 3-92 no issue, many would love him here though
Trai Turner-OG 6-178 yes please
Zach Mettenberger-QB 6-181 no issue
Alfred Blue-RB 7-239 no issue
James Wright-WR no issue
Gave up 2014 1st and 3rd round picks for Brandin Cooks I am so tired of this ridiculous math. Yall make it as if we lost 2 picks. He was still a 1st round, so you are saying we lost out on a 3rd? Okay. I like Cooks enough.. If Odell had been there I would have wanted him, but that wasn't an option.


quote:

2015
3-88 Danielle Hunter-DE/OLB Wanted him over either Grayson or PJ Williams.. (neither have contributed much, but I guess time still can tell) The Saints typically like taking high talented guys with potential in this spot..
4-124 Kwon Alexander-LB would want, we would need our 4th back though
La'el Collins-OL this really is a huge issue. how do you not take him with your last pick.. I understand all the others passed as well, but come on.. lock him up. He was a great character guy at LSU. Was worth the risk at this spot.



Why did you stop with these? What about Tyrann Mathieu?

I look forward to your next 120 threads where you examine this exact same premise with every other major college football program.

That would be a safety tandem however our other top needs will still most likely be

DE, MLB, CB, and OG...although safety could be bumped depending on the future of Byrd/Vaccaro as Saints.

The implications of this post are possibly the most crucial elements in understanding why the Saints are a third rate franchise at this point.

Anyone who sees otherwise is bent over, head berried up to the neck ready to be taken from behind by the Cardinals, Broncos, Seahawks, Falcons, etc, and everyone else that features their SEC draft talent.
