3-68 Kelvin Shepard-LB
3-73 Stevan Ridley-RB
3-92 Joe Barksdale-OT
Gave up 2011 2nd round and 2012 1st round picks for Mark Ingram


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

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.

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 only put players that the Saints had picks before in that round or later. Saints didn't have a 2nd round pick and their 3rd round pick came after he was drafted.

Kelvin Sheppard, Joe Barksdale, Reuben Randle, Eric Reid, Jarvis Landry, Trai Turner, Kwon, La'el, and potentially Hill and Hunter would start on this team.

For the CB's and RB's they are of equal or better value than the Saints have drafted and my point was they moved up a lot for CB's when these were available in times they could have taken them.

For La'el the Saints had every advantage here and didn't take advantage of instead using the 13h pick on Andrus Peat instead of someone like Marcus Peters who was defensive rookie of the year and a top position of need.

The whole concept is that the Saints basically have a minor league system an hour away that turns out talent only a few college teams can match or come close to and it is of no use to the them it seems.

In hindsight it seems like Reid would have been better than Vacarro.
