Depends on how we do this season obviously. One theory I have is that the organization purposefully avoids drafting LSU players, and signs FA plays expressly to eliminate the possibility of drafting LSU players in the future (eg: Unger/Pocic & Harper/Adams). If they looked into where a kid went to college, maybe they would target some worthwhile players and the franchise wouldn't serve as the stagnant buoy constantly being pooped on by the the majority of the rest of the NFC.

Really, I'm just confused as to the reasoning behind ignoring the other team you share the same newspaper with. LSU has a bigger fanbase than the Saints and great local talent. Would do wonders to boost morale of the city and South Louisiana as a whole.

Still can't figure out if you're a moron or a troll.

Take off your purple and yellow tinted glasses. Do you really think that a professional organization is purposefully just ignoring a certain school? That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. There are millions of reasons that the front office goes after who they are, and it's not out of spite for LSU fans or the college itself.

This may be the dumbest thing posted on any TigerDroppings board. Congrats

So, according to this brilliant theory, the Saints traded Jimmy Graham for Unger, who's contract expires this season, to avoid drafting Pocic, who played Guard the majority of the time in 2014.

Harper/Adams


We signed Harper to a 1 year contract to avoid drafting Adams the following year when he won't be on the roster?

How are you not banned yet?
