Its interesting because ina lot of instances, the saints would be a better team if they targeted guys out of LSU instead of passing on them for guys at similar positions from other schools. Plus you know they would play hard for a team most grew up rooting for

Listen I hear what you are saying but hindsight is 20/20. Most of the time the Saints have not blatantly passed on an LSU player that was rated very highly over whoever they chose. Most of these LSU guys are kind of coming out of nowhere in the NFL like OBJ, who wasn't even the highest rated WR in his class pre-draft.
I don't think the Saints intentionally avoid LSU players. I think that they just give them their honest grades and they are just never in the position to take one whenever they fit the grade given. My biggest beef on this board is that typically our (LSU) fans overrate our players and believe they are graded higher than real draftniks have them, so it gives the perception that the Saints are passing on them when that isn't really the case.
