People love the whole "we should have drafted Jarvis Landry" completely forget:

1. We just moved up to pick Cooks
2. We still had Graham, Colston, and Stills

While on the other end, we lost our #2 CB
Not defending taking SJB because that was not a good idea, but going for a corner was infinitely more necessary than WR at the time.

Like ^ said, Trai Turner would have been the one to complain about.

Coltson was in the decline big time.
Cooks and Stills aren't underneath receivers.
Graham fills the seam.

Landry fills a very real void but it doesn't matter.
I admit I am biased as an LSU fan but his work ethic, smarts, and physical attitude fits right in with the Saints. It would have been a great match.
Additionally, I also didn't like moving up to get Cooks because he was the same receiver as Stills (albeit and upgrade).

I think everyone can admit that the Saints have really drafted poorly for some time. They deserve the criticism sent their way.
I hope last years draft is a signnof things to come.
