Why do the Saints refuse to draft LSU players?

Look, I’m not going to try to play GM here, because obviously none of us are qualified or have anywhere near the knowledge.

It looked like an LSU player was inevitable, whether it was trading up to grab Jefferson, or grabbing Queen. Honestly asking, is there some reason why this franchise is so against drafting LSU players?

Queen is overrated.

I’ll take the guy who’s most likely to be an all pro

This is your problem. This is made up fantasy with no basis in reality. You just wanted it to happen.

Couldn’t we say the same about tons of NFL teams?

They don’t look at LSU players any differently than any other player.

You do though.

Maybe because there are certain individuals out there whose job is to evaluate "football Players" and You're not one of them. Sorry it wan not an LSU athlete but I have full confidence in Saints front office to pick an athlete over someone drinking in front of his keyboard an being pissed.

I love Queen but he’s a higher risk than the top C/guard in the draft. And I think he has a lot of potential but might take a little while to adjust to the speed of the game. If this is the last shot with Brees keeping him protected at all costs is a bigger need than lb

The same reason 26 other teams didn’t take him, and 4 other teams took LBer’s before him, he didn’t fit what they wanted.

I think the complaint would be more legit if the saints picked a LB at 24 instead of Queen.

If the Saints continue to develop talent why does it matter?

You get too hung up on drafting the local kids and the next thing you know, you're Jacksonville drafting Blake Bortles.

There are 6 more rounds and at least a dozen more draft eligible LSU players...

Well it seems like they didn’t want a WR or LB and obviously don’t draft based on the wants of LSU fans.
