Ive been alive since the first draft in ‘36

Ive kept up with every draft since 1940’s

I enjoyed watching LSU get 14 selected

I must say that the Saints disappointed and Ive seen enough Saints Drafts to know when they are playing it CHEAP.

Too many good LSU Tigers left out:

Top of my left out list was:
1. Adrian Magee OG

Adrian should have gone in the 6th. I watched a lot less talented SEC lineman go and he didn’t, my biggest disappointment.

2. Totally shocked Thad Moss didn’t go. Again saw too many less talented TEs picked

I’ll go so far as to say the Trautman kid Saints picked in the third won’t outperform Stephen Sullivan.

Fifteen should have gone and these two left out will undoubtedly avail themselves as free agents.

The last three are also good players who deserved a chance and could also make it:

Michael Divinity LB
Breiden Fehoko DT
Derrick Dillon WR

Just my thoughts on it.

Saints live rent free in some of your heads...you know the other 31 teams passed on those guys too right?

You’re 84? Wow. You’re a lot older than me. Yep. That’s impressive.

Eh, I think Trautman outperforms Sullivan. I think they both have an opportunity to be good, but Trautman just landed in a tight end friendlier scheme.

Meh. I’m sure Trautman ends up being a fine player but Sullivan’s measurable make him primed to explode. Playing TE in the nfl is about size, technique, and sheer athleticism. Former basketball players jimmy graham, tony Gonzales, and Antonio gates became all-pro caliber TEs after being trained up in the league. With coaching and bulking up I see no reason why he can’t burst into the scene in a big way out of nowhere.

He'd have a much easier path to exploding in college and never did. The LSU colored glasses are out of control.

I agree Sullivan is ready to explode.

I was kind of hoping Sullivan would land in Joe Burrow’s lap up there in Cincinnati

Review this list of OGs and name three

I’ll name a few ... Sent you a list

Please let’s ALL DEBATE THIS !!!

Start with Adrian Magee!

Review the list and see who was picked above him ...

Seems I remember we had some road graders on that line that won the BEST OL Award called the Joe Moore Award

You remember that? Hell im 85 and remember that
