re: Devin White broke the Saints heart

---

Avoid maybe not, discount perhaps.
Since Katrina and under Payton ( starting in 2006);
LSU had 2 players drafted by the Saints. Al Woods in the 4th round in 2010 and Tommy Clapp in 2018.
During those 15 drafts there were a total of 101 players drafted.

It’s disingenuous to use the raw numbers without the context of where the players were drafted.

e.g., Devin White and Leonard Fournette were drafted 10-20 picks ahead of the Saints. Is it your contention that the Saints should have tried to trade into the top-5 to get these players?

Further, it’s equally disingenuous to not talk about production of some of these players. LSU puts a ton of players into the league, no doubt, but not all of them are can’t miss prospects. 30 other teams often pass on the LSU players, too.
