Hmm, y’all do realize the Saints have been doing this. More so than any team in the league by far. And blowing picks left and right.

Davenport - 2 firsts
Turner 1 first
Fosky - top 40 pick
Breese - 1st
Fuaga - 1st
Ruiz - 1st
Penning - 1st
McCoy - top 50 pick
Ramcyzk - 1st

The last 8 drafts we have blown 8 first rounders and two high 2nd rounders on our lines. And honestly not much to show for it…..

But yea let’s keep on trying. What’s the definition of insanity?

And he very well might go there. But most gms don’t draft DT’s that early. It’s just not a premium position and it has high bust rate.

Even Aaron Donald slid outside the top ten and he was dominant in college.

If Moore is coach ,don’t be surprised he drafts Draft. Draft would be his QB of future. We aren’t winning shite for next few years and everyone in organization knows it.

I’m down for picking Jeanty and trading Kamara for a 3rd and a 4th or something like that

Get a better, younger rb and a couple more picks to build the rest of the roster with

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to draft an obvious blue chipper type player, bc the Saints have struggled with that as of late when they blindly guess (Olave, Penning, etc)

I don’t want a running back drafted this year unless it’s in later rounds. I still think Miller needs another year to prove himself. He has talent. And I think DA picked on him and we know he took 4 games away from him this season for nothing. This organization needs to figure out how to keep these players healthy.

I was telling my friend this when he brought up drafting a linemen (off or def) with the first pick.

I realize that Ram didn't play last year and Davenport, Turner, Ruiz and Foskey are bust (Penning did..... ok last season but he could be labeled as a bust).

Having such draft capital in the lines and they have missed horribly should be enough to get someone fired (I know it won't happen though) even if it's just the scouts who said these players were graded as first/second round picks.

The dude is league average and has looked league average every time he makes it on the field. What exactly are you basing him having talent on besides wishful thinking? Even if he is ok to be the 3rd guy you still need another guy as Williams is absolute dogshit and old to boot. You can’t just go in with two running backs. Especially with your top guy being over 30.

Don't worry about positions. Just draft on value, if it's not there, trade down or get the best value. This team has got to get younger and cheaper. If we're heavy at whatever position it is we draft, just trade capital away for more picks if possible. Young, cheap, and talented is the name of the game.

I’d bet a mortgage payment they go o line or d line. Pairing him with Walker and Allen would give them a pretty ridiculous young line if he panned out.

All I know is if Graham is available at 10 and we pass on him, Loomis should be shot

Oh boy. That melt would eclipse my utter meltdown when we traded up to 6 and Trufant was there and we picked Sullivan instead

The chiefs are in the Super Bowl with Kareem hunt and Pacheco at rb

Saquon is generational, I don’t think jeanty is.

You don’t take a rb at 9

Jeanty looks better than Saquon coming out. He just probably won't be a tier 1 phsyical freak like Saquon. He looks to be quite athletic, though. As an actual runner he's much better than Barkley coming out.

Saquon had an amazing year coming into an established team and the best OL in the NFL, but his career prior to last year was very mid.

This is very correct. Especially with an expensive, overpaid RB on your roster already. By the time Jeanty would be our #1, we'd have wasted probably 2 years of his rookie deal.

Yeah, we have blown those picks. And what have we done to address this? Have the scouts who blew all of those picks been shown the door? We know Mickey is still here. I'm guessing the scouts are too. Something has to change. I agree we blew the earlier picks but damn, law of averages has to kick in at some point and we have to get lucky and hit on one. Bottom line is until there is wholesale change in the front office, get used to where we are.

It's amazing how far and how quick we have fallen since Payton left. Plus seeing how fast Denver became a playoff team, it is obvious Payton was the driving force of our success.

It's more about philosophy (Mickey, Ireland) than scouts.

Also, poor management decisions in coaching hires, like the laughable Doug Marrone.

Are there any GM's available at #9? By far our biggest position of need.

I really think Carr can be a serviceable QB if you stack a stud OL in front of him. He’s not the answer but you can at least get thru that contract while making progress. Next year is shaping up to be a great draft for QB. You aren’t solving that now. But you can set up line depth and some skill position players.

Saints had the right idea ….. but their past lack of success drafting linemen shows they can’t draft for shite !!!
