One thing is for sure you can see an notable difference once Jeff Ireland was hired.

This! And it’s why it drives me crazy when ppl want to trade known commodities for draft picks. Why trade a known great player for a pick when that pick has maybe a 30% chance of becoming said great player.

You people are obsessed with this team "missing on draft picks" when in reality we nail more draft picks than 90% of teams in the NFL

You are beating your chest about hitting our draft picks when we sit with a 3-5 record? Weird flex but ok.

We are sitting with a 3-5 record because of injuries, penalties and turnovers. All self-inflicted wounds. This last game the team had 27 yds. in penalties, no turnovers with a 1+ turnover ratio and a couple of injured players return ( Taylor and Adebo) that all contributed to a dominant performance. We have a lot of talent on this team due to those successful draft picks. Nothing wrong with pointing that out particularly as long as we keep winning. Lighten up.

Popped on his tape the last few games…kid is playing above solid right now. It’s kind of insane

I save my tantrums for when we blow a 1st rounder. There are enough of those to go around.

I just want the saint’s to avoid obvious risky picks

two of their three best players have spent more than half of the played games this season on the injury report

So if we hit on our draft picks then we should have quality depth and not be 3-5. Right?

It is really hard to remain even keel with realistic expectations when on one side you have sunshine pumpers like yourself where I hear “the Saints are the most awesomest drafters ever” and on the other side the chicken littles are saying the sky is falling every second.

Chill out bro. This team and front office has work to do to be a quality playoff team.
