I'm talking like past 8 years. Who are some guys we were expected to pick that would've been great but we chose not to.

I'm not sure you understand what a "draft miss" is...

It'd be interesting if we picked Yannick Ngakoue (69th) instead of Vonn Bell (61st). I don't really know if you could say we really "missed" on a pick that we weren't expected to draft recently, though, other than SJB obviously.

I don’t think you can define miss like that. Every team missed on people drafted in later rounds.

I mean they got Jimmy Graham. Decent TE for us I’d say

Gronk would probably still be here he know his place is at TE

That draft was full of misses, but some very reasonable points.

Specifically passing on Kendricks when he was clearly better than Anthony.

Kikaha was a reach even though I think in a good system he's a solid pass rushing rotation guy.

PJ was a 1st round prospect so you can't complain about value.

Grayson was bad, but I never say drafting qbs are bad. shite happens. Sometimes you land on a Russell wilson

PJ is a run support corner. He’s never been able to cover for shite. I screamed when we made the pick and will be happy when he isn’t taking up a roster spot.

Agreed. People acting like he was a first round talent pre injury didn't watch him play in college. Darby was way better, and FL state still gave up like 250 yds a game through the air

You can go to every team and look at picks they missed before..yea we notice it more bc we follow the saints, and we’ve had our fair share of frick ups, but the saints arent the only team who didn’t draft Jarvis, gronk, etc

Example, the bengals took jermaine Gresham in the first round and Grimm was taken in the second

2003 6th Overall

I remember where I was when it happened.

Didn’t know it’d be so bad.
