Derick Johnson is the one that hurts the most. I was certain we were trading up for him, but went with Jammal Williams.
I’m sure you’re speaking of Jammal Brown, OT from OU...you had me lost for a second lol.

Really wanted Jarvis Landry instead of Stanley Jean-Baptiste

A byproduct of the "tall CB" trend of 3-5 years ago. We also got duped into Browner of similar skill set.
Now under 6 ft quick twitch WRs are dominating the league

A hilarious I remember was Saints taking Patrick Robinson or Sergio Kindle. Yep, shows what I know.

Randy moss instead of Kyle turley

Leodis McElvin. I don't know why. I heard an interview with him on NFL radio before the draft and thought he'd be a good addition to the Saints.
He was ok but nothing great.

I was sure Jarvis Jones would be a beast

Honey Badger, Duke Riley and Barnett recently.
Gave up trying to pick who will be a good pro QB

Navarro bowman I was screaming for them to take him.
Marcus Peters also couldn't believed we passed.
Also the honey badger I said if he is there in the 3rd u take him

I think they would have taken tyrann if we had a 2 round pick that year the goodell took from the alleged bounty thing.

Tyrann didn’t need and didn’t want to be anywhere near New Orleans

Dak Prescott, Jarvis Jones, Glenn Dorsey, LaEl Collins, Derek Barnett

Well they should hire you as a scout. Every player you want them to draft apparently ends up as a pro bowler

Yup loved Leodis. Another CB I fell in love with was Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, small school combine freak. Still plays nickel for NYG and made a few pro bowls early in his career.

Dorial Green Beckham. Is he even still playing?

Last year:
Foster > Ramczyk - purely because I figured Strief played so well in 2016 that he'd be here for another 2 years. Hard to unseat a top 5 RT.
Zach Cunningham > Marcus Williams - a lot of us were high on Cunningham and he was considered late 1st-early 2nd by some. Had the talent to be an every-down LBer and we just drafted Bell last year. Talent-wise we had more safety than linebackers at this point. We also needed a DE, but all the good ones got reached for in the late 1st so it wasn't a wise decision.
Derek Rivers > Alex Anzalone - still had no pass rusher at this point and I thought he'd become a stud. Might be, but both ended up injured.

Any C or G over Stanley Jean Baptiste in 14
This was an incredibly deep draft for those positions and was a position of incredible need at that time
Brian Cushing over Malcolm Jenkins in 09. Worked out ok after Cushings failed drug tests. This was also a position of great need for the longest time
After 4-5 years of terrible drafts by the Saints, Ireland has knocked it out of the park the last 2 years. I can’t wait to see what he does this year.
