Why did you stop with these? What about Tyrann Mathieu?

I only put players that the Saints had picks before in that round or later. Saints didn't have a 2nd round pick and their 3rd round pick came after he was drafted.

Kelvin Sheppard, Joe Barksdale, Reuben Randle, Eric Reid, Jarvis Landry, Trai Turner, Kwon, La'el, and potentially Hill and Hunter would start on this team.

For the CB's and RB's they are of equal or better value than the Saints have drafted and my point was they moved up a lot for CB's when these were available in times they could have taken them.

For La'el the Saints had every advantage here and didn't take advantage of instead using the 13h pick on Andrus Peat instead of someone like Marcus Peters who was defensive rookie of the year and a top position of need.

The whole concept is that the Saints basically have a minor league system an hour away that turns out talent only a few college teams can match or come close to and it is of no use to the them it seems.

He averaged
35.1 ypg 2013
74.2 ypg 2014
64.1 ypg 2015

My point is that we payed way too big of a price for that.

Sweet Christ on a Cracker. Some of you will cherry pick your stats to death just to shite on Ingram.

Now add up the rest of the years and what do you have?

I would look into the area around Bryson City. The NOC and Smokey Mountain National Park are both right there. Tons of day hikes and places to camp unless you are looking to backpack which can be done easily with access to shuttles for the Appalachian Trail.
