I actually don't mind most of our games being the noon game.

One , you don't have to wait all day for the game to start,

Two, up here in North Louisiana you don't have to compete with the damn Cowgirls on TV as much


Besides we know how the NFL is, they're going to play the big city teams or the teams that have that special player on Prime Time as much as possible. It's all about ratings.

Look at the Rams, ever since they went back to LA , Goodell has had a hard on , to showcase them.

Tired of hearing from the media, wanted to know your draft grade?

Me , I give it a solid B+, maybe an A- when you throw in the Tyree Wilson trade. (I like the one year tryout for a 5th round pick)

I would have loved Downs with first pick, but I am happy we gave our....cough.... " young" quarterback some weapons and protection.

Yes because drafting receivers in the late rounds clearly singles you think they can replace a top 15 WR

I might want to remind you one of the best receivers in Saints history was drafted in the 7th round out of Hofstra.

There have been some very good late round wide receivers, that have replaced high draft picks

It's not a stretch to think that the Saints front office is thinking long-term. You draft a bunch of receivers to see if they can do what Olave can do

If they look to work out, you wont have to shell out a ton of money for a player has been in concussion protocol several times.

....because that's looking like that to me

His daddy played for the damn Falcons.


I wonder how his dad feels about that and how old school Falcon fans feel about that?


Plus his defensive coordinator in college was Matt Patricia, which I'm sure he got some NFL defensive coaching

was drafted 2nd overall and is already on his 4th team. Pretty crazy.

Look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, both were drafted high, ended up being backups for several teams. Finally the lights clicked on and now both are starting.

Not saying it will happen to Wilson, but at least he is still in the league and going to a team with 3 former NFL Qbs who are coaches.

Comp pick incoming.

Exactly!

Hate to lose him and his leadership, but it's saves the Saints money and potentially get a nice compensatory pic.

Hopefully he puts up Pro Bowl numbers for the Jets

Should we?

Probably end up in Denver !

It predates this board, but Eddie George over Alex Molden

That's one of those picks that still haunts me. I remember watching the draft gleefully thinking,

" we are getting Eddie, we are getting Eddie "

Then they announced Molden.


Later I was told, that the look on my face was like someone had just kicked my dog.

The most iconic game in LSU basketball history was a loss.


That's fine, we got back at them in football, with the Blue Grass Miracle.

Way more iconic in sports memory, IMHO

Reminder that the 2009 MVP was stolen from Drew Brees

In a league where players like Cam Newton and Matt Ryan get the NFL MVP, the only one that " really " matters to me is
SUPER BOWL MVP

I am willing to bet those players would trade that award for the
Super Bowl MVP.
