Drafting Need VS Best Player Available

Well, the past two drafts we pretty much did do just that...

We needed an interior defensive lineman and took one in the first round - Sheldon Rankins (check)...

We needed a new "X" receiver and took one in the second round in Mike Thomas (check)...

We needed a Free Safety because the one we have loves the tub and we traded two picks (3rd (78th) pick and 4th (112th) pick) (check, but problem)...

This is where Loomis fails as a...

Actually I am surprised by this team despite injuries and their front office.

Coaches have not been perfect but

- Injuries are expected even to starters but multiple starters injured at one position is bad luck. Multi imjuries knocking 4 or 5 players from one position is dumb founding and rarely heard of.

Then there is our front office moves over the past 5 years.


-About 25% of our cap is playing else where or asking people if they want paper...

Why a Blocking TE with Hands is such a huge need.

With the depth at RT such a huge void being over looked. A TE with blocking skills is a must to help out any poor stiff that has to replace Zach, if he goes down.

Garret Bolles OT/OG/DT Utah 6050 296 4.97 #75 Jr - would have been nice but teams have seen he is probably the best LT prospect in the draft with swing OT skills sets. All the others are pretty much RT.

2017 Saints NFL Draft Review

There is one thing about the saints front office
They throw around picks around like SP uses time outs
Once again the saints will go into next season short handed in the draft.

There is another thing about the saints front office
It is the High Risk / High Rewards picks all involving injuries. True to form the saints draft revolves around if a player who could not stay on the field in college will have a long and...

Going into week 3 Draft standings - #8 New Orleans Saints (0-2)

Round 1


Derrius Guice RB LSU 5106 222 4.45 #5 Jr

There aren’t many running backs who feature his combination of speed, lateral quickness, balance and power. His tenacity and effort as a runner is also something you don’t see every day. A back who can grind out the tough yards, attack the edge and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. He could be the perfect fit for...
