Draft rethink...

falconhater · 04-24-2010, 09:33 AM

So is this what its like to be a world champion...

yes we have needs on our team but, are we going to take the New England route. Are we looking into the future at all turns. Might this be how a Dynasty is built? We are so accustomed to needing players on the field NOW that we don't know how to react to drafting for the future. Maybe as our team changes into a perennial NFL Power we as fans need to change our approach as well.

Im not sayin'... Im just sayin'

I think when you draft last you can't afford to pass on good value picks.

You certainly can't "reach" for positions of need -- that's a recipie for disaster.

Not if they come in and play good...thats a frikin myth..when you have a complete team and just need say one or two picks to be set across the board ..in our case DT and Lb..i think you should reach deep in that pocket..

Well, you are entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is.

What?

When you draft last, you won the SB.
When you won the SB, you have a darned good team.
When you won the SB and lost only 2-3 players, you still have a darned good team.

On the contrary: when you have a SB winning team, that is the perfect time to "reach".

LOL, no good teams continue to build for the future. That is what the draft is all about. If you want to get drawn into the hype that the draft is all about drafting heroes for the following season then believe whatever you want.

... again.. what? Who said anything about drafting heroes?
So now the Saints are not a good team because they are not picking the players you or the network talking heads say are the ones the Saints should be picking?

If you want to be a condescending know-it-all, at least work on it. Don't reach.
