You like young guys who have been turned out good?

As starters or quality backups, yes. But they are few and far between to fill out a quality roster. It will always take a majority of veterans leading the way on successful teams. Those will have to come through free agency at least in part.

Some teams draft better than others, depends on the staff and coaches who'll listen...

Yes they do, but their success in drafting is still consisting of far more misses than hits over time. THAT is the nature of the beast. I'll give you that there are outlier years where the majority of picks turn out well.

That would be the steal of a lifetime deal for us.

This is true.

You better believe "if" Seattle is truly listening to any offers from New Orleans, Ryan Ramzyck name would be a part of that trade scenario.

My response to Seattle … "package anyone else on that O line except Ramz".
