We may take a different draft approach this year and actually trade back to get more ammunition. We need a lot of cheap contracts. |

On the other hand, if SP knows the rulebook like BB, then in all likelihood we have another Tiffany or two... And then everything I just said carries less weight. |

Davenport is not a bust. Stop suggesting it. You can't predict future injuries.

Quality over quantity, totally agree. But wouldn't it be better to have just one or two elite players and have a number of players at all the positions, than have holes at the end of the season? Name the stacked rosters of the Patriots Championship teams; most won't get past Brady and Gronk; but they were loaded with role players... You gotta have more darts for the draft dart board and you have to have salary cap flexibility, otherwise you can't adjust to get better or, if you've made it, change it up to keep the competition off-balance... |

Bottom line, all teams make mistakes when it comes to drafting, and personnel selection is the biggest gamble of all, even for the best scouting teams. In retrospect, every move could be labeled a mistake. As for “improving”? Tell me how one improves on the ability to have foreknowledge of the future. Learning? There is no doubt that they’ve learned from the things they’ve done well, and those they haven’t, wrt drafts. idk jp, a fair argument can be made that certain superstar players on other teams would have been failures on our team bc of lack of coaching or any other unique environmental considerations specific to each individual team. I’m not defending CSP’s drafting since he got here, heck I would even argue in your favor that he hasn’t had much success. But, you haven’t sold me on the idea that if he had chosen other people, the outcomes would have been measurably different. ie..., had the Saints drafted Tom Brady, would we have played in ten Superbowls? With our coaching at that time? lol, nah, I just can’t get on board with the idea that looking backwards logic will improve our foreknowledge thinking wrt improving drafting. |
Re: ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NFL...
No doubt this is important, but I think a major overlooked factor is the timing of injuries. I don’t think Tampa wins if KC isn’t missing 3 O linemen and I don’t think they beat the Saints if Hill, Murray, Thomas, and Harris are healthy. Tampa had a late bye and got all their pieces healthy at the right moment. Throw in the obvious favoritism the refs gave them during the playoffs and boom, 7 rings for Brady.
