I'm waiting for the real people to make the picks. I'm never wrong about the picks because I have never tried to guess what they'll do. A perfect record.

That's why I see draft grades as totally meaningless. That appears to be the feeling of many so-called experts in the field, as well, even as they give grades as directed.

I, of course, know the importance of the draft to the success of a team. I also know that the speculations of fans has zero impact on that degree of success. But, as I have mentioned before, some of y'all get a kick out of playing the guessing game. It's just not my cup of tea. With no prior expectations I am never disappointed with the draft.

You say you are gluten for everyday football 😝, yet you don’t get the draft hype. Strange.

I love the draft itself. It's when you find out who your potential new players might be. I'll be glued to the TV watching for each of our picks. What I don't get is the desire to try to make the picks yourself. ie. the mock drafts and such. With a little patience you'll know come draft day.

I'll do mock drafts for fantasy football trying to gauge what others might do because I am the one that is going to be doing the actual drafting when the time comes. I just don't get what is gained from mocking the rookie draft. The only thing I ever see from it is a bunch of fans getting pissed off because real teams didn't pick who the fans wanted them to pick. I'm never disappointed in a draft because I don't set myself up for disappointment.

Can y'all honestly explain to me what is gained by researching all of these college players and then setting your expectations up to be shot down. What is the appeal?

For me, it gives me a chance to know the players that we would like and folks think might be available when we pick. I read all the mocks and the ones that have the most picks get more of my attention so I study them closer. Mock drafts show me what the majority believe is possible so I'm always up for a good comparison and break down of the player and how he may fit the Saints system.

All I know is that you win in the trenches and our first draft picks the last four years have been in the trenches, which is where you win the games.

But couldn't you do the same on the players once they are drafted by the Saints? What is the attraction of wanting to know about tons of players that won't come into play. All your questions could be answered within minutes after the real pick is made via the google machine.

You state you're waiting on the real people to make the picks, And yet you fill the need to come on this thread and disavow anyone else here of being real...

Much less attempting to connect with the Saints Fan Experience, or Shared Fan Experience with others...

That's trolling, it makes you a troll; and that's okay, just so you remember Leviticus 19:18 -

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you...
