What exactly motivates you to be so involved into the pre-draft and such? What makes it worth your efforts? You get so much into this circus. What drives your passions for it? We all know very few players y'all want are actually picked up by our Saints. What makes it all worth all of the time and effort to research these kids that will never grace our roster? And don't feed me the "they might some day". There's plenty of time between now and then to figure that out with some "real" NFL football experience.

Why does it bother you so much though? It's not a circus at all for me AG. I simply love the game of football & the Saints.

Living in Dallas, I've seen local kids up close and in person as early at 13/14 years old compete, many go on to college & a select few see their dreams become a reality on NFL draft day. Kyler Murray (Allen High), Myles Garrett - (Arlington Martin High), Matthew Stafford (Highland Park), Chase Daniels (Southlake), Solomon Thomas (Coppell) all good kids I've watch perform as teenagers become "big time" & NFL stars on Sundays.

My love of the sport has nothing to do with whether or not the Saints ultimately select them on draft day. I enjoy the interaction and opinions from others (Smash, JP, Rez, JNormand,Lee909,76, XVI, Rugs, Papz etc) on this board on scouting players, best "fit" & predictions on how they'll translate from college to the next level.

We don't have to wait for the "experts" predict who they think is best fit in the draft for the Saints

.

Fun, healthy draft conversations.

There is a certain amount of narcissism in someone claiming they have a perfect record in something they do not participate in. By that logic I am undefeated in surfing competition. That seems to be one of Guido’s defining traits i’ve observed in the still short time I’ve been here. Since I joined last November, it has been interesting to observe everyone’s posts and attitudes through a playoff run and now an offseason.

Considering you claim to have blocked me you can entirely miss the point of my interest. But, keep that head stuck into the sand.

I missed this post while I was off to the Nashville honky-tonks. Thanks for the input, K! It doesn't bother me. I'm just curious because I have never got into it myself. I can clearly see your motivation with your explanation. With your interest in local youth football, high school, and college ball it makes sense. The only high school games I have seen were when my youngest played. He never played football before or after. It was baseball growing up before then and then music after. My older son swam through high school and into college.

I was seriously wondering where the motivation came from. I seems to me you are more interested in the players themselves more than attempting to figure out who you would want be be drafted by the Saints. It that correct?

I'm assuming the others that are into it have some sort of the same background and I can understand sharing that interest. Is this correct? Anyone else up to sharing their love of the pre-draft?
