Sounds about right. There wasn't a ton of film on Turner at DE, Werner is a high floor guy, and Adebo opted out last season. I definitely understand the skepticism from draft pundits.

I think it's a C but that doesn't mean I didn't like the draft either. Draft grades are for fan entertainment, kills time, and gets the conversation going. I don't see why it should ruffle feathers. Does anyone really give a crap about his opinion? That it for what it is.

Kiper hyped up every Notre Dame QB except the one I finally like

SP was talking about the need vs BPA in his post draft interview and he basically stated that the philosophy is to get as many good players "in the house" as possible, and that is where coaching takes over.

I think that is a sound approach, because you can easily get caught up in chasing certain positions, and never landing a good player inspite of that.

Draft the BPA and fill positions on the depth chart with UDFAs and more importantly proven vets through the FA.

Then through coaching and game-planning maximize your team's strenghts while minimizing the effect of the areas of weakness.

Normally that is what I see from the Saints... BPA.

However, in this draft it was clear we went after set positions of weakness. I think the idea of addressing needs was good, particularly this year when we can't address those needs in free agency.

Good draft? Maybe.
Good attempt to improve the team? I think so.

I seem to remember in past drafts Mel Kiper going on endless rants. I felt he was relatively quiet this year, anything to it that anyone is aware of?

It'll be a while before we find out what really happened, but Sean was definitely target-fixated on Caleb Farley and solving the need at CB2...

There should've been a backup plan and equal effort being given to move up with the Colts to take Newsome; looking forward to hearing the goods...

To be honest, was surprised Adebo stayed on the board to R3, felt the talking heads had it wrong; I'd told some friends I'd hoped to take Adebo in R2...

Also, it's not getting a lot of coverage but I've heard several hints dropped about this draft not having as much of the common background being shared...

Police Backgrounds, Medicals (Health & History), Athletic Index Measurements, are usually there for all teams, but may not have been this season...

Hoping some of my career friends that do this can discover and report if there was legit issues...
