Alec Pierce is the WRz we need long-term opposite @CantGuardMike to really open things up...

Grabbing Bo Melton late would be amazing, he's never played with a quality passer, and has cheetah speed...

Over the last decade, how many of those were legit (rds 1-4) NFL prospects?

Rounds 5 -7 aren’t good enough. Only true prospect I got under Payton was Dev Henderson but that was almost 2 decades ago.

Recent notable names that were on the board and passed on …. Jarvis Landry (we selected BUST Stanley Jean Baptiste) Jabril Cox & Patrick Queen (we selected Ruiz :rolleyes: instead).

Too bad we couldn't of traded Ruiz for Cooks. Since Houston’s front office loves Ruiz and draft another guard

Where the hell is Bill O’Brien when you need him :p.

He traded away LEGIT (Cooks/Hopkins) WR threats.

That graph goes back to the 80s and includes 80s picks Hokie Gajan, Eric Martin, Dalton Hilliard, Michael Mayes - all outstanding players that boosted the roster...

In the Sean Payton era, the Saints have only two picks - DT Al Woods, C Will Clapp; WR Devery Henderson was picked in 2004...

I'd had love to do that, pick up OT Luke Goedeke in Round 3 to play Guard...

Great point. We need to tap into more (and better) LSU players.

I wonder if it comes down to guys who WANT to remain in their home state especially as a young man with money.

With 2 picks in rd 1, that's gonna be crazy.

I'm hoping Dennis Allen and the brain trust stay put @ 16, 19.

Potentially, you are looking at TWO quality starters for years to come.

Imagine hitting on this years picks & having another 2017 type Saints draft (Latt, Marcus W, Ramz, AK, Trey H) class.

Whoa.
