I have long argued the fact that the Saints have not been anti-LSU as compared to the rest of the league. This graphic shows clearly that only six teams have drafted more LSU players since 1980.

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 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 .

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.

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: Draft Prospects, Scouting

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.
