Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

"The Saints have a bad habit of drafting players and playing them at different positions" These sentiments ring any bells ? Look Saints have/had more holes then many would like to admit LB, OL, WR , RB & DT. Chris Olave is the answer at WR for the Saints to win a SB? Idk I do think he'll be a good player alongside MT but alot of you don't think MT's going to be the same player. So how could one WR solve our WR problems? If we didn't have alot of holes there was no need to jump up like we did unless they are plotting on a rebuild. Scheme Dream you don't know how a player going fit until they on the field. If every player drafted turned out to meet expectations every team would be set every year. 1st rnd Or 7th you don't know how a player is going to perform consistently until he's on the field. WE CAN ALL ASSUME AS ALL OF US DO. But this Saints missed out on value in this draft after the first round IMO. If only Olave n Penning are on the roster when it's said and done from thus draft class I think my position will be more understood. C is the Saints avg draft grade I've seen doesn't mean anything but does tell me ALOT of people felt they missed on VALUE and immediate contribution.
When 3 year revisits are done and the grades and evaluations are reexamined, the Saints usually come out better than what prognosticators project...
That said, do agree with you about value, immediate contribution; absolutely cringe when the primary reason for taking a player was for special teams...
Find your kick coverage players from UDFAs and established depth; but every single pick, though odds admittedly decrease, should be an attempt to hit gold...
