It’s not hard at all. Rams just won a SB and went to another since the Saints had their championship and they look at the draft very differently. Rams have not had a first round pick since 2016, so they are fine trading away “quality” draft picks and have succeeded. Logically it can be argued that trades that brought in “reach” guys like Turner and Davenport have backfired by not allowing them to fill needs at other positions like WR or TE….especially considering the amount of time those guys have missed. This has subsequently resulted in playoff losses for the Saints when they were lacking in talent at key positions.

Now you will come back with the “we are not GMs” line to defend your point. That wont change the fact that it’s easy to find fault with moves the organization has made during this and previous drafts if you are willing to take off
the Saints goggles and honestly evaluate things.

Hehehehehe...

We got the guys that we wanted. We're in a good place.

Mr.Riaton · 05-04-2022, 01:59 PM

Alonte Taylor- 6’ 01”, 199lbs, 4.36 40,RAS-9.06
Paulson Adebo- 6’ 01”, 199lbs, 4.42 40,RAS-9.55
Marshon Lattimore- 6’ 00”, 195lbs, 4.36 40,RAS-10

This may not mean much to some but I found this interesting. Pretty close numbers. If this guy is coachable, which I bet he is, there’s no reason why he won’t see the field early and often. I don’t really know why he was graded by most as a 3/4 rounder.

Because they don't know as much as those that do it for their livelihood? Because they don't have access to all the resources?

For the life of me I don't understand why you can't read the room. You really are NPD.

What IS your problem, ice? I was agreeing with Mr.Riaton. I simply listed a couple of reasons that may be possibilities. Who knows why these "draft experts" evaluate as they do. Perhaps YOU need to read the room. Geez! un-frickin-real.

I can't wait to see her article. Taylor is sounding like a winner.
