@ Tulane.

I know, eh? Tulane's RB ain't no joke. There was once another Tulane RB the Saints didn't wanna draft that went on to have a stellar career with the Bears.

As well as two Place Kickers. Eddie Murray and Cairo Santos. Both were available when the team needed one badly!

I think it's a mix of both. Tulane was VERY underrated and USC was VERY overrated. Caleb Williams is a monster though.

Matt Forte, IIRC

That was the 2008 draft. Forte was taken with the 44th pick. The Saints selected a guy named Tracy Porter that went on to be the hero of the Super Bowl with the 39th pick of the draft. (no pun intended)

I'll take the way that turned out.

So long as we're playing 20/20, we could've/should've moved back and selected Talib, and still got Forte and another draft pick. Sedrick Ellis was a forgettable and very average pick.

Ole' Egg Ellis. Who can forget that waste of space. Wasn't worth that pic, maybe a 7th rounder when everything was said and done.

One thing about the New Orleans Saints is when we miss we miss big! I think our average would be good in baseball where we can be considered good with one third percentage.

We have never moved back under Loomis. Not once. They don't believe in it. I don't believe that's a bad thing. Loomis has said that they believe in quality over quantity. They don't always hit, but they have hit quite often over the years.
