To be fair, outside of Stinchcomb that entire 03 draft was straight trash can material

Rumor has it, Haslett had his kids input on most of those picks

I kid, I kid.

If one wrote a book on exactly how to eff up a draft, this list would come close to a perfect example.

I guess that's when they began to learn the lesson to not wait on whatever falls to your slot, but to identify exactly who you want and go get them whatever it takes. Loomis and Ireland in their combined brilliance have perfected the model.

Yeah Stinchy was good. I remember having all these high hopes for Grant. Talk about a wasted pick. But Sully takes the cake there. Good grief.

We traded two mid first rounders to move up for Jonathan Sullivan. There’s your perfection.

It would be nice if we can get a high draft pick for him because hopefully, he still has value just not to us.

The same team doctors caught Foster’s lymphoma

Our doctors only have one weakness. Sports medicine.

I don't believe so. Dr. John Amoss discovered the Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Moreau. He's with LSU and is an internist. I believe Thomas' team doctors were orthopedics from Oschner.

I read it was triggered by Saints doctors detecting lymph node swelling during his Saints physical
