It doesn't too good on the scouts' evaluations.
IMO Kikaha was a reach in the 2nd & Baun has never been utilized to his strengths in the Saint's defensive philosophy.

Give the guy a legit chance to rush @ OLB. Forcing him --> square peg into a round hole. He is more of a 3-4 defensive "fit".

But yeah, scouting has to be spot-on in 2023.

Surely the Saints scout can find a guy like rookie Isiah Pacheco, right?

7th round pick & played an active role in winning the Super bowl.

Scouts missed on this guy. Then again, maybe it's the creative Reid "system" up in KC.

Reid has always had good rb.'s dating back to his time in Philly, the man just knows how to put a team together.

Probably a bit of both. There are a bunch of guys that gets overlooked every year because of size, speed och any other measurment. Or they got stuck behind a stud in college. Then some of them ends up in the perfect system for their skillset in the NFL and all of a sudden BOOM. Coach looks like a genius and the scouts like duds.
