this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; The only guess I have is that the Saints will go from having eight picks in this draft to five....

Re: Draft Week - Final Picks
I'm eager to see what Loomis and Ireland will do without Payton's input. I actually have more confidence in the draft process without Sean than with him.

He probably had his eye on some random small college kid with a red flag medical to play DE. See Davenport & Payton Turner. IMO both were questionable reaches on Day 1. |

Re: Draft Week - Final Picks
I hope it's the other way around. We seem to thrive of late unearthing gems with the middle rounders, thanks to Jeff Ireland. t's our earlier rounder picks that have disappointed other than the recent ones.

2022 is looking good. Jury is still out on P Turner 2021. 2020 late bloom for Ruiz. 2029 NADA... see Davenport trade. 2017 was solid.. although they SP is carrying on about Mahomes, he makes it seem he was Nostradamus... if he was, then he effed up. 2016, what seemed like a no brainer at first glance, now looks like WTF. I know.. can't win them all. Hope springs eternal. This will be in reality the first draft sans SP influence. Let's see what unfolds. | |
