Grade our draft

Hopefully, we'll have a hit or two but quite frankly our draft didn't impress me. Not often do I have such a bad feeling about our team's draft class.

Were you watching the same draft as the rest of the world, hitta?

Lol, maybe not. Just nothing we did felt particularly groundbreaking to me. I hope I'm very wrong. I think there are some good players in the mix, but nothing felt potentially game-changing.

All the ground breakers go in the top ten, I suppose. After that it's role players and hopefully starters at some point or another. I believe we got five potential 2023 starters (Bresee, Foskey, Saldiveri, Howden, and Miller) out of seven drafted players. That is phenomenal.

If it works out the way you are thinking that would be great. Lol, I'm not sitting here hoping we have a bad draft class. I just don't want to look back in 5 years and none of these guys are even on the roster.

These look to me as all keeper types, for sure. But, most players drafted across the entire league don't last five years. But, I'd wait for five years from now to worry about it.

Facts and I understand your argument 100.

See 2018 class (Trequan

) 7 picks but all we have on the roster is a barely targeted WR taken in round 3. Swing and a miss.

2019 -> Only McCoy is left.

Anyone who claims to think that they know how these selections will pan out a day after the draft has ended needs to be working on Airline Dr and not discussing it on a Saints forum

.

Time will tell

Facts are a hard reality... So is the average tenure for a player in the NFL. I just wonder what percentage of players actually do make it to a second contract ...
