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 ...

Bingo! Nobody knows, the least of all any of us sitting in our easy chairs at home. Projecting the success of any draft can only be done at least three years down the road. All we can look at today is what needs were addressed.

In addition to those needs is how the players fit the organization in terms of intangibles which can only be understood if we were sitting there in all of the meetings that the front office had and being there when the hundreds of hours of deep research was taking place.
