I’m not even mad that we didn’t draft him, I like others here believe he has potential to be a good player and would’ve liked to see him in the black and gold wherever he would’ve been drafted. At any rate I’m not here to debate anything with you, as I know it’s a waste of my time, just curious about your contradicting behavior, that is all |

I wasn't trying to be contrary, I was honestly trying to understand the appeal. I guess the Saints just weren't interested in a project at TE at this time. Who knows, he may someday develop into a Gronk type player.

Re: Grade our draft
Great interview here with Ireland where he breaks down all of the drafted players and give some of their thinking.

Like I said, I still would’ve like to see him in a Saints uniform as I feel he has exciting potential

As I’ve said before, I still would’ve liked to give him a chance with us. I think he would’ve paired nicely with Juwan Johnson if it panned out. |
