Meh, I would have gone after Yannick Ngakoue (Bears) before Clowney.

Hopefully, Isaiah Foskey develops in a year or two.

Turner, Foskey, and Granderson.

At some point, you have to develop your draft picks. That's what the teams that are always contending (post-season run) do every year.

The same goes for Breesee. He'll "flash" this season but it takes time.

This here. You build depth by development. It isn't something that is instantaneous. Drafting MORE players does not translate into depth. Developing the players that you DO draft is what creates depth.

The gross part is that the Saints HAVE focused on both DL and OL fairly heavily with 1st round picks and other early round picks in recent years, unfortunately they've whiffed a lot with the selections it seems. Frustrating.

It happens. Drafting is, at best, an inexact science. Especially when dealing with humans that are on average twice as big as the average person and counting on them being twice as athletic.

But, that's no reason to stop trying.

Oh I agree, and they definitely shouldn't stop. It's just annoying both lines are arguably the biggest weak points on the team given how much draft capital they've sunk into them the past few years, it should be the strength of the team. The Payton Turner pick was just bizarre.

I've not given up on Turner and I believe our offensive line can be elite IF they can just stay healthy. And if our defensive line is a weak point then I think we are poised to win it all.
