I'm 57 so that is a lot of bad players. But Johnathan Sullivan has got to be it. I remember how excited my friends and I were when the Saints traded up in that draft. We thought we were finally getting a CB, and then...

Isn't he also the one who was spotted at the media buffet at an away game.

none of them.... They were all good players. Every single one of them!

I can't remember the guys name but we moved up to the second round and drafted some inexperienced cornerback that needed development who never started a game and didn't finish out his contract in New Orleans. Right behind that guy would be Trevor Penning who is looking like a major bust after missing his first season with injuries and getting benched for his second year.

Jason David doesn't really belong on this list because he didn't fit the system and was basically playing out of position while he was here. That's on management and not him so much in my book.

Think that was Stanley Jean-Baptiste you are thinking of.

Converted WR that Payton was convinced was "the next Richard Sherman" due to the fact he was tall....

And yeah agreed on Jason David.

He struggled mightily, but that was more on the team for signing a zone CB and putting him in man coverage, on a island most games and expecting him to succeed.

Not to mention, as a person, Jason was one of the nicest people you would find.

It would be fascinating to see Jonathan Sullivan and Trevor Penning battle it out in the trenches in their prime. I have to think Sullivan would dominate the matchup as he succeeded in the SEC which is a much higher level than Penning was ever effective on. Also, Sullivan struggled with weight after his rookie season but was at least able to start for one season without having to have the other 10 men all bending over backwards to help him out. Penning has just never been effective at any weight in any level of competition above whatever Juco he crawled out of. Honestly, perhaps when Sullivan ballooned to 350lb we should have moved him to OG, the odds might have been better.

That 2014 draft is horrible

Jumped up for Cooks and gave away a third, WR still on the board after the original Saints pick the Cards ended up with Davonte Adams, Allen Robinson, Jarvis Landry.

They litterally could have stayed put and ended up with
Bradley Roby
Jarvis Landry
Trai Turner

Before Payton and Loomis did the normal get drunk and throw darts at injured reclamtions/small school prospects. How drunk where they when they took Tavon Rooks in the 6th

Johnathon Sullivan by a mile.
