Honestly, it was simply a good move by Reid and company that could not have been prevented by anyone other than a mind-reading, future-seeing mystic. :D

We can only use SP's history in previous drafts to surmise anything. And historically, SP was aggressive in pursuing even marginal oft injured college talent, no matter the position of need. Many of those have worked out... and many of those have failed as well, or the Saints weren't patient enough. Although in this day of ridiculously high salaries, can a team really afford to hold players' hand for three years before the produce? It took Ingram (cost of 2 number 1s) 3 full seasons before the light came on, and Karama and a go right away.

Fair point ... water under the bridge.

Yes. We have a whole lot more to pine over than missing Mahomes.
We will be pining plenty next season.

...made more salty by SP's own rhetoric and his moves to GTFOH.
