The point is that Ireland had much more ammo to work with in 2017 than he has this year. I fully expect us to find away back into the second round where we usually pick very well. Foskey could still be a good player after getting accustomed to the NFL. He had to adjust to the size and speed of the players, his playbook, and what his responsibilities are. But we must get better in the trenches.

See Detroit Lions 2021 & 2022 draft. In just 2 short seasons, they turned it around & was a play or two away from going to the Super Bowl THIS YEAR.

Copy cat league. Make those 5 picks count.

The Saints braintrust need to figure it out this off season & not focus on what they don't have.

Contenders do serious work in the off season & solve problems on how to improve & get better so they can compete in late January.
