Re: Turning Attention to the Draft

But you still have Mickey Loomis and Jeff Ireland ..

Saints traded Ceedy, handed Philly Jalen Carter (draft for Penning pick) & let All Pro Zach Baun leave N.O.

The "strategy" of selecting players based on measurables "prototype", and not whether they can actually play football, is also part of the problem.

Gotta get that cap in order and HIT on those draft picks. Saints need a lot of young, new talent to truly compete.

My moms lousy Medicare Advantage optometrist gave her glasses that don't work as well as her old ones and when she complains that something is wrong with the prescription they say no, you must have cataracts, and refer her to the ophthalmologist. Then when she goes there, they tell her no, you don't have cataracts. This has happened twice. I tell her that probably her optometrist has cataracts and that's why he cannot read or calibrate his equipment correctly and give a correct prescription.

Likewise, maybe the Saints don't need a prototype for their top draft picks, maybe they need a prototype for those making the picks. Maybe that prototype should be 0.0 blood alcohol level, white eyes, good kidney and liver function, well kept personal appearance, lack of awkward nervous habits, younger and more innovative, football background.
