June 1st Cuts

... show me a pick in the first three rounds of the draft that was a value pick. You can\'t. B/c they overpaid for TJ, they overpaid for Gandy, as of right now the value for Ruff is sickening... could all of these guys pan out? Absolutely, and if so I\'ll eat my words. But as of right now, this off-season cannot be looked at as a success.

Perhaps but I think its refreshing to hear our Saints actually over-paid. Thats like democrats arguing over the size of tax-cuts. I remember so many years there was nuttin\'

I liked Claiborne a lot too and lost a lunch bet with a friend. I was positive the Saints were going to sign him. I later read there was a knock on him, but I can\'t remember what it was. He was really the only player I thought we shoulda got, but didn\'t.

Draft Value, I think 1-3 is about average but we made up for it with 4-7. According to their scouting reports they drafted the 2nd best impact player on D, got the 4th best OT on most peoples list in the 2nd, and drafted the 3rd best LB on their list in the 3rd.

But the true value picks up 4-7.
Holland is a Bentley clone, mean and nasty. I bet Deuce is practically giddy.
Melvin Williams is a poor man\'s Simeon Rice, but needs a year or two.
Kelly and Gardner were absolute steals at 6 & 7. I\'d be surprised if both made the final roster, but not shocked.
