Yep do not kill the 2007 draft. If they were drafted in 2006 they would have had more playing time. The OL needs some tweaking not complete rebuilding. So why are you surprised they had a hard time getting on the field. The OL is good and will get better. Mech has to see the field before I pass judgment. I like the way they handled it. Get the knee worked on, then work it into shape and work on the play book at the same time. Makes sense to me.

yeah, the facts are that this was a pretty solid draft. if you disagree you really don't know much about football, lol.

Remember Jerry Glanville?
This is the NFL, which stands for not for long when you make these kind of draft picks. There is no minor league system for these guys to get reps.

Bottom Line: These guys did not help us last year. So in essence they are still un-proven. Just like the guys we will draft this year.

First Round talent????
Meachem????
What has he ever done to prove he has first round talent?
Run a fast 40?
I undertand if you feel some fans have "blinders" on...
But fans with blinders can still see better than those who are BLIND

OK, first of all, using a Jerry Glanville quote to prove a point is not the most convincing thing in the world.

How many times does it need to be brought up, the Saints drafted last year with this offseason in mind...3 WR's are free agents, so we drafted one in the first round...2 O-lineman are free agents, so we drafted 2 more. Our Cb's are getting up in age, we drafted 2 more to develop. Some teams are deeper than others, some teams need starters, some teams need depth, some teams are looking to fill future holes...thats what the saints did. They are in a better situation now to focus squarely on the defense this offseason because they filled all of our free agent holes last season. Does that make any sense at all? It does to me.
