before that it was '97 when we drafted nicky savoie in the 6th round and before that it was mike mayes in '89 in the 4th round

so sure......every 9 years we take a gamble on an LSU player

but thats a whole decade.....and sean payton has yet to take a player from LSU

we just dont draft hometown boys

First off, you said "we" as in the Saints, don't draft LSU players. Obviously not true. But you're right it's few and far between with LSU players.

But that's not a philosophy that our franchise has. It's not like we'd be getting ready to pick, there was a stud from LSU still on the board and was obviously BPA, and Loomis would say, "Whoa guys, he's from LSU, Canton says we don't draft hometown boys. Let's draft that guy from Gettysburg."

If Chad Jones is still around in round three, I say we take a look at him. He's a freak athlete and was, IMO, the best defensive player on LSUs defense last year.
