Saints First Round Picks > FAIL!

Mark Ingram is a rookie in a 3 tail back system. Way too early to judge our picks this year. To even consider them failures is absurd and ludicrous. Both Jordan and Ingram are receiving a large dose of playing time as rookies... I consider that an accomplishment.

Would you argue that Ellis was worth the move up or even warranted Round 1 selection?

Like I said, hindsight is 20/20. At the time, people crapped on themselves with joy with his selection. Care to disagree? It was a good move at the time.

Would you argue that Meachem is worth his selection in round 1 when in the Saints system, any receiver can be a weapon?

He was the BPA on our board. Did we need a receiver? Probably not. I will never fault us for taking their top player on the board. Not every pick works out for everyone. Everyone has their hits and misses. What I do know is that he's a solid contributor for our spread offense.

Would you argue that two shots in Round 1 with Stallworth and Grant weren't major disappointment?

Grant had his moments. While inconsistent the last few years here, he has some very good years for us. Stallworth... meh. Chalk that one up to a miss... everyone has them.

Would you argue that ignoring History does not condemn one to repeat it?

Look to the future, stop dwelling on the past. We have a great foundation here. It's a class organization with plenty of winning seasons now and in the future. Stop living in the misery of your past.
