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.

Please ambassador, next time don't wait for the translation, just answer the questions; already addressed that the jury is still out on recent picks and addressed that at least the guys are starting...

There's a video of teenagers shooting fireworks from their arses who thought that was a good idea at the time...

So was he worth it; contributors are available in rounds 2-7; maybe the assessment for the "Board" needs to be improved...

JD Drew hit a 14 milliion dollar home run, so yeah the Sox got their value

Sounds like a Politician's comment; glad to know you'd ignore the past; and I sense from your "misery of your past" comment you have a personal axe to grind; may I suggest anger management or a Ron Jeremy infomercial for a much needed laugh...

It's okay to be passionate; you need to leave the personal passive aggressive stuff out of it...

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
