Saints LT Bushrod quietly making a name for himself

He went from below average, to average, to just slightly above average in about 2 years.

He still has room to grow obviously, but he's no longer the liability on the line.

We'll probably hear the same thing about Charles Brown in a year or two.

We draft 2-3 year projects and are quick to criticise when they don't look like pro-bowlers in year one. Colston, Evans and Nicks have spoiled us.

I don't know if immediate Probowlers are expected, but first and second round picks should be giving quality starts before a late round pick.

Divine Intervention, Karma, Statistical Correction, but the Diamonds the Saints have had in the late rounds have offset the underwhelming first round picks...

(Jenkins, Robinson, Jordan, Ingram not withstanding, allowing for three total years)
