A lot of potential, but it never really came together for him with the Saints, but it could with the Bolts.

Yeah the last bit is exactly right, a lot of potential but never really came together for our team. We will end up picking up a late 7th rounder or undrafted guy and they will take meachems role, although devery has quite a bigger role now meachem is gone

We all know how much luck we have with undrafted/7th rounders compared
To 1st rounders

We don't seem to have luck with 1st round picks

I wouldn't say that, we had 5 1st round Picks starting on defence this year.

That we didn't have 5 7th rounders starting. We do pretty well in the first round. Apart from Sullivan there have not been any real disasters in quite a while.

I didn't mean that all our first round picks were disasters, it just seems that when we get undrafted free agents or late round picks, they always tend to outplay the one we selected in the first round
