Saints select Corey White, S, in the 5th round

Pretty much how I'm rolling with. All we have are these online scouting reports to go off of... so it's real easy to feel negative about these picks. I'm going to keep an open mind and hope for the best. It's better than saying "Oh man, this guy sucks! There are a handful of players much better than him." Well, then why are they still on the draft board and these guys aren't?

It's all a crap shoot. Given our track record, why not keep an open mind.

I agree; Let me see them play before I assume anything...

But also, given our recent track record with Al Woods, Chip Vaughn, Stanley Arnoux, Demario Pressley and Andy Alleman, we have some counter-points to the trust factor.

I do trust these guys more than anyone we've had in the past, but that doesn't mean they're always right.
