The D grade for White is expected, but Spagnoulo seemed pretty happy about getting him...

grades are based on value for the pick. its like the market, buy low and sell high. saints were buying high imo

Then that makes the grades even less of value because... who is to say what value is???
Value means NOTHING. Its how the players will be and develop into NFL players, how they contribute. If that is your guy F$%K what everyone says you take the player. In 3-4 years that is when the grades mean something... did you fail or did you win with the pick/player. |

I know, right? I know some fans get all worked up over the draft and get themselves all in a tizzy over taking this guy or that guy or the other guy. It's cool. Whatever butters your bread...
But I don't sweat it...ever. First, it's just too dang much to keep up with all the players and second, as you say, it'll be two years, at least, before the draft can be graded...and third, it's very much like going to Vegas and playing roulette. Sure fire prospects bomb out all the time, and guys nobody ever heard of do well. I guess it's fun to speculate, but frankly I'd rather play roulette... |

i believe in reaching by all means but the saints imo reached by rounds not a round, but then again like it has been said see me in two years.
from what i see today i do not see a great improvement in the team in the secondary. Porter will be missed and the saints did nothing to fill the void. nothing. Safety is unchanged. Nothing really to get excited about, they are all the same type of players. Front 7 on defense is better through FA and the draft gave us a project and hope. Offense goes unchanged, But they have added another good set of hands for Drew. That is always good. OL has depth added. well let camp start and see what we got. see me in two years. |

If we received A's across the board we'd be pimping these grades left and right.
