He's a bust, period. Frankly, even if he were good it would still have been a bad pick based on needs.

Wrong, based on needs he should have been our 1st pick over Jordan.

That's a blind statement. Do you remember how bad our defense was and still is? I didn't like the Jordan pick at all, but I definitely wanted defense. Getting an OT wouldn't have hurt my feelings either, but there really weren't any worth taking at that point, as I remember.

Do you remember the only RB who's NFL future wasn't in doubt was Reggie Bush? And it would have cost us 12 million to keep him? There were serious doubt as to whether PT and Ivory would ever play another down in the NFL.

Do you remember Julius Jones and DeShawn Wynn were our only RB's?

We drafted 6 players that year, all but Ingram were on the defensive side of the ball.

Over the last 4 seasons we've drafted 20 players, 12 were defense and 8 were offense.

See my above post, first.

I'll add in response that there was never a question as whether any of those players careers were in doubt. It was how effective would they be when they recovered, and how long would it take them to recover. Yet, again, we still scored 36 points against Seattle.

The Saints have drafted a lot of low round defenders. I'm talking about first round. How many impact defenders have we drafted recently? I'll echo something that someone else in here said, and that is that we have gotten the majority of our offensive talent in late rounds or as rookie free agents. There was no reason to panic and draft Ingram.

There was never any doubt that PT or Ivory would play another down in the NFL!
