this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I still love Brees and Colston, but there's some decline in the arm strength of Brees and some wearing down in Colston's footsteps......

Re: If you had to choose..
Can anyone name the last early round draft pick we have picked that has met your expectations?

There's also a different expectation between a 1st rounder picked 7th overall and a 1st rounder picked 28th overall. I based my rankings on reasonable expectations. Many 1st rounders are busts altogether and out of the league in 3 or 4 years. Every one of ours is playing and contributing, albeit some way more than others. |

I'm ready for one of those "late round gems" to be somebody who can play some defense
