So...you're saying let's sack the guy who is consistently credited with bringing us Pierre Thomas, Lance Moore, and all the other undrafted rookies and low round gems that have made our team what it is.... Every Saints' position group features at least one former undrafted rookie from the college ranks. Reiprish is often credited with being THAT GUY. You're saying sack the guy who was actually a very successful football college drafter before coming to the Saints, and brought the Jaguars from brand new team to 11-5 and the top of the AFC in like only 3 years of running their draft. It's waaay more complicated than that. We can't just fire our way out of this.

I hear ya' Bro. But somebody has to be held responsible for seeing that ALL draft picks he ok's are better than ok. I mean that they should be doing a better job with the success of our first rounders.
Whoever is scouting the smaller schools is doing a great job. Whoever is scouting the larger schools needs to rethink his evaluations at the very least.
