Rugby Saint II

It'll probably be like this for every single future offseason, so I think we'll just have to get used to it, and hope that some of the future draft picks hit gold and become "cheap" impact players for about four years at a time.

There in lies the problem. Our draft picks have never been gold.

Well, I think you're being a bit too harsh buddy.

For example, Graham, Colston, Evans and Nicks could all be considered "hitting gold" as far as I'm concerned, and there are others as well... not to mention the great UDFAs the Saints have been able to pick up along the years.

You're right Fin I guess I am being a little too harsh.

I'm just a little frustrated with the production from our first round choices. They may eventually be worthy of that 1st........Ingram can still be the man as can Jordan. And I still have a little hope from the rest of them but my expectations aren't as high as they once were.
However, we've got a smart new DC and maybe he can evaluate top flight talent for a change.

It seems like forever since we had a second round draft pick. Although Hicks is looking good for last years first pick which came in the third round.

That is where we are usually money. In those mid to late round draft picks is where we get pretty good results. And yes, we do pretty well with UDFA's and dlp came from someone else's practice squad(Atlanta I believe). We know how to bring in talent from small schools and which players to take a gamble on.

I just wish we were better at evaluating talent in the early rounds.
