Rugby Saint II

If we could only draft as well as we do with udfa's.

The draft sure is not an 100% thing Tom brady a 6th rd joe montana a3rd pick jake delhome not drafted -pierre thomas not drafted- lance moore not drafted jabri greer not drafted colston at252nd in 2006 two or three picks from being the mr irrevelent player an i could go on an on.I recall calling a saints radio show an being made fun at that delhome way better than danny woefull out of florida.every year i consider the Saints ufda class as = almost to the draft if you throw out the first two rounds.

How good is our talent scouting when there is a thread to discuss how good our UDFA classes.

triman

Possible. Four starters

Jack Vegas you had most ufdas on roster.we need to add shayne graham-jed collins-on ir is chris givens-bryce harris-kyle knox-on ir adrian davis.also on the practice squad are andy tanner-mike higgins-austin johnson-charles hawkins-eddie whitley-vic so' oto.

Triman yes you call it right my four starters in years to come is Foster; being like jenkins spliting snaps with bunkley i look for foster to end up spliting snaps with hicks an jordan in order to keep each fresh.Lelito; will end up at center.Reddick not next year but by 2015 season replacing hawthorne.Robinson when pierre retires moves up to 2nd or third back an splits snaps.Hill in 2015 as i think saints bring back watson for next year will end up the prime backup to jimmy.Griffin in 2015 as i think mc cown brought back in 2014 season will be drews back up in 2015.I look for Saints to use a 1st or 2nd round pick on a qb an these two will fight for starting qb in 2018 season as i think at age 38 almost 39 Drew gets ready to be with ricky jackson an willie roaf in the hall of fame.

It appears so. But is that also a reflection of the quality of talent already there prior to their arrival? If so, what does that say for the evaluation of that talent?

Ughh!!!

hennr

yes looks like the ufda players have saved the team from some bad draft.Could be the scouts call the shots on which ufda players to sign.Should we let them do the draft as they have found some good ufda players.
