Oh, the Saints are winning the Bowl. Cooks will be rookie of the year no doubt. He will put up TO and Randy Moss type numbers. This is a true number one playing with Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham. And Stills runs 4,3 good routes and catches the ball. 50+ passing TD. Plus the hands and ball skills of Byrd and Bailey and Baptise. I think Champ Baileys leadership and 15 plays a game and a few game changers in the playoffs just like Sharper did will get us another one. Who Dat!

Two other points of contention: 1.) Fortt the LB from Cal will be moved to ILB to take advantage of his speed and coverage ability and 2.) Powell, if healthy will be the 3rd pass rusher we needed last year.

Grade: C

Moving up for Cooks was costly but he should be a star for New Orleans. Jean-Baptiste Is a perfect fit in Rob Ryan’s press defense as long as he can sure up his tackling. The Saints lost their third-round pick in the Cooks trade, and overall this is just an average group after the first two picks. Fortt could never stay healthy at Cal. Sunseri is a decent backup safety option and special teams contributor. The intrigue is Powell in the fifth round. Injuries really torpedoed his college career.

I gave it an F because I (last time I'll mention this even if I end up being right) believe Jean-Baptiste will be another Arrington. He'll show some flashes, but'll end up with cheek imprints in the bench until he moves on.

I'm liking the bottom end of the draft more and more. Most of those kids just need a bit of luck to be big contributors for us.

I'm still hoping for some more OL material to show. The lack of that brought my grade way down.

So I'll take my grading up right with my hopes. Not because of the Jean Baptiste pick, but in spite of it.

Damn, I wish I had professors like you back in college. I could have used a few point swings just like that.
