Grading the Saints draft picks. Based on the preseason

jeanpierre · 09-01-2014, 02:31 PM

I'd talk draft ad nauseum, but it's way too early to grade...

But one thing I like, even though we gave up premium to get him, is that Cooks could, and just may, start opposite Colston as a first round pick should...

I liked grabbing a CB early to complement Lewis, but Jean-Baptiste was too much project for such an early pick; like our coaching staff that can develop him, but is he the goods, too early...

We should have taken offensive linemen that graded there when we picked in the mid rounds; thought Fortt would have been gone by third round, but still would have rathered taken offensive linemen and another nose tackle...

I am corrected...scouting report had him in 4th-5th round but that he'd been 2nd round if not for transfer, previous injury...

Seer1 and K Major like this.
