The truth of it is, is that Patrick Robinson was a giant reach by our team

Draft boards had him going late second - early third round, and we spent a first rounder on him, idiotic if you ask me because he'll never be a great player for us

He'll continue to be hot and cold

He can still be a good player, but it won't be with the Saints unless it's a cut-rate contract.

I'd love to see what he can do in a more aggressive man-coverage scheme like we had last year. This dude can't play a lick of zone defense to save his life.

That was a real crappy draft though. A ton of busts.

Yeah, but I believe that was the draft we could've got Sean Lee (who can play every LB position) just a half-round later.

It was another CB swing and miss by us so PRob could join Molden, Jenkins (who was a good safety but was drafted as a CB...which we needed and still need).

We made that pick right after winning the sb. I don't even think the FO was really focused on that draft other than drafting Graham which was obviously a Payton toy.

When was our last good draft? They've all been crappy for 5 or 6 years now.

Last good draft was probably in 2006

Reggie bush
Jahri evans
Roman Harper
Marques Colston

All pivotal to the superbowl win.
