I have absolutely no doubt the younger guys will show more heart on gameday than our starters.

As others have said, though, we should see what some of the young guys can do and get some playing experience for the guys who need it.

Not to mention avoiding major injuries.

it's not just one higher pick... it's a higher pick in every round that we can blow lol

No way Brees sits until he goes over 5000. I'd rather he not play at all.

Start the second and third stringers. See what they've got in what is effectively an exhibition game. Give Khiry a lot of carries and see what Ryan Griffin can do.

I don't believe we miss on our draft picks as much as our inability to coach them up. We have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. We need to replace some aging,non-productive players,but we also need some new life on our coaching staff.

I concur. You can draft some of most talented players in the draft, and we have, but it doesn't mean squat unless you're able to coach them up to their abilities.
