I agree with you that this team was terrible this season. But your argument about why they should've just purposely lost this game is like complaining that Drew Brees beat up your fantasy teams defense or hoping for bad fortune against your own team so your fantasy team will win. Who cares if the Bucs get Mariota? If they wanted him they would get him anyway. And I really doubt dropping a couple spots in the draft is going to make or brake the Saints next season. I respect your opinion on all of this. I just don't agree man. |

Re: For all those ready for the draft...
I'm not saying tank the game, but we were down late, just play the young guys and see what you have in them. If they won the game then so be it, but to have all our starters out there was just dumb. If Brees got hurt we'd have been screwed for a while. Maybe play some guys and use them as trade bait to get more picks because its going to take a miracle to fix this team even if we have what looks to be a cakewalk schedule next year. I don't like them tanking very much either but i also wouldnt care since its week 17 and we're out. Tanking more games then i see the issue. If you start tanking for picks say week 14 then i see the issue, in our circumstance, i dont see the issue.

How has it worked out for them over the last decade? You play to WIN regardless of record. As another poster stated before ....its not where you pick, but who you pick. This is chess, its not checkers. |

Re: For all those ready for the draft...
Yeah Lovie Smith is known as a great developer of offensive talent so I'm sure that QB pick will work out great lol.

Re: For all those ready for the draft...
I mean, I guess, but I'd rather at least have a better chance at a better player so we can make the best selection possible for the organization, but thats just me. To be honest it probably doesn't matter who we select since we suck at developing defensive players.

11. New Orleans Saints: Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
Finding a pass-rusher is certainly an option here, but with four D-lineman already off the board, I think the Saints simply go with the best player available, regardless of position. Brandon Scherff is not only a nasty, bruising blocker who will give the team a new identity in the trenches, but he's capable of thriving at either tackle position or on the inside as a guard, a la Zack Martin. 2015 NFL Mock Draft: Complete 1st-Round Outlook | Bleacher Report |
