I really don't know of another NFL team that drafts as poorly as the Saints. It's going to catch up to us soon, real soon.

We drafted most of the players from our Super Bowl team. Evans, Nicks, Brown, Bush, Thomas, Colston, Moore, Henderson, Smith, Porter, Harper, etc. It's not as bad as people try to make it. The draft is always a risk.

Maybe it is because we have drafted so high over the last 8 or so years but it sure seems we are swinging and missing in the draft. Where are the impact players drafted recently? I can't think of a single one. Sure we have some that show up some seasons (Jordan 1 out what 4), Ingram late last year and this year. Any others? Graham has probably been the best from the 3rd round.

I don't care where we find them (draft, FA, street) whatever just get us some hungry players that want to play. We don't have that now.

You realize 90% of those players came from 1 draft right?

One good draft in the last 10 years is as bad as it sounds.

Jimmy Graham, Cam Jordan, Mark Ingram, Akiem Hicks, Kenny Stills, Kenny Vacarro, Terron Armstead, and Brandin Cooks come to mind within the last 5 years. I'll even throw Malcolm Jenkins in there. John Jenkins has shown flashes. It really hasn't been that bad. Like I said, the draft is hit or miss. This isn't Madden. You can't scout the players overall rating.

Well said rez. It seems like we have quite a bit of negative nancies on here lately. So what our team didn't make it this year, there are 24 other teams in the same position right now and when it comes down to it there can be only one champion. That doesn't mean all hope is lost, it just means this team wasn't ready. Prime example is the cowboys. Last year they sucked, and this year they look like Americas team again. Though it is my belief that the NFC championship will be packers vs panthers. Anybody else have a prediction?
