Now we are just hoping some teams drop the ball ahead of us so a top player falls. It's more likely that we package the 31 and 13 to get into the top 5, but we wouldn't have had to do these things if we played our bench in week 17. It also would have been nice to see SJB and Powell get some playing time, what a ****ing dumb move that was.

Tampa flat out whooped our arse early on and then called off the dogs -

Lovie Smith probably was saying 'hey, we could win this ****!'...

We'd done better for winning in the long-term to have sat our guys, but ole' Rodge would've stepped in...

no matter how meaningless, I'm happy the Saints won instead of folding like TB did so they could get the #1 pick.

Some stupid team is going to draft a QB or someone else higher than they should and some talent will fall to 13 if the Saints don't trade up first

"Hoping" teams draft poorly??

I don't think that after consecutive decades of proof we can still call it "hoping"... more like "guaranteed"...

I think you take the best player available regardless of position needs. Drafting for need gets you Stanley Jean Baptiste when Jarvis Landry(84 rookie catches from Tanneyhill!) was available.

RaginCajun83 · 04-24-2015, 12:39 PM

I could only see Gordon go before 13, Gurley if he wasn't rehabbing his ACL would of been a top 10 pick this draft

brees84 · 04-24-2015, 01:01 PM

Gurley is again in top 10 consideration. Had his medical in Indy and knee looks OK.

Stop whining ya'll. We won the Tampa game and that gives Payton a better record. He wasn't going to call off the dogs(even if we looked more like poodles than Pitt Bulls). He knew the consequences of both losing and winning that game.

Edit: I wanted to pull the starters and evaluate what we had on the bench, but no..........
