Well using a 2nd round on a project is not as bad as using a 13th pick on a tackle that can't beat the competition and start week one only be a reserve instead, fantastic.

Things are shaking out kinda weird... 5 RB's, 4 WR's and 2 TE's.

thats silly, strief is a great tackle

injuries, this will change

Strief is indeed a great tackle. That wasn't his point though... It was a waste of such a high pick.

i disagree, strief is aging, and peat's gonna be just fine for us. him sitting a year is not a waste, especially if someone goes down

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

But conventional thinking is, if your taken with the #13 pick, you should be expected to start.

idk if that's true.certainly a fan's perspective..

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

Maybe not since the rookie wage scale but you would like to think your #1 pick in the draft would be a starter.

Re: New Orleans Saints roster tracker: Live updates as the Saints reduce their roster to 53 players
 

rb, yeah, but other positions it can be a toss up. theres probably some guys taken in front of him not starting this year

i hear what you're saying, but I think once you're outside top 10 it's not definite.
