Re: Saints sign Veteran Offensive Lineman Tony Hills

Well I just went back and looked at Payton's draft history with the Saints and there are really only a couple of years when a LSU player went right after the Saints picked. 2011 we picked Martez Wilson and Steven Ridley went a couple picks later, 2013 we picked Vaccaro and Eric Reid went a couple picks later. 2014 would be the one I would call a miss and that is where we picked SJB and could have picked Jarvis Landry. The others I would call a wash. We picked a need at the time and some didn't work out.
The other point I would like to make is most of the picks that didn't work out came from larger schools, majority of the smaller school picks have worked out. Evans, Colston, Bushrod was, Robinson and Armstead looks to be a good one.

Yes! Just think if we'd drafted WR Landry as you said instead of bust CB SJB. Our WR corps would be (practically) fixed for quite a while using our 1st two picks last year on WRs if a draft deep in WRs. Would've loved WR Janis who GB took in the 7th, too.
