We got rid of both Harper and Jenkins for Byrd and Bush and now we're paying a steep price. Like I said when evaluating talent, don't overlook production. When had a Good Defense and took it apart. If we think Dennis Allen will get super results himself, we are surely mistaken.

I have beaten that Rob Ryan issue to death. Started before the ink dried on the contract. So moving on

FA? 1 Byrd does not equal a Harper and a Jenkins. The saints not getting a SS to maximize that investment still amazes me. Kenny was never and probably will never be that SS.

In regards to FA, as in college, you have to the system they came out of, the players they played with and the division they played in. In Byrds case he played in the AFC East which had more starting QB turnover than probably any division in the NFL. Add in the NFL driven media over hype and the numbers he posted makes one wonder if any true scouting was done or was the was the scouting done on the toilet reading ESPN the magazine. Doubling up on ones stinky vapor intake is not the smartest move. Once i saw those contract numbers I was not a fan at all.

Back to the round peg square hole issue in the draft.

My #1 draft concern is the Spread offensive and defensive players.

Your right looking good and yet being fundamentally unsound at the college level is a warning sign IMO. The kid just does not get it or there is some serious work to do with kid before you even start trying to refine their game for the pro level.

Upside, hype, bag full of dreams and long extended toilet breaks do not always work out. Especially when you over look the system and the the conferences they played in.

Build the line.

Jairus is not going to shut everything down on the back end. I refuse to make a judgment call on him until I see a decent pass rush & a decent answer at corner opposite Breaux or a healthy Lewis.
