Underwhelmed

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Its waaaay too early for assumptions. Some posters are irate because the players "they" wanted weren't selected. Last year Ireland and staff picked prospects who were very productive in college and this years draft was no different. We are building ...

Re: Underwhelmed

Its waaaay too early for assumptions. Some posters are irate because the players "they" wanted weren't selected. Last year Ireland and staff picked prospects who were very productive in college and this years draft was no different. We are building from a solid 2015 draft. Give it time ...

Who knows, Von Bell could be the next Earl Thomas, Rankins the next LeRoi Glover , yada yada. It will be a few years before we know the answer on how well of a job the scouts did.

Meanwhile ...RELAX.

questioning the decisions of leadership that has made poor personnel decisions and poor draft choices is justified. Not everyone is making an assumption that things will turn out negatively, but we also know the recent history of poor drafts and we aren't going to run around pretending it is all sunshine and rainbows.

the reason for the board is exactly for these type of discussions. No one is pretending, at least i dont think they are, that we know more than guys that have tpsent their entire lives in the sport. Not at all, but since decisions like this have been made in other drafts and they have proven unsuccessful people can question them.

At the end of the day we are all fans and we all hope it is the best draft clas ever

Your team stinks

That's where you are wrong. There are a few around here who absolutely believe they know more than the people in the front office. The vast majority of us look forward to coming in here to follow the actual draft and to hopefully learn about the players we picked up. Bad weather knocked out my satellite service Friday night and this forum was my only way to follow the Saints picks. I was met by posters constantly gripping and moaning about who the Saints had taken and who they should have taken instead. In case you didn't notice, it was irritating the crap out me.
