It is highly unusual for players from such a high profile program, to have almost zero presence in the ENTIRE HISTORY of the Saints.

If you don't recognize the significance of that, then I guess there's no point in explaining it any further.

Over the "Entire History of the Saints" the number of LSU players drafted by team are as follows.

Atl 11
NYG 11
Den 10
SDG 10
Buf 9
Kan 9
Nor 9
Phi 9
Cin 8
Mia 8
New 8
SEA 8
STL 8
Chi 7
Hou/Ten 7
Oak 7
Cle 6
Dal 6
Det 6
Hou 6
Pit 6
SFO 6
Ari 5
GNB 5
TAM 5
Car 4
Min 4
Ind 3
Was 3
Bal 2
Jax 2
NYJ 1

On average each team has selected 6 1/2 LSU players since the Saints have been in existence. The Saints have drafted 9.

The truth is, the Saints draft more LSU players than most teams.

So....you take the average of ALL teams and then say the Saints have drafted 9..hmmm..were the Saints not part of the average because that in no way equals the Saints drafting more from LSU.

As a matter of fact, the Saints have drafted 8 players from LSU since 1970. The Falcons for f#cks sake have drafted 10 since 1975.

But all that is besides the point. LSU is not in anyone else's backyard. They are in ours.

Yes, the Saints have taken more than the average. That's evidence that they haven't been avoiding LSU players.

"As a matter of fact, the Saints have drafted 8 players from LSU since 1970. The Falcons for f#cks sake have drafted 10 since 1975."

And 3 other teams have also drafted more LSU players than the Saints. But 24 teams have drafted fewer. That's more evidence the Saints aren't avoiding LSU players.

"But all that is besides the point. LSU is not in anyone else's backyard. They are in ours."

Other than a splash playmaker, teams don't have much incentive to give preference to any local school. It's much more important to get the player you think will improve your team the most, regardless of alma matter, at your pick in the draft.

Edit: As for the dirty birds, we've drafted more Georgia players than they have 10 to 9.
Edit 2: And for Bama fans, the dirty birds have drafted 7 players, the Saints have drafted 8.

It's official... Danno is the only one who hates LSU.
Actually he should love LSU because Bama beats them all the time....

Not really. My first reply was going to be, "Doesn't everybody?" Then (forgetting that LSU doesn't actually even have a math department) I thought I'd throw a little logic out instead. My bad.

Born in Thibodaux, Louisiana...Mom's born Key West, Florida, raised in Gulfport, Mississippi...Dad's born, raised in Gladewater, Texas, until he moved and attended high school in Lake Charles, LA...

I'm a homer, SEC proud, pull for State until a stronger SEC looks like they've got a title shot, then I get behind them (pretty much hate on the rest of the country kinda thing giving some love to Texas, Clemson, GA Tech, VMI and Military Academies (except Air Force))...

But I could give a rat's arse whether the Saints draft someone from State; in fact, I've only wanted the Saints to draft from LSU two times in the last ten~fifteen years; once, with Glenn Dorsey (fmr Chiefs GM Carl Peterson, can go f*ck himself) and when La'el Collins fell in the draft last season, wanted the Saints to take him or Ali Marpet in the second round...

Knew we had no shot with Beckham and wasn't butt-hurt over it; remember drafting Al Woods and the MFer showed up outta shape and was rightly cut; Honey-Badger, happy, neaux, thrilled he got his act together and proud of how he's getting it done like he should get it done, but he was more of a risk than I wanted the Saints to take (in fact, it probably worked our for him because he went to the Cardinal and played with Peterson)...

Neaux, I don't get the butt-hurt for having no LSU players on the roster, not one bit...

Yes, he does hate LSU.

How many LSU players have we passed on that are making a big impact in the NFL?

Every damn year someone asks this dumb question. Sean hasnt picked any LSU players because they either had no value or were not a need.
he has had several Louisiana natives via other avenues. Greer, Henderson, Breaux, etc

I think you missed the initial point our OP was making.

But to answer your question ... Mathieu, Eric Reid, La'el Collins, Jarvis Landry (we chose SJB instead

), & Jeremy Hill were on the board for us just to name a few. Pro bowlers &/or impact players who have serious value & who would fill a need in New Orleans.

I'm all for drafting players across the country regardless of the school, however it is a bit disappointing to see former Tigers making strides and having solid success for other teams when the opportunities were there to select them.

Carry on
