I find it entirely odd that we have a power house in our back yard but we seem to never seem to take advantage of it.The leauge is filled with guys from LSU and other Louisianna Dcools but we have but only had very very few.I really think he hates louisianna athletes

Kwon Alexander ... could have been a solid special team contributor in Black and Gold. Good player down in Baton Rouge. Thought he was worth a look.

What do I know.

I would think so. I made a similar comment in the draft thread. They rather spend, who knows how much, money going to the backwoods of Canada and one of the top SEC schools 60 miles away barely gets a sniff.

We took Kenny Vaccarro when Eric Reid was available. Vaccarro 6 ft 4.6 40. Reid 6 ft 2
4.4 40. Sean likes Midwest to California region dudes. I bet Jalen Mills ends up better than our Ohio State FS. We rarely pick any SEC players. Im glad we signed the DB from Ole Miss and A&M. Especially the Ile Miss FS.

Funny..I just googled if the Saints ever drafted anyone from LSU and found this which was just recently posted:

Saints have been in the mix to draft LSU players, but timing hasn't worked out lately

Don't be fooled by the closed pipeline from LSU to the New Orleans Saints these days.

The Saints have historically drafted eight LSU players since 1970, but none since Al Woods in 2010. That's only behind the Giants (11), Chargers (10), Falcons (10), Cardinals (10) and Broncos (9), in that same time frame.

Woods, a fourth round draft pick, didn't last long in New Orleans. But he's doing OK for himself, re-signing with the Titans this week on a three-year, $10.5 million deal.

However, the Saints haven't drafted an LSU player since Woods, and they haven't taken many LSU players in the last 10 drafts. That honor goes to the Cardinals, who have taken five LSU players since 2008. The Bengals, Texans, Chargers and Niners have each taken four.

But even with the lack of players moving from Baton Rouge to New Orleans these days, the Saints say they like them just fine.

"We'd love to have some LSU players on our team," said general manager Mickey Loomis.

Why they haven't gotten any has likely been a matter of circumstance. read the rest:Saints have been in the mix to draft LSU players, but timing hasn't worked out lately | NOLA.com


So..in 46 years, we have drafted 8 players from LSU..LMFAO and the title has nerve to say "lately".
