Absolutely. That's mainly what I was referring to.

Told you it's not pointless. I'm looking for depth first to be honest, then studs that can make things happen. SS will be on my list ,DE, O-line G and T and more than likely lb.

That's the point we are making. It doesn't matter what YOU are looking for. That is why it is TOTALLY pointless. YOU have absolutely no say in the matter. You can play the little pretend GM game all you want, but that is all it is. When it comes to the real world Saints it is completely pointless and meaningless. To believe that it is, or to represent it as anything more is naive.

And, the result of the exercise is the exact same every year. It, without fail, results in a draft time thread filled with angry admonishment of the (fill in the blank with NFL team)'s front office over their presumed lack of knowledge because they did not draft according to the pretend GM's wishes.

And I would add, go back through the past years threads and find all these types and laugh. Then point it out how everyone on it knew exactly next to nothing and listen for the crickets lol.

Thats the fun of it. But I really do think I could draft better than the guys the pay to actually do it. He!! I would do it for free like I already do. That BPA they go by don't always work out for the best?

That's cool. But, please, come draft time next year let the rest of us enjoy a draft thread that gives us a chance to learn about our new prospects without having to wade through pages of "dumbass front office ... no way you take WR there especially Joe Blow, when OG Tommy Hardpecker is still on the board. I want Hardpecker now!"

It's a waste of time to be even thinking about the 2017 draft.

Round 1 Christian McCaffrey - cut Spiller and a kR
Round 2 Jake Butt- stuck with Fleener but can dump at least two others
Round 3 Mason Denley? Kyle Kalis? any top OG from here on out
