They should tune in. Most of us pick better for them than they do.

So I guess it's also pointless to have a draft thread in the offseason too right?

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.

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?

I said Petty was better than Grayson(and he's played better this preseason that him too!)
Just wait until Perryman becomes a force for the chargers this year.
I was one of the very first that acknowledged ODB becoming a top receiver. People had him behind Watkins and Evans and even Cooks. I did not have him behind Evans.
I also warned against the likes of Marquise Lee, who is not even a number 2 receiver let alone a 1 in Jacksonville.
I also have good insights on olinemen. I did not have Turner as a draftable player. And he's showing that in pre-season so far.

Come again saying I know next to nothing in terms of talent.

I just like the idea of getting a young, edge rusher with terrific range and athleticism in space opposite Jordan...

It would shore up our line and give us terrific reserves...

Imagine a front four rotation of Jordan/Gwachum or FA-Rankins/Fairley or FA -Davison/Onyemata-McDowell/Kruger...

Now that could be a very special front...

I could see Rankins and Ony spelling out each other leaving Davidson at NT which brings me to Fairley, he's not effective at NT but good at DT next to a good nose(Detroit Suh, NO Davidson it's a trend with him) Watching games + looking at sacks they were close but close don't cut it, this is the reason I want a power NT. Also those TE are tempting to pull the trigger on. FA will dictate alot before the draft. I want to see us make a real attempt to get that MLB from Carolina, I think he could be better than Robertson.
