We drafted 6 of Mayocks top 70

You don't have to love one or the other. A mans will to serve his country and yet have love for the game shouldn't be ignored. Hell you have football players leaving the NFL to go serve their country. Those guys are hero's and they serve with honor and dignity. If they want to play football then we should go out of our way to make it available to them.

Never say anything negative for guys who are willing to go out there and put their life on the line so you can sit there and watch a game.

Holy cow, Mayock loves Kamara even more than Payton! I was actually not too upset about the pick because at least we kept our other 2 third-rounders. I still think we could use a little help at receiver and really think if we signed Anquan Boldin it would be a great fit.

Boldin had his chance last year but obviously he wanted to play with Detroit instead.

See link below regarding Kamara and how dynamic he could potentially be in NO.

We don't need Boldin for the role he plays now.

I love our draft. I do have big ?'s about that last pick. A few good QB's left?

Why draft a QB when you don't need one for another four years? And, why not take the flyer on a DE who has tons of potential? If they didn't someone else would have in the remaining 50 picks or so.

Apparently we were going to draft Mahomes if Lat didn't fall so I'd say we know we need someone.

Here is the story that you must be referring to ...

Mickey Loomis: Patrick Mahomes was only QB who would've tempted Saints in Round 1

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up to the 10th pick in the draft Thursday night to pick Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Part of the reason the Chiefs made the deal was to move ahead of the New Orleans Saints at No. 11, and apparently, the decision was justified.

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Friday his team rated cornerback Marshon Lattimore, the eventual 11th pick, higher than Mahomes, but the possibility of adding Mahomes would've been tempting if Lattimore didn't fall to No. 11.

"I would say it was possible, but once Lattimore was available to us, there wasn't much of a decision to make," Loomis said. "But, look, we did; we liked Patrick Mahomes a lot. I think that's a really good pick by Kansas City."

The Saints didn't have much of a decision to make because Mahomes was off the board by the time they were on the clock.

Loomis confirmed his approach to finding Drew Brees' eventual successor, too. Even though they don't want to reach for a long-term investment at the position, had the Saints found a quarterback they were enamored with, they wouldn't hesitate to use a first-round pick.

In the 2017 draft, the only quarterback who fit that profile was Mahomes, Loomis said.

Now exactly where in the whole article does it state that the Saints were going to select Mahomes if Lattimore wasn't there at #11? The fact is that it doesn't. It does state that Mahomes was the ONLY QB that would have tempted them. Yet, you state it as fact that he was going to be selected at #11. I'm sure they would have wanted to have others believe that to help push Lattimore down to them.

This absolutely drives me crazy. People constantly read things into pieces in the media that are simply not there. Being a temptation does not mean that it would have happened. If you found a wallet with $10,000 in it you would be tempted to keep it. Does that mean you would? No.

I don't know; I could use an extra 10,000

Yeah that last pick seems like a hail mary, but that's what 6th and 7th round picks are for.
