Round 1 will always boil down to
Need vs BPA
Marshon Lattimore Vs O.J. Howard

Lattimore is a gamble on injury history, upside and a need. There is no argument that can be made to say Howard was not the safer pick. The grades will come in when each player comes for extended contracts in 5 years.

round 2 pick given up for Alvin Kamara, which I am still on the fence about, but the in SP I trust might be were I end up with this pick.

Alex Anzalone was a solid gamble because of the round he was drafted in. I am not agree with the pick but it is a pick I understand. Controlled aggression training maybe the key.

The sixth round pick of "ol whats his name" in the sixth is still a head banger IMO.

The fact we gave up a 5th last year and once again gave up a 2nd in next years draft makes me worry about the saints using picks like they are time outs. This is a history that worries me. They seem to ignore the fact that about 65% of NFL rosters are made up players picked in rounds 4 thru 6.

How do you go into a draft with 2 1st and 2 3rds and not get any extra picks? Yet again? Especially for a team in such need of talent in so many positions?

I hate the fact I have to watch Brian Hill, OJ Howard, Curtis Samuel, Duke Riley, Chris Godwin and Christian McCaffrey twice a year.

We did not replace Cook to boot.

So all in all it aint as bad as the past few years drafts I will give the 2017 draft that.

I believe that we did replace Cooks. With Ted Ginn. Michael Thomas clearly became our #1 receiver by the end of the season. Willie Snead is pure money in the clutch. Cooks had become more of a decoy than a primary weapon. He had also become a distraction. Ginn can be used to stretch the field in exactly the same manner as Cooks. I also see Kamara as a player that replaces some of the things that Cooks could do.

I think we replaced him with Guinn and the TN running back together

As long as we have #9 under center, we'll be fine.

I totally agree with everything you said, especially this ^^. What does this pick say about Lasco?

Round seven pick vs second rounder. Sean needs his toys to make his machine work. You keep shopping until you find the one that fits just right. The draft isn't an all you can eat buffet. You can't just go up and put every player that looks good on your plate.
