We didn't have to spend high draft capital on Kirkwood though...

Last 2 years Jeff Ireland & his scouting/talent evaluation staff has nailed their draft picks. Trust the process.

Not sure why some fans are surprised the Saints spent so much to take a shot at an elite pass rushing prospect. Von Miller, JJ Watt, Cam Jordan & Melvin Ingram's of the world don't grow on trees. IMO the lack of a consistent pass rush kept us out of the NFCCG last season.

Got a feeling it was Payton that didn't trust the process...

Success of the draft aside, we were methodical and waited for players to fall to us in 2017, more of a Jeff Ireland kinda draft...

I get it & understand but Davenport is a Saint now. What we "gave up" to get him doesn't really matter anymore. Just seems like a story no one wants to let die.

Absolutely, K. And I'm not so sure that Ireland wasn't a huge part of the move.

Tell me, friend, how long does it take you to get over spending $250 on that great meal for you and the wife?
