Projected as a UDFA by exactly which NFL GM's and head coaches?? They are the ones that matter. If the front office wanted him and had the feeling that they were not alone in that desire then making the move makes perfect sense.

Reaching like Plastic Man at this point. Might as well go for Ballage at this point or the one handed feller.

Head scratcher for sure.

The fact is that the front office knows far more about the individuals they consider drafting than most of the so called experts and every single person in the forum. I am confident that the move was warranted. You cannot evaluate any player drafted until you have seen them on an NFL field.

Man I did not want to say that, but this draft is starting to remind me of yesteryear when we screwed the pooch

Clearly hoping I am way wrong

Projected by who?

Everyone has projections... Saints have him home runs last couple of years. You have to trust their process at this point.

Yes and no. 2006 was a great draft for us and then a few years later we were making questionable selections. So yes and no

Exactly.

That feeling I had in 2014 has returned...just a 4th Rd garbage pick considering all the talent left on the board.

Sure they know more than I know, but this is a dumpster fire as far as I'm concerned. Leonard coulda been had in the 7th or UDFA.

2016 and 2017 drafts have been great. What is the difference? Jeff Ireland. This is not the same brain trust as those prior to 2016.
