Certainly, so we hope. I do like the wide rec we took and I like the first round choice too. Last one has me shaking my head though.

There is obviously factors that we all aren't aware of. Payton could have saw him play and had an instant hard on. The player could have been more valued by teams than what the media thought. There are a ton of things, so I wouldn't be so quick to call Payton and Loomis an idiot over this. That being said, from an outsider perspective, I don't get the pick.

Looks like BPA went out the window with the last pick, considering the other talent that was available when we selected the 498th rated player.

Don't know who it was, but someone on NFL Network said the Leonard pick made sense because of the lack of depth on the o-line for the Saints. He said Leonard can play all across the line and could be the swing player the Saints need.

Yea, that makes sense. Probably a guy that they could see playing multiple positions on the line.

How do you know that? Who had him rated 498? Which GM? Which head coach?

I mean when it comes down to it, we probably need a guy that can be inserted anywhere on the line encase of an injury more than a guy that plays one position and has starter potential.

I feel like they picked Leonard to be a mauler on the o-line that they can mold into a G or T. I'm not hurt by the pick at all - we need more bodies up front.
