But selecting a projected UDFA in the 4th round, how dumb are the FO?

I dunno man.. we can only hope they've got something up their sleeve regarding this guy. A common theme amongst our picks this year seems to be guys who are considered unfinished products. Maybe they're trying to adopt the Patriots philosophy of bringing in guys and molding them in their desired image.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

At 6’7 I highly doubt he can play guard and center
