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
