Re: My thought on the 2018 draft

I don't know about you but I'm always down after the NFL draft,I see where we passed on a player that I had a vision for. We didn't address a certain position or pick some player I hadn't heard of. All of us obsessing fans have to face the fact that we are amateurs and these other guys are the pros .I don't think that we are ignorant of that we are wrong. The personnel people are wrong often but they are better informed than me and you. Some of the players we picked will exceed our expectations and other will not. This happens on every team.
I am excited to see how it all plays out
We all need to just relax and enjoy what will be a interesting training camp
It is just a game
It is just a game
It is just a game
WHO DAT

You can't grade the pick by the player.

Grade by vision & fit. Coach Payton is a visionary.

Where the saints failed was in not being able to fill needs at TE,DT,LB.

Those needs were nowhere as critical as with the need for a quality edge rusher. We have Ben Watson, Fleener and Josh Hill at TE. That's not really bad. We also have Onyemata and Tyeler Davison in addition to Sheldon Rankins at DT. By adding Davenport at the other DE it is going to help free up the middle. As for linebacker, the addition of Mario Davis could very well be more important than any LB we could have drafted. We still have A.J. Klien, who looked great, as well as Anzalone, Te'o, Craig Robertson, Stupar, Mauti and Kikaha on the squad. There is a lot of speed in that group. And don't forget we have DL coach Ryan Neilsen and LB coach Mike Nolan now in their second year.

What we really needed more was depth on the offensive line and improvement to the special teams. Those more dire needs were very well addressed.
