Pan away, but be prepared to eat the proverbial crow.
Nobody is claiming to be psychics or knowing it all. And your questions are designed to intimidate anyone who disagrees by infusing the unrealistic & the improbable.

None of us met & worked out all 250+ prospects individually. None of us work for or in an NFL war room. Yet that's your prevailing argument for any voice that questions anything this great team does. It's an intimidation tactic that's designed to render opposing opinion invalid & worthless.

The Saints F.O. is not infallible. I give props where props are due. The 3rd Rd pick was decent and the 5th-7th Rd picks were on point. I just don't like the price we paid for MD (unless he Pro Bowls it in 3-5 yrs). The 4th was a complete waste.

There are very knowledgeable football folks on here...30+ years worth for a bunch of us. We should have a voice without the veiled intimidation.

When MD becomes a Pro Bowler & Slick Rick cracks the PS, I'll go on the "All Crow" diet.

And what do you base your biased proclamation that the 4th round pick was a total waste? If he becomes the versatile swing OL that we need then how is that a total waste? How do you already know that is the final outcome?



I just guess we swing different ways. You choose to expect the worst while I more realistically choose to expect and hope for the best and wait to see how things shape up.

Because I'm psychic & I helped put his pads on before every game. Seriously? The improbable & unrealistic again.

I watched him play at FSU. Numerous times. He's just not that good. Blown up & whiffs too much. I'm going by what I saw on the field between the lines. Potential? Sure, but all prospects have potential. He's just not strong, quick, or balanced.

Please forgive this intrusive & uneducated opinion.

If he's coached up & motivated, a back-up swing man is possible 2-3 years away. There was just too much talent at that point of the draft who could have contributed THIS year. That's why it was a waste...could've got him much later. I know, I know...'How do you know we could've gotten him later?" I'm psychic.
