There was a method to the Saints’ draft madness. Really.

No, adverse to your continuous negativity about everything to do with the Saints this franchise is continuing to grow. I have no doubt whatsoever we'll bring in another Lombardi, or more, in the near future.

You just stay there in your little enclave expecting the worst.

Really? Those are the words you got from this?

My mind went to all the physically gifted idiots that never live up the hype in the NFL. It just doesn't seem like "reinventing the wheel" to me. It seems more like "why didn't somebody think of this already?"

Wtf is your deal man? You're not even a pessimist. Because pessimists usually have some kind of logic to their BS. Idk even know what yours is. Just rhetoric I suppose.

Did Sean Payton kick you in the nuts when you tried to shake his hand?

You must be fun at parties.

Why not trust the Saints FO that just produced one of the best drafts in the past 20 years an entire season ago instead ?

Do you really think Benson had any input into the draft philosophy of the Saints? LOL

I really like that approach. Most every player drafted or signed as a UDFA was the biggest, strongest, fastest player on their high school or college team. A bunch of them got by on pure physical talent others on hard work. The key is to find the players that fits in to both categories. The mental aspect is such a huge part of the game and is only getting bigger.

Exactly. It appears to be working well.
