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

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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 ...

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

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.

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.

Exactly. It appears to be working well.

Thanks for cleaning the link up for me fellas. You’d think at this point that using computers would be easier for me. 🙄

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.

DALLAS — A common, lingering question at the top of the NFL Draft is what were the New Orleans Saints doing? What were they thinking?

The Saints moved up 13 spots in the first round in a trade with the Green Bay Packers to select Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport at No. 14. The cost included their 2019 first-round draft pick.

Too much for a developing player from a small school, critics offered. A reach, others scolded.

But the Saints’ NFL peers know better. They are noticing the Saints’ recent method of draft business. The Saints in last year’s draft found instant defensive (cornerback Marshon Lattimore) and offensive (running back Alvin Kamara) playmakers along with other distinguishing rookie contributors.

I believe Davenport is a strong bet to continue the trend.

What was New Orleans thinking?

The key is they were thinking.

The Saints are drafting now with player learning methods at the forefront.

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