Saints First Round Picks

bust definition is important too. a top 10 \"bust\" might be an okay pick if he was chosen in the 3rd or 4th rd instead. the higher the pick, the higher the expectations.

i don\'t mcpherson is a world beater but i do think he was an excellent 5th rd choice. i would have completely different feelings about him if he would have been chosen in the 2nd rd.

i agree, n.o. 1sts have been better than average. across the board though, not terrible, but not on par with the first rounders. a lot of the weakness is from not getting more out of 3rd rd or higher LBs\' hodge, allen, and grant. watson was okay but has a lot of room to grow. bockwoldt is the type of late round surprises you need every coupla yrs to be competitive in the nfl anymore.
