Analysis: Saints’ cuts more about strength of roster than players selected

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; BS. These cuts show this DRAFT (outside of perhaps the 1st and 3rd pick) was a disaster. Hope whoever ran/approved it catches hell like after the 2014 draft disaster (don't think we have anyone still left on the roster from ...

Re: Analysis: Saints’ cuts more about strength of roster than players selected

BS. These cuts show this DRAFT (outside of perhaps the 1st and 3rd pick) was a disaster.

Hope whoever ran/approved it catches hell like after the 2014 draft disaster (don't think we have anyone still left on the roster from '14).

We passed on these players in order to take and cut our picks:

- 4th: DT and former top 10 player Maurice Hurst.

- 5th DE Fitts, CB Nicherson, QBs White and Falk

- 5th and 6th: WR St. Brown, OT Senat

Bad draft unless we hit on our 1st. Pathethic.

And, speaking of pathethic (our defense agains the run), I still wish we'd taken NT Phillips over our good WR in the 3rd. Someone should be removed from draft-making decisions.

The article is nothing more than the media trying to sell us on the idea that it wasn’t a bad draft class. The Saints are a product and sports media is nothing more than an industry specific commercial. Winning alone will sell season tickets and merch for now, but they have to keep the ticket sales coming in when a team is 2-14.
Perfect example is how Bobby and Kristain flip flopped from calling Bridgewater a bust to comparing him to Russel Wilson and loving the idea the very next day.

I seriously put more stock in some of the crap that Guido posts than I do in anything put out by the sports media.
Davenport is going to be worth the price and I have a feeling he will contribute more to stopping the run than most people think
