Saints' 2018 rookie class earns B- grade

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Jeff Ireland needs to earn my trust again after this whiff compared to the previous draft that we killed! It's going to be hard to do with limited draft capital but it can be done.....I believe!...

Cmon Rugs the draft is a crap shoot anyway... re visit Jeff Ireland's list of players he's selected just over the last 2 seasons.

Shimmy Rankins
Can't Guard Mike
V Bell
80 grams (David Onyemata)
Marshon Lattimore
Ramz
Marcus Williams
Kamara
Thor (Anzalone)
Davenport

He's earned my trust as a scout/evaluator of talent regardless of how poorly the last draft turned out. Most of the aforementioned guys are already good to ELITE players at their respective positions.

Who's on that list from last year besides Davenport(which cost two first round draft picks)? You show why he earned my trust to begin with......but what have you done for me lately? Just sayin'.....

Edit: Didn't he join us three years ago at the Senior bowl? If I recall his first draft was OK because he didn't have the full time with our scouting department to get a good feel for all the players. The he nailed it after a full year with the Saints.(I might remember this wrong though) I do credit him with cleaning out the scouting department and getting solid evaluators in here. Maybe the vision wasn't clear enough for him from the front office on what to bring in last year.
