I have to agree with something Bill Polian said on NFL Radio recently. There is no such thing as a "reach" or as a "value pick" in the draft. If you want a player you do what it takes to get that player and then you move on. He said what it takes to get a player that you want or when you get that player is no longer relevant once the player is selected. You just move on. He says that all of this post draft talk by people that have less than 50% of the information available to those that make the actual picks is meaningless.

I couldn't agree more. Nobody knows how any of these players are going to turn out in three or four years, but those individuals have more information to go on than ANYONE outside their very tiny circle. He said that the scouting department (including head of scouting), have no idea about the details of the medical testing or of any of the conclusions that are based upon the tests. He said outside of the GM and head coach nobody is aware of the personal evaluations of the potential draftees.

Personally, I simply hope each and every player the Saints pick up from wherever turns out to be great.
