The prayers and big questions were answered: Erik McCoy is a Saint

Expensive, but necessary need-based pick; pardon the pun, but I hope he's the real McCoy or Drew's retirement may come on very suddenly, though he did well against the elite in the draft class.

Goes to show the shift in the Saints FO value at Center. Our Guards are no where near the level of what we had with Evans-Nicks, so we can't get away with Brian de la Puente-level talent at Center...

The real head scratcher, and the question none of the local media is asking - with the difference in guaranteed money between Kelemete and Easton only being $1mil, why didn't we just extend Kelemete last year?!?

We'd had a healthy LG for the Rams playoffs game and a reliable, trusted lineman at Center now; plus, we there'd been less pressure to move up to make the McCoy pick, leaving more options in this draft...
