^^ reading that a 4th rounder & a 6th rd pick "stand out" at camp speaks volumes on our Scouting dept led by Jeff Ireland.

Saquan has just made these WOW stand-out plays...

7th rounder Ellis too, I hear.

Yep. He'll need a couple of years of development to man a starting gig, but he has the strength, speed, athleticism to man a LBer spot in about two seasons...

In the meantime, he's gonna eventually replace Robertson on the kick coverage teams...

Yep. Last year when I was at the Zurich Classic, I made a comment to some friends who tend to get some Saints scoops more right than naught, that Payton had that foolhardy look...

They responded that I should be prepared for a disappointing draft as Payton was definitely more active in steering the draft than in 2017...

The Head Coach's input in the draft is invaluable, but it shouldn't be absolute...

If they'd just let Ireland do his job and they'd respect the mantra - Do Your Job, we'd see more 2017 draft results...
