I may not know as much about football X's & O's as my fellow members and friends, but I do know that you win in the trenches baby! And I'm always excited when we pick an O-line or D-line in the first round unlike most folks. Most people don't think it's sexy to draft the big uglies in the first round but I do. You win in the trenches and winning is sexy!

The Saints have proven that you can get good skill position players after the first round. A couple of examples are Kamara and Thomas. Most teams are built with early to mid round talent but we know how to find early talent later in the draft. We've always fielded one or two UDFA's that showed out in their role with the team.
