I believe that if you draft O-line early then your success rate goes up automatically. When we try plugging in mid round guys we keep missing but our success record under Ireland drafting the big uglies in the first round has really paid off. McCoy was a second rounder but he was our first pick in the draft. Remember the 7-9 seasons? When we gave Drew more time the Saints started going 13-3. You win in the trenches. Payton/Ireland has proven that you can get starting talent in the mid rounds for the skill positions. However, I certainly agree that we nailed this draft!

So, I respect your opinion but I like mine better.
