Saints draft: Boom or bust? Only time will tell!!
TRACEY JAGNEAUX
NEW ORLEANS -- No question that after last year’s bountiful draft for the New Orleans Saints, the 2018 version of let’s take a chance would be scrutinized in a way that no other draft would be.
No matter who the Saints chose this year, the comparison to 2017 would be made, even though none of the players selected starting last Thursday had even taken a snap in the NFL.
So, how did the Saints do in this year’s installment? That all depends on who you ask. The range of grades looks like the report card of a seventh grader going through the change to adulthood: it is all over the map.
ESPN gave the Saints a C+, putting New Orleans just above average.
Bleacher Report, without providing any explanation with its rankings, gave the Saints a D, the lowest in the league along with Oakland and Seattle.
Yahoo and USA Today agreed with Bleacher Report and also rated the New Orleans draft as being D worthy. However, both NFL.com and CBS Sports had the Saints with a grade of B.
The biggest move of the draft for New Orleans came very early. The Saints made a bold move in the first round Thursday, trading next year’s first-rounder to move up and take Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport, a player who filled a need for a pressure player at the right defensive end spot the Saints have been trying to fill long-term for years.

Our offense vs their defense: Philadelphia Eagles
Alright, I’m drinking the Kool-Aid. This New Orleans Saints offense has been the best in the league through two weeks. Everyone, including myself, thought it was probably a fluke after their domination of Carolina in week one, but they proved that they’re legit with a 44-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
This week, the Saints come back home and will host the 1-1 Philadelphia Eagles, who are fresh off one of their worst losses in franchise history. According to NextGenStats, the Eagles had a 99.3% chance to win with less than two minutes left, making the Falcons comeback victory the seventh...

Dennis Allen was feeling good after the New Orleans Saints dominant performance over Dallas Cowboys. So good that he quoted Kendrick Lamar’s hit single “Not Like Us.” When addressing the team after the game, Allen told his players “sometimes you gotta just pop out and show ’em.”
Allen added his own flair to the quote, and the team exploded. Willie Gay can be seen jumping into the frame as Allen walks off.
The song is the biggest hit of the year, so it’s no surprise Allen has heard it. The surprise was that he quoted it after the game.
We have Allen’s son to thank for this clip. Allen...
