The way he's played, Marques Colston would have been the best pick from the 2006 NFL Draft had he gone in the first round. Considering he went in the seventh round, he's among the best picks in NFL history.
the author is a severe hater...why would he harp on the fact that "yea the Saints are smart...but they not THAT smart"...to be his article's premise? i mean...dude what benefit does that have?
great article on Colston,...but it leaves me scratching my head wondering why he felt it relevant to make a point about a team who "wasn't as smart as everyone thinks"....

Your comments seem silly. Even Mickey Loomis seems to agree with the writer. He said they only picked him so they wouldn't have to bid for his services against other teams. He also said they didn't see anything in him at the combine that particularly stood out about him.
So the writer is correct--this was largely a lucky pick. Otherwise, they'd have taken Colston in the 4th round at the latest, and only waiting that long because no one else seemed interested in him.
There was obviously a hole in this kid or else somebody else would have taken him and there wouldn't have been talk about signing him as a free agent had he remained undrafted. Now, I'm still looking for the hole because I don't see it. Maybe they were worried about his transition between TE and WR? Or maybe he was dropping a lot of lot of balls. What good does having a prototype do if the prototype can't catch the ball.
