So the Saints are better at drafting than the Patriots and the 2019 draft is almost just as good as the 2017 draft. Got it.

I normally hate when people make fun of other peoples mistakes and such. But this is hilarious! Well done!This thread promises to be "Quite" a doozy
You have any data for this?Don’t look into it. Studies like this one are typically done by people with very limited understanding on how to conduct a study.
I mean all of us are doing this to an extent, but you started with a conclusion and worked your way backwards- focusing on faults and to generate a narrative (most egregious is the ‘sitting out/commitment to football’ thing - yikes that’s a troubling take)The Saints have been very good at drafting in the recent past. Some years they absolutely nail it. But.....not always. Occasionally they have a clunker draft. On paper this year looks to be one of those -
1st - Turner - a big raw DE that should’ve dominated in college but didn’t. 10 career sacks in college (total, not a single season)
2nd - Werner - he’s “good” at everything but not “great” at anything.
3rd - Adebo - could’ve been a late first or high second round pick but opted out of the 2020 season with the Covid protocol. What does his skipping out on a crucial season say about his love/commitment to the game.
4th - Book - a scrappy undersized QB.....that the coach admits he sees himself in. Not to be too harsh on Payton but his NFL career consisted of being a replacement player during the players strike of 1987.
6th - Young - a giant lumbering OT who at best might be Zach Strief part two, at worst a camp body.
7th - Baker - a slightly more solidly built version of Trequan Smith. Can he stay healthier than Smith? We’ll see.
Honestly it’s too early to tell. Once these guys strap on pads their assessments may change completely but until then this sure looks like a clunker......

And my questioning of Adebo‘s opting of the season seems valid to me. Unless Adebo has a medical reason for opting out - diabetes, lung issues, etc. Let me put it like this - you don’t think Trevor Lawrence‘s love/commitment to the game wouldn’t be questioned had he opted out of the 2020 season?
Do you have evidence on the contrary?You have any data for this?
This was the quote in question:Do you have evidence on the contrary?
And yes I do have evidence.
Here is one of many articles.
