Im So Upset With Day 2 Draft Strategy

Last year the team drafted 6 defensive players and 3 offensive players and one of those was a backup QB. Focusing on D has actually been the norm. We can't just ignore offensive skill positions. Before Thomas the Saints only had 1 drafted WR and the other top players were UDFAs. That's ridiculous, really. You can't just pray that a Willie Snead falls in your lap every year.

I also disagree that you can find starting caliber WRs all over the place in the 4th round or later. Colston and Stills were exceptions. You usually end up with Nick Toon types.

This off season the Saints have bolstered every level of the defense. They added several LBs in free agency and Fairley on the line. So far in the draft they added the top DT and the 2nd rated FS. Plus, PJ Williams, Lewis and Swann will be back in the secondary. It's not all doom and gloom. We're a better team now than we were when the season ended.
