Thoughts about our draft picks after a week?

I appreciate all of the takes, but I offer a different view on the belief that the Saints were so talented in recent years that we should not have expected many drafted players to make our roster. Three points. First, in the salary-cap era, no team is so talented that it can think few drafted players can make its team.

Second, in the last three years, we were active in free agency, and we had undrafted free agents make our roster.

Third, this team needs depth at every position. It needs a clear-cut number two receiver, two more tight ends, two more offensive linemen, a running back, a defensive tackle, a linebacker, and one to two cornerbacks. When veterans leave for money in free agency, a team hopefully has younger players to take their place. This is not really happening this year because our drafts from 2018 to 2020 overall were not terribly productive.
