Why the low draft grades?

Seeing pretty much grades of “C” across the board on all the sites.

Main criticism is we gave up too much- but haven’t seen any real criticism of the actual picks.

Considering we got 3 key pieces - it feels like a huge success.

1) We now have 2 WRs with vertical speed to stretch the field (Olave, Harris) and will free up Thomas in the slant game. Winston will have a much easier time with this.

2) 2 mean mauling tackles with Ram and Pennington, protecting Winston

3) A solid S replacement after losing Marcus Williams.

Love the picks so far. I clearly remember prior drafts where we cut half our picks or more anyways…so I say 3 potential starters is a win

It doesn't fit their pre-determined ideas of what the Saints are as a team or who they feel the Saints should draft. These are the same people who can't get a job with NFL teams doing the same thing. If the Saints don't value their opinions enough to hire them, I wouldn't concern myself with their criticism.

I certainly understand the criticism in regards to what the Saints gave up to acquire Olave and Penning. In a perfect world, I'd agree with them. However, all that matters is acquiring the player you feel fits your needs the best. Everything else is BS. If Olave and Penning turn into Pro Bowlers, no one will care what was given up.
