[Merged] Saints Select Clemson DT Bryan Bresee
Eagles getting J. Carter with our original 1st rd pick hurts. We needed interior DL help and they got the best one in the draft with our pick fresh off a SB appearance.
Loomis really screwed the pooch trying to force upgrading two positions in the 1st rd last season. I still think that it was a terrible idea considering that the team had no starting QB.
The fact that Jalen Carter dropped to them tells me what I need to know. His arrest in January, showing up at workouts out of shape tells me he is lazy and not focused.
He will probably do well in Philly due to the fact he has familiar faces around him and also because there are good players around him to hide his weakness ( just like at Georgia).
I don't think Carter would have done well at other places where he had to be " the guy."
As far as trading with the Eagles, it was done before the Eagles made good off their trades and got players to make them a Super Bowl contender. ( This was made before they got Brown in trade w/ Titans and got the other 2 Georgia guys last year).
Saints needed an elite WR due to 2 years of inactivity from Mike Thomas and there was a run on them by the time Saints picked.
Saints also needed a LT desperately. Olave looks to be a homerun hit . Jury still out on Penning but he will be a starter ( barring another rash of injuries )
So hindsight is 20-20 . A lot of people will crown Philly the Draft winners based off who they picked last night,
They still have to play and who knows, Philly could suffer thru some injuries this upcoming season.
