I think we've been doing it all wrong (Draft)

Don’t think we’ve been doing it wrong, it was based on scheme and how we built those Saints offenses around Drew Brees.

The main argument I made in the Bowers thread was around how this scheme tends to de-emphasize putting high draft picks on o-line. It’s also why I suggested that they entertained that trade w/ the Rams. It suggested they were willing to not draft Bowers (didn’t meet prototype) and Fuaga (de-emphasis). It also lined up with Jeff Ireland just before the draft saying they weren’t going to force drafting a tackle.

Had they moved back to 20 they could have gotten more compensation and maybe still drafted a tackle but would have had ammo for a skill position guy in the 2nd round.

With the way WR’s are getting paid I’d absolutely draft those guys more often.

On the flip side this is why I suggested the Saints offense could have a pretty solid upside because it’s the only Shanahan/Kubiak scheme with a vast amount of highly drafted and young talent on the o-line.
