Saints Draft Re-do 2020

Overall it was a weak Oline class, much like the year we took Penning. Just bc a player is rated the highest at their position, doesn’t mean that they are rated higher than another position. No way Ruiz was rated higher than the best RB in the nation. It’s all in part to the NFL’s devaluation of the RB position. We had a chance to have a super dominant backfield. Keep playing hindsight…..what could’ve been had we drafted Lamar, instead of Davenport.
Lamar, AK41, and Taylor. Who’s stopping that running attack? For the life of me, just pick BPA, regardless of position. It’s really not that hard

Sure that sounds fun in the hindsight machine. But if the Saints drafted a running back in the first round (who wasn't even the 1st RB drafted) the same off-season that they made AK the highest paid RB in the league, we would all have been scratching our heads. At the time Lat Murray was playing pretty darn well.

There have been reports that they did not like Jordan Love at all that year. which seems to be a poor evaluation, especially at that point of Drew's career. At the time, the head coach was saying he already had Drew's successor in the building.
