Tankathon: Saints top 5 draft pick watch-Updated

Saint KayBee said
All over the GD draft. WHICH IS THE POINT! It’s the exact reason I don’t do draft speculation. The Rick Leonard pick was the moment I checked out of that gambit altogether.

Sometimes there’s not a Guy in an entire pick radius, but they have no trade partner, so they roll the dice on a prospect who at least makes sense (which in the Rick Leonard case it absolutely didn’t, then to add insult to insult they assigned him Jahri Evans’ #73). Each of those six teams who selected a player before Andrus Peat thought they were getting a Guy. Other than 3 years of Todd Gurley and 1 year of Vic Beasley, none of them did.

The team has to do better scouting - NOT better losing.

One more loss in 2015 and Patrick Mahomes is our QB, SP is still our HC and we have at least one more Super Bowl to show for it. Instead KC swooped us and we ended up with Latt. Draft position matters.

Of course great players can be found in every round but it's not exactly a hot take to point out that the higher your pick the more talent will be available to you. You have more options. Your picks hold more value if you want to trade up.

And I don't understand why you felt the need to drag Rick Leonard into this.
