Hiring Moore = Ashton Jeanty as 1st rd pick?

Players like Turner, Davenport, and Foskey are absolutely failures for where they were picked. It doesn't matter if they go on to be stars somewhere else. It didn't help the Saints any. Penning has been a failure till this year, and it took Ruiz, what 3 years to not be terrible? Fuaga had a pretty good rookie season, but not enough to move the needle. There's still talk of moving him to guard, so he's been far from dominating at LT.

The point is that the Saints haven't drafted a real impact player in years. The only real impact players the Saints have on the team are old. The only player that the Saints have on offense that teams have to gameplan for is Hill, and he's old. And when he's down, they suck. So, if the Saints don't hit on one, or if it takes 3 years for him to develop, the new HC will likely be coaching somewhere else in about 3 years. So, if you have to overdraft a player to make sure you hit on someone, I think it's worth it - at least this year. Not every year.
Lots of airbrushing of the facts in this for me, e.g. characterising Ruiz as terrible isn't accurate, he was a borderline starter at RG, rather than a Tony Mandarich-level bust, until he improved into a solid starter. Penning wasn't a failure this year, after two injury-dominated years to start out. The Fuaga pick was perfect meeting of need and BPA and he's been excellent, the guard talk is just fan speculation because of all the OT prospects.

And even if you were entirely accurate, none of it would warrant overdrafting just to give fans a small buzz of excitement on draft day. That doesn't win your team any games, and it never will.

For the DEs I won't argue, though 😉
