Hiring Moore = Ashton Jeanty as 1st rd pick?

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 😉

I don't use the word terrible lightly, and I don't call players terrible. I'm saying that the draft value of Ruiz was terrible, for the results we got. He wasn't very good his first two years. Not what you'd expect from a 1st round pick. And Penning, even this offseason looked like he was going to be a bust. I don't care about fan buzz. What I'm saying is that the Saints need to have a "hit", at any position - to win games because the Saints just don't have the horses to impact the game outside of a couple of aging players. And if the Saints are still looking for an impact players 2 years from now, we will be looking for a new coach again.
