I guess he had to pick SOMEBODY from the Saints. I'd have picked PT but Meach is a good call, Devery had an amazing year 2 after his red shirt season with the Saints maybe the same will happen with Meach he certainly had great talent.
I agree...if he had done his homework, I think he would of seen Pierre as the player to watch, but with Meachem being a 1st round pick, I can see why he went the that route....I don't really understand why people are down on this guy like he blew out his knee and was lost for the season, I think the circumstances in which he was put in was a bigger reason for his not being thrust into the lineup, I mean WR don't get time on the bench to learn, they get put in the game...but with the dept we already had and the expectations put on the team, it seemed as though, Payton was in no rush to put the guy in, even when he became healthy....he didn't spend all last year rehabbing his knee, he spent it learning the play book at the 3 receiver positions (and rehabbing his knee) he's no bust, that was a Coaches decision not to play him.
