Rick Leonard, how do you like the pick? (3 Viewers)

[Thunderchild]

Oh, is that what it reminds you of?
OK.

Great. Glad you think it is ok. I feel so much better now.

 

[Gekler722]

If there is any position that I wont question Payton on it is Oline.

The fan response reminds me of last year

• Lattimore: Hamstring injuries. He'll have problems staying on the field. We needed an end!
• Ram: OL? Seriously? We don't need OL. Need that DE.
• Williams: Way too early. We could have picked him later. Need that DE.
• Kamara: Man, he wasn't even the starter at Tenn.

yeah, absolutely nobody was complaining about reaching with any of those guys. All those guys mightve not filled the most pressing need in the view of many people but all were excellent value at the point they were drafted. That can not be said of Leonard or Jamerson, nor can it be said of the trade we needed to get to 14 as, when using draft charts, we overpaid by a mile

Um. A ton of people were complaining about the Ram pick and giving up a 2nd to get Kamara. Also, the draft charts say what we paid was fair to move up to 14. I'm not sure where you're getting your info but it's all bad.

Could be a Armstead-esque steal

we got 1100 and paid 1308.6, so thats giving up a 3rd rounder or something in trade value. And the hate for the picks were trading away future assets and bigger needs, not the value of the players or the trade, thats different.

DL to OL....nobody has heard of him...glaring weaknesses....picked in first 4 rds when expected to go much later....Andy Alleman all over again.

They must have really loved his athleticism. Big and fast like Armstead but not near as polished....kind of a head scratcher TBH. PS bound and coach em up for later I guess....

Good, bad, whatever he turns out to be... He's a Saints now.

 

[saintmdterps]

Took a UDFA-esque player in the 4th round. He'll need to do well very quickly to justify the pick.

 

[El Caliente]

We got some Sister Cleos on this board.

 

[efil4stnias]

I just voted hate it.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Given SP and company being able to find studs at O line late in the draft...

(Evans, Nicks, Strief.)

I’m good with a whiff on this one if that’s what it ends up being.
