Saints top 2 receivers were both 7th round picks (1 Viewer)

Colston is my favorite Saints receiver followed by Eric Martin. For some reason I never put it together until today that Martin was also a 7th round pick. Learn something new every day...

Eric Martin was one of the toughest and best hand receiver we had back then

Agree. Loved watching him play. And that shoulder pad shrug after every tackle lol. Until Colston came along, Martin was my favorite Saints receiver of all time.

My only thing I wish he have was speed. I kind of compare him to Sterling Sharpe but slower.

Wes Chandler was our best receiver ever... but wasn't here long enough to pad the stats for his time with the Saints.

Which is why he wouldn't be on the list for top 'Saints' receivers.

Gee... thanks for explaining it.

After all, no one could have figured that out based on what I posted.

You did post Chandler was "our best receiver ever"; which he wasn't, by any measure.

He didn't amass stats, but all the clutch catches, I'll put undrafted Lance Moore there too..

I loved both Eric and Marques, but I’d have to have Joe up there too.

Yep, Martin was slower than a line at the DMV, but he would catch just about anything that Bobby Hebert threw in his direction. That's one reason why I hated to see Hebert jump all over him publicly when Eric decided to cross the picket line during the NFL strike. Martin did a lot to make Bobby's career numbers look as good as they did.

Chandler was very good, but he played one more year than Colston actually and Colston had more catches, yards and TD's....That said, different eras and all but they were vastly different WR's.....I'd take Colston over Chandler every day of the week...some of the hits he took fairly regularly would end Chandler's season....

i guess no love for M.T anymore?

These are excellent players but lets face it whether you love or hate M.T until his injury he was at hieghts never achieved at his position in the NFL.

So you're saying we need to start using every 7th round pick we have on WR's? I like that strategy.

I think he means top 2 in receiving yards:
