Viking now have 17 picks in this draft lol (1 Viewer)

[SaintsBrah]

Quality over quantity for us I guess

 

[El Caliente]

I bet 5 of them last more than a year in the league.

This was a top heavy draft, meaning it took more to trade up into the higher rounds. I’m good with what we did and makes it way better knowing we didn’t get rid of any of next years picks

Ummm...

The Vikings have a pretty good team. No way all those are making it. They will definitely be trying to sneak someone in the practice squad. I'm sure Payton and Loomis will be watching them closely. How funny would it be that someone they draft with one of our picks gets cut and ends up on our bench. Lol

This is wasting a quality saints personnel and scouting department. Senseless.

They will be lucky to have 5 make the team.

"well we have all these guys now lets get em in here and take a look! Oh..."

 

[FLIPPY]

and the Saints will still do better in UFA picks...

And if that scouting department had good things to say about the later rounds of the draft, I'm sure we wouldn't have given away the rest of our picks.

with so little time to evaluate fresh faces this year, there could be prime opportunity to pilfer other teams cuts and practice squads.

When SF had all those picks a few years ago, how many stuck?
I have no idea but the theory of more picks equal more keeps does seem sound
An above average draft would seem to be 5 keeps from 7 picks
I doubt there’s a 1:1 correlation by increasing picks (6 from 8, 7 from 9, etc)
I would think the floor stats pretty consistent: 5 maybe 6 maaayyybbbe 7 but I think diminishing returns sets in pretty quickly

Very good points here.
There is a lot to be said by watching some of these other teams Roster Cuts.
Esp. during this whole process, im sure alot more than normal are going to fall through.

 

[JvilleJoe]

They are really going to have a mere few weeks to actually evaluate these 17 guys on the field. Some will be stashed on the practice squad but I bet most will just be cut.

Didn't the Browns do that one year? They had like 12 or 13 picks?
