Kool Aid McKinstry: How do you like the pick? (1 Viewer)

[dutar76]

I'm fine with the pick. Good player at a position that's hard to find and acquire good players, and very expensive to sign proven vets. I feel the same about the first round pick. We always discuss and debate NEED vs BPA, and a lot of folks think that CB wasn't a need. I get that, but I don't think you can ever have to many offensive linemen or cornerbacks. Same goes for a few other positions, but fielding a shaky OL and street FAs and UDFAs in the secondary oughta be pretty fresh in the minds of saints fans. Having three stud CBs on the field and one on the bench might seem like a waste, until it's week 7 and you're starting a special teamer at LCB and QBs are using that dude like an ATM at a casino on 3rd and long, all game, every game.

The draft is for acquiring players to improve your team and for filling out your roster. Sometimes you fill current holes on your roster, sometimes you fill upcoming holes. If you wait to fill holes AFTER they become holes, you're usually desperate. Desperation leads to desperate bad decisions. Even if you hit on your desperate decision, the player has to be ready immediately with no time to develop. So drafting to fix an immediate problem isn't a horrible decision, but if THAT player isn't available (according to your scouting process), then drafting a really good player to solve a future crisis isn't a bad play at all. And that's what we did last night.

You had a hose!? Lucky you. We drank straight from the faucet.

Lucky you, we werent allowed to drink!

Can't help but laugh at Dennis saying "well look" at every press conference.

He has also picked up Payton’s “By and large,” “encouraged,” and “the player” rather than just saying “he” or the player’s name habit.

Must be nice, all we had to drink growing up was water from the hose….

You had water? Elitist!

 

[Optimus Prime]

Water main? Must have been nice. We had to carry buckets to the creek.

You had a creek?

We had to go outside and open our mouths when it was raining

You could go outside? I was chained in the basement and had to drink the runoff.

A basement and chains? That’s a fantasy for a lot of people.

Don't like the pick. I don't have a problem with the player; the jury's still out on him.

 

[KleinBottle]

Wish we still had Smoke Monday, would make this the best-named secondary ever. Happy with the pick - you can never have too many good cornerbacks in the NFL now

I got no issues with them taking a CB from Bama. They profile him as a steady player. Like any guy, it's a win if he plays a lot of snaps next year, and not just on special teams. I read many of you saying he had a first round grade.

What jury in who's courtroom?

What jury in who's courtroom?

The 100 yard courtroom that convenes on Sundays. The draft ain't the game for anybody.

Ok then it makes even less sense. Koolaid was a stud at Alabama.
