Re: Your teams NFL Draft Grade
I give the Saints a B+
We didn't get Dorsey but Ellis is close behind him according to most reports. Dorsey got higher marks because he played half this last season hurt and still had an impact.
Saints did good on concentrating on defensive players with the exceptions of the drafting a kicker - which we really need - and for the big question mark named Carl Nicks. I hate seeing a team use a draft pick on someone who has had maturity and other problems. On the other hand, if he can get his feces together he may be a good pick.
I only give the Saints the B+ because I feel they should have also gone for a QB in the late rounds to challenge Palko for the back-up position. My pick (yeah, it's a homer) would have been Matt Flynn. He gets no respect from the media but he has the potential to be a good, tough quarterback down the road. But, when you are missing picks in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th round, you have to address your needs first and see who will get cut by their teams.
