2. New Orleans Saints: Stephone Anthony

This pick makes my blood boil because there is no logical rationale for it. There is no way you can tell me that Anthony is a first round talent. I have a third round grade on him, but saw him going somewhere in the second round. The 31st overall pick is way to early.

Then when you consider, Eric Kendricks, Benardrick McKinney, Denzel Perryman and Paul Dawson were better than him and available. Kendricks is the most instinctive, McKinney is the most versatile, Perryman is the strongest and Dawson is the fastest, yet you took Anthony? How many Saints fans uttered “Who Dat,” as a question instead of a celebration?

The pick was awful with a side of awful with a rotten cherry on top. This made no sense at all.
