According to Google AI, the Saints is the worst drafting team in the NFL. I think they will be well served to honor Pete Carroll as their czar for drafting. Pete is too old and lost too many steps as czar for an entire football operation. But he is still energetic and in the early years, we certainly benefited from Pete's knowledge on college players.

Do you think a team like the Saints should hire Pete as the super scout? Not just the Saints, but teams that haven't drafted well in recent years.

++++
The New Orleans Saints have been considered one of the worst drafting teams in the NFL in recent years:
Poor draft history: Between 2018 and 2021, nearly 60% of the Saints' picks never became primary starters.
Recent draft performance: The Saints have not performed well in recent drafts.

Pete isn't a draft wiz, that was Scott who did the legwork for them back then.
Pete doesn't need a dumpster fire of a franchise to muddy him up more.

Seahawks drafted well the first 4-5 seasons after Pete joined the team, our draft record suffered after that.

That's being generous. First 3 yes. Drafts 4 and 5 were both brutal. Out of 20 picks, we got Justin Britt and Luke Wilson. And Wilson wasn't anything special, just a fan fav, while Britt was solid but no pro bowler or anything.

Seahawks drafted well, at times, but have not drafted consistently well
Really, 2 years I think, his first 2 years when he was familiar with college players, after that it seemed like throwing dices.

Drafting is a crap shoot, even for the best general managers. 2013, the season they won the Super Bowl, started with a disastrous draft:

Nobody does. Was Jake Moody in the 3rd round a wise draft choice considering how bad he is at kicking the football bud? Your squad is ass and old as all get out and will be in last place tomorrow afternoon guy lmfao

I’ll take the 49ers draft record over the Seahawks since Lynch and Shanahan took over

The Saints may not be known for drafting well but what they do well is identifying talent from free agency. That is how they have been competitive so long.

We will see if the Saints climb back to .500 as well as the Bucs and if the Falcons start to come back to earth as a .500 team.

Lynch is awful. You’re screwed for future cap and have an horrible DC in Sorensen. Fred Warner got played today by Geno
Seahawks finally win against the 49ers and you’re in here running your mouth like they’ve been relevant for the last five years. You owe me 100$ . When you pay me I’ll actually consider what you say valid

True, but you also had a LOT of high draft picks when the team sucked. Hawks were almost always drafting in the high 20s for several years.

Come on man, I hate the Niners more than anyone, but Lynch is awful? I don't know that anyone plays Fred Warner. I don't like him, but he's a flat-out monster.

Bro you didn’t give me your cash app preference and I thought it was a Seahawk Kerry Hyder color rush jersey we bet for
