As a Carolina Panthers’ fan, I can’t begin to express my dislike for our opponent the New Orleans Saints. I was a first-hand witness to Roman Harper’s late hit on Steve Smith and Jimmy “Golden-boy” Graham’s repeated dives against the 5’7” Captain Munnerlyn. I cannot, however, fault them on their ability to make consistently good decisions in the off season that enable them to continually be a playoff contender.

One such approach that I cannot help but appreciate was their strategy in the 2011 draft. In case you don’t remember, the Saints took DE Cameron Jordan from Cal at #24, then traded up to take Mark Ingram at #28. As I was not in their war room, I can only speculate about their rationale. To me, however, it was brilliant. What New Orleans did was say, “Look, rather than take one elite player with an additional six that we can develop, why don’t we take two guaranteed talents and five that we can develop”. I think this was absolutely brilliant and could be emulated by anyone with any sense.
