    Johnson left before his time; I think that was widely-agreed upon even before the draft. He was invisible for most of the year. Then he goes and tanks a drug test, so he obviously had his head up his ass.

    I agree and its not like the few they've selected have done poorly. Look at Eric Martin, Dalton Hilliard, Devery Henderson to name a few.

    Not only that but though he had the measurables, size, strength & speed; his defects, poor feet and short arms and inconsistent motor were more important to his performance on the field.

    Saints again make it impossible for me to root for them.

    I'm confused. People can't pull for the Saints because they passed on JC Copeland when they didn't have a 7th round pick and already signed a FB to a 4 year deal this offseason?

    Look at where the Saints pick and where the LSU players went. The only one that you could argue is Landry, but the Saints went WR first round and had bigger needs on defense.

    The 2014 NFL Draft was absolutely loaded; so loaded that several notable players didn’t get drafted.

    We’ll recap all the SEC’s draft picks soon, but let’s talk about notable players who saw round seven come to an end without hearing their names called:

    • Connor Shaw, QB, South Carolina
    • LaDarius Perkins, RB, Missisippi State
    • Henry Josey, RB, Missouri (early entrant)
    • Rajion Neal, RB, Tennessee
    • Ben Malena, RB, Texas A&M
    • L’Damian Washington, WR, Missouri
    • Marcus Lucas, WR, Missouri
    • Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee (early entrant)
    • Anthony Steen, OG, Alabama
    • Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU (early entrant)
    • Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina (early entrant)
    • Garrison Smith, DL, Georgia
    • Adrian Hubbard, OLB, Alabama (early entrant)
    • Marcus Roberson, CB, Florida (early entrant)
    • Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida (early entrant)
    • Vic Hampton, CB, South Carolina (early entrant)
    • Deon Belue, CB, Alabama
    • Chris Davis, CB, Auburn
    • Charles Sawyer, CB, Ole Miss
    • Craig Loston, S, LSU
    • Kenny Ladler, S, Vanderbilt
    • Nickoe Whitley, S, Mississippi State

    I'm an LSU fan, I'm not a Saints fan. The Saints have zero LSU players on their roster, so I'm not really going to pull for them if they play teams with LSU Tigers on them.

    @LaSalleAve So do you only pull for NFL teams that have LSU players on the roster? Or do you have a favorite for other reasons? Or not an NFL fan at all?

    I like the NFL, I've never had a favorite team though, just players. I follow the league as a whole basically.
