Here's a good comparison. Following the 2006 season when the Saints lost to the Bears in the NFC Champ Game, it was apparent to everyone that our defense was ass. Especially our pass defense. It was worst in the league I believe. So we all knew that it was holding us back. What was our first pick the next season? A Wide Receiver.
At the time we were pretty pissed about it, but at least I was able to console myself and go "OK, this guy led the SEC in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns. So it's not like he sucks." And it took him a while, but Robert Meachem is a bona fide stud now and is getting better and better.

I don't understand...
When we first drafted McCluster...I was pissed. And then I thought about it...and realized it was actually a very good pick...and then I was happy.
As for Meachem...meh. Interchangeable piece of an offense where any receiver could go and be productive (IMO, of course)...
