Lots of players have been worth a damn and lots of trades and free agents have been worth a damn, it's not mickey's responsibility to develop and make sure talent is used appropriately.

2010

Patrick RObinson- 1st serviceable NFL player
Al Woods 4th didnt even make team

ill reserve judgement on 11'& 12' draft classes


but this is why our defense is so bad.

You bust on top 10 picks like Ellis & Sullivan. You only get serviceable player at 14 overall with Jenkins. ANd the biggest reason of all, the guys in the mid rounds that we have drafted under Loomis have all been worthless. These guys are instrumental to building team depth & occasionally hitting on a pro bowl type player.

Not only did these guys not turn into that, MANY of them couldn't even make the team. Think about that. And you want me to give him a break? No thanks. I didnt like him Pre Payton, and i dont like him now. He cant evaluate talent for shite.

On offense Payton and Brees can mask anything. That is why we have so many late round picks thrive. They'd be garbage on most other teams.
