For example, Bryd was one of the highest graded safeties in the league when we signed him. But overall, they really have brought in some solid players and contributors.
People shite on the Byrd signing, but to be honest I would place the blame less on that and more on the failure to put him in the right situation.
Our chief need at the time of that signing was playmakers who can take the ball. Byrd did that in spades in Buffalo. You can see that he is not playing the same role now that he did with the Bills just by watching his highlights from then and watching him play now. He has not been used correctly.
It was a good signing, a good overall coaching staff would be reaping rewards from it now.

Lofton and Hawthorne are underrated in how shitty they were as signings because they're overshadowed by David, Browner, etc. The fact that we kept pushing their money made it worse.
Lofton is one of the most overrated Saints ever. He was pretty terrible. The fact that he lasted one year after the Saints proves it.
Grubbs was a tough one because he had a few good years then fell off completely.
