How about GMs with the highest percentage of winning Super Bowls?

percentages are artificially skewed upwards bc Roger always takes picks away from us.

Dallas drafts pretty well.
You think that OL fell out of the sky?

They screw up contracts all the time though.

not really, I was already aware of this. We've had 13 drafts (THIRTEEN!!!) under Loomis, and he has drafted exactly 3 guys on defense that have played in a combined 4 Pro Bowls.


Our offense has obviously been a machine. To a point where a ton of our OL have gotten pub because of Brees.

So we have an eye for talent?

Or has Drew Brees helped lots of fresh faces to the Pro Bowl?

You think Jerry was behind the decision to draft those O-line men? He fought the Zack Martin pick tooth and nail and wanted Manziel.

Looks correct to me.

I would think that using percentages as opposed to just number of picks to make the PB, makes it less skewed, but what do I know?

We're pretty critical of our misses, but I'm sure most fan bases feels the same way at times. Looks to be that our problem is the lack of draft picks rather than scouting. IIRC, we've had the least amount of picks over the last ~5 years. I am pretty excited to see what they do with these 8 picks this year.

Not counting this year we've had 9 drafts. While we have had 9 first round picks we've only had 4(less than half) of our second rounders. Overtime that hurts. It makes the misses hugely magnified.

We've also had 8 third rounders and 7 fourth rounders meaning we're down 8 top half picks in 9 drafts.

Agreed. Kat Terrell (Nola.com) put out a mock today that has us using #13 and #44 to move up to #6 for Vic Beasley. I would love Beasley on this team, but not at the cost us giving up our 2nd. Regardless of how the top 12 shaking out, there should be someone at 13 that can help us out this year. We have to great of needs to give up #44.

They pull this sort crap off almost every draft....where has it gotten us? When you're at #13, there's quality players on the board; put a little work into it and make the damn pick.
