re: Dennis Allen >>> Sean Payton when it comes to the draft

How did that work out for Sean and company? Lots of mediocre seasons and only one Super Bowl despite having sure fire hall of famer Drew Brees for 15 years.

We've been a top 3-4 franchise over that period of time

So it worked out pretty well.

Also Sean/Mickey were mediocre-bad at drafting until they got Ireland in 2017, so you have to look at SP's career in eras

New England won 6 super bowls and played in 9 while employing a very different strategy

Dude New England picks more BPA than we do

Also, New England has an iffy draft history. They kept their roster stocked with veteran acquisitions (FA and trades) more than drafting.

frequently trading back in the draft in order to pick additional players on the cheap.

So you argue for picking for need, and then talk about New England doing the literal opposite as a success story?



We trade up for needs. They trade down to draft BPA.
