No shite.

People on here will defend Loomis' draft accuracy, and in the next breath bash Mel Kiper. The shite is hard.


shite Micky Loomis is like 0-10 in drafting LB's over his tenure alone. we arent even talking 1 year. That's like a span of 12 years or so.

Kiper is usually pretty legit when it comes to college players and I admire that he stands by his opinion and gives reasoning. No one is perfect.

Where I question him is when it comes to the NFL. I have no issue with him mocking a DE/pass rush OLB to us, but his reasoning makes no sense and anyone could see we didn't lack for a pass rush by simply looking at team stats.

I really don't know the behind the doors process, but I have to believe that Loomis only picks the players his coaches push for. I also believe that Payton has the last word on all picks.

Loomis is not a talent evaluator; he is

i think the last time the Saints drafted a LB in the 1st round was Mark Fields. 1995...1996?

oddly enough, he was the last one that was really worth a shite draft wise.

Vilma and Fujita were solid but both were free agents. Lofton has done okay but meh... I was hoping for a little bit more.

I used to get super annoyed late in the Haslett era during the draft. It was like he was playing some cruel inside joke on the Saints and the fans.

I don't know how involved Loomis was in the player selection back then but shite... terrible.

i remember wanting Derrick Johnson one year but they took Jamaal Brown instead. Brown was okay i guess but he sure didn't stick around long with the team.

Johnson has lasted a long time with the Chiefs. Still doing alright for them I think.
