re: Why was Coach Payton on the phone with Foster before we picked?

The truth is probably inbetween.
The Saints were going to take Foster. Foster is too dumb to make up phantom phone calls. Loomis does damage control saying we had questions for Foster before Saints pick. But it's not like Saints are vetting this late... he was the Saints pick at #32.
We'll see how it works out for both teams. Ram could play 10+ stellar seasons in the league and Foster wash out. It's similar to Mahomes at #11. We'll see. But for initial reaction, Saints could have gotten better despite their best efforts otherwise.

They don't call picks before they are on the clock. Loomis said this is the first time they ever did and it was because they had questions (Payton later said he told him they'd call if he was their pick; it definitely wasn't calling him to tell him they were picking him before they were on the clock; they never did before and Payton is super paranoid about stuff like that to begin with).
Seeing that the questions were for his girlfriend I'm guessing they were trying to ask trap questions to see if he had lied about something (otherwise why are you asking her questions?).
And they could have talked to her pre draft if they really needed to ask her questions, so it definitely seems like this was a situation to catch them off guard.
