And don't forget drafting RB Micheal Turner in the 5th round of the 2004 Draft. Future 2x Pro Bowler (2008,2010), one first team All Pro (2008) & second team All Pro (2010)

As well as HOF LaDainian Tomlinson in the 2001 Draft while Smith was Director of Pro Personnel/Assistant GM.

LT 2006 NFL MVP & NFL Offensive Player of the Year, 3x first team All Pro, 3x second team All Pro, 5x Pro Bowler, 2x NFL rushing leader & 3x NFL rushing TD leader.

Also, Smith signed Lorenzo Neal as a FA in 2003. Neal ended being a Pro Bowler at FB in 05, 06 & 07. First team All Pro in 06 & 07.

He drafted Antonio Cromartie in 2006. Cromartie was a Pro Bowler & first team All Pro for them in 2007.

Drafted Eric Weddle in the 2007 Draft in the 2nd round. Waddle turned into a 6x Pro Bowler & 2x first team All Pro.

Drafted Ryan Matthews in 2010 who made the Pro Bowl in his second season with the Chargers.

But yeah, that front office was shite.

This is CSP biggest year as a head coach

Don't see that but it is a year he can further cement his legacy as a top coach in the NFL.

What can he do with a top O-line.
Does he retool with what he has or does he try to hammer square pegs in round holes.
What can he do with JW.
After 2021 how are the Saints set up for success.

The biggest question is can the coach and QB guru work magic with JW. If he does he is set for the rest of his life in coaching. He will have no shortages in offers or QB's wanting to play for him.
