Feel free to add your own. I have them in no particular order. You can rank them from worst move to least worst move.
1. Trading two 1st round picks to trade up and get Jonathan Sullivan
2. Junior Galette contract
3. Signed Jairus Byrd
4. Signed C.J. Spiller
5. Let Jake Delhomme walk and stayed with Aaron Brooks
6. Traded two draft picks to move up and draft Antonio Pittman in the 4th round (who never made the team)
7. Traded two draft picks to move up and draft Al Woods in the 4th round (who never made the team)
8. Traded a 4th round pick in the next year's draft to pick Matt Tennant in the 5th round of that year's draft
9. Signed Olin Kruetz, who played like 4 games and retired
I'm sure you can come up with a lot more. I'm just tired this morning.

Didn't we also trade up to get that DT from USC? I forget his name.i could tell you the names of the most obscure Saints players since I was a kid, but I can't remember this dude's name right now. Was it Ellis?

I was walking out of McDonalds as he was walking in and I threw my milk shake at his face. He took a swing but slipped on the mess and fell and knocked his head on a "Wet Floor" sign.
What a dumbass.

Brandon Browner.
Stanley Jean Baptiste.
I mean, we could be here all day.

Also coaching hires or lack there of have been just as responsible for the downfall of the organization as the personnel misses.

so many 1st RD busts.
so many 2nd Rd busts.
so many 3rd round busts.
so many 4th Rd busts.
so many shite players that couldnt even last on the team past 1 or 2 years. Loomis is a fricking bum, and has been since Haslett years

I really hate agreeing with you, dammit.

I could be wrong but I don't think the Olin Kreutz contract was that harmful. I thought it was incentive laden based on him staying on the roster. I think the disappointment was more from the fans getting excited when we signed a perennial pro bowler.

you could have gotten on my Loomis hate train earlier but ill allow it now. we still have to convert a few blind squirrels

Swapping Malcom for Byrd has been great payoff
Trading the luxury item Sproles for Economy friendly Spiller
Drafting Garrett Grayson as part of our win now mentality

His worst move is his failure to draft La'el Collins in the 7th round.

You forgot bountygate, Camps in WVA, the ugly collars, Vicodin, cutting CJ Spiller. Hired Rob Ryan. Hired Rita. Raised ticket prices.
Posted on 9/14/16 at 9:44 am to lsutigers1992
Stanley Jean-Baptiste needs to be on there

It's amazing how people let payton off the hook here.

Oh yeah forgot to add the hiring of CSP. Thanks

The hiring of HC Sean Payton was a great move and one of Loomis' finest.
The hiring of Sean Payton Senior Advisor and Overseer to the GM was just another one of his many misses.
I get the point that Sean has a lot of control over personnel decisions but unless your name is Bill Belichick with his track record of success no other functional franchise operates in that capacity.
When it comes to pro personnel decisions Sean is closer to Nick Saban than Bill. GM gets most of the blame because it is technically his job to bring in the talent. If Mickey is truly just a money guy he should have a different title.
