Someone pull up the list of quarterbacks drafted during Payton's tenure.

Didn’t Green Bay turn the pick we traded them into a bust at safety? Sounds like both teams dropped the ball there

But yeah, 2018 draft hurts. Imagine Lamar with this team. We’d be super bowl contenders year in and year out.

They drafted jaire Alexander no?

Lamar isnt elite or accurate, but he has the ability to convert 3rd downs teams shouldn't.

An elite defense with a run game that he can spark can be nasty. You're seeing it with ravens tonight.

Nah IIRC, GB traded the pick we gave them to the Giants who took a bust at corner and the Packers took a bust a safety.

I agree, Jackson throws some ugly passes he’s definitely not elite.

When you have the chance to take an injury-prone DE with ok production, at a non power 5...you HAVE to do it.

...and then double down and draft the same guy a few years later.

Sean Payton had a very, very strong Bro-mance with Drew Brees, and, it was justified. But, towards the final years, Payton allowed his personal friendship with Brees cloud his judgment in drafting and doing what was best for the franchise.

On top of that, Payton was never the greatest talent evaluator. He is known as a QB/Offense Guru, but, the final years proved that perhaps he is not.

In the inner circles Lamar Jackson is known as "3rd Down Conversion" Jackson.

One of the all-time “HUH” Saints draft moments.

It's somewhere in between. He squeezed every ounce of production out of players who had no business being as productive as they were, while also relying on 2 great draft classes (2006, 2017) to erase memories of how many picks he simply missed on and didn't develop.

Yes, it is important to keep in mind his successes as well as his failures. There's a fair balance between the two. But, it is safe to say that he is NOT some kind of Guru or Savant. He was very good at times, and bad at other times.
