I remember Ellis having having a hell of a week down there at the Senior bowl and that's where the Saints really locked in on him.
they have a senior bowl locker room show once a week on the radio here. and they were talking about how agents are really impacting their participation either in practices or in the game like for exmple one player who they refuse not to name was wanting 30 tickets for his friends and family and was really looking forward to playing in the game and his agent pulled him the Friday before the game.
things have certainly changed

Big Sed shouldn’t be on there.

Agreed. Davenport was productive when he played. You can see why they wanted him. He just couldn’t stay healthy.
Some of those lower on the list barely ever played or made little to no impact.
You can put Davenport on the list based on what they gave up to get him, but #2 seems high

He's had as many good drafts as atrocious ones. That's how the NFL draft works, pobody's nerfect.
The saints had two historically elite drafts under his tenure; 2006 & 2017.
This really masked how bad some of the drafts were, and made it ok when only 1-2 of the guys worked out. You get a Jimmy Graham or Carl nicks here or there and who cares what else happens, because the 06’ & 17’ classes set such a great baseline (not to mention you had Drew Brees).

There are plenty of other reasons to criticize him, for sure, but the Saints consistently draft better than most. Review any other teams draft history over the last 25 years, I promise you will find more 1st round busts and bad picks. Drafting ain't easy.

Sed Ellis doesn’t belong on this list.
Agreed. Not because of how awesome he is, but because of how shitty many of Mickey's other picks were

Starter on a Super Bowl team. Definitely should not be on the list even if he fell off pretty quickly thereafter. By his own admission, he lost his passion for the game pretty quickly but again he helped us win a ring.

Certainly not a boomer & don’t hate AI. I don’t think the Saints are a bad drafting team. Just inconsistent. And the inconsistency matters a whole lot more when you don’t have Drew Brees & Sean Payton to mask it.

Loomis should have been fired over a decade ago, if not longer
Sean should have been total control and ownership
Instead grifter Loomis got unearned accolades and ran the franchise into the bottom cellar dwellers
