When you are waving recent 4th and 6th round picks, you’ve had a bad draft and poor GM

Book was a fourth round pick and Jackson was a sixth. Someone needs to be held responsible in management if the Saints wants to return to the Super Bowl and not mediocrity.

Book you can argue was a bad pick, but firing people over a 6th round pick that will probably be brought back is stupid

Ill never blame the team for taking a late round shots on a qb. Totally worth the gamble.

It’s actually the EXACT opposite. If your roster is so poor that late round picks are making the 53 on the reg, you’ve not built a good roster. There were very few roster spots available BECAUSE Loomis, Ireland, and the personnel department have done such a great job over last several years. You show me a franchise whose late round picks make the team every year, and I’ll show you a bad franchise.

Wait what? We complaining about a 4th round project and a 6th round pick? Raiders have cut their last how many 1st rounders? Geez. Calm down Nancy.

See no we can't compare ourselves to any other team. That immediately breaks these flawed arguments.

this team has the 4th-best record in the Nfl across 20 years under Mickey Loomis. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

You do know that not all 6th round picks are Tom Brady, right?

The same GM that got 7th round Colston ? 3rd round Kamara ? Undrafted Pierre Thomas, Harty, Lance Moore, etc?

The draft is hit a miss for everyone.

Look at Josh Mac Daniel, on his second team and he drafted Tebow in first round.

Hell even Bellicheck passed on Tom Brady 5 times.

No one's perfect when it comes to the draft.

That same management group that you want punished has delivered one of the most talented rosters in football/one of the most winning franchises over the last 2 decades(top 5 in wins, I think).

We were like a half game away from the playoffs while having to start the most players in league history due to injury…..and without a quarterback. That’s a sign that you’re doing things right.

If you’re consistently missing on 1-3 round draft picks, that’s a problem. The rest is a crap shoot.

Literally 0 teams hit on every late round pick. That includes teams like the Ravens who are considered the best of the best at drafting. The Saints have unquestionably been a top 5 drafting team over the last 5-6 years.

This thread has made me realize our drafts and GM are kind of better than I thought.
