And I'm with on 1st rounders ... they need to be Day 1 starters. Day 1.

With CSP now "retired", I'll be extremely curious to see what position we target on Day 1 of the 2022 draft.

K, you mean based on his rookie year, deciding to move McCoy to guard and taking Ruiz?

McCoy has the goods for a terrific, active, get out in front and ploy the field Right Guard...

But felt he performed fine as a rookie Center, and had a ProBowl ceiling within him...

Really feel the Ruiz Experiment, moving McCoy to RG was another of Sean's Double-Double Reverse calls; Sean's Personnel Skills have been less than average...

The GM position really needs to be strengthened with Veto power of the HC given back to the GM; the Mickey Loomis Yes Man schtick has needed to go...

Everybody has faults. Payton's biggest fault and gift is that he's a big gambler with a vision. We all know that gambling doesn't work out every time even for a master mind like Sean Payton.

Know it's among Saints' fans many favorite moments, but if you revisit Ambush, it was nearly a disaster; Payton recently disclosed he screwed up choosing the wrong side of the field...

But he took the calculated risks and he unquestionably turned the franchise around by winning immediately thereby getting players to bye-in; he deserves loads of credit for it...

The mistake was a lack of checks and balances allowing one person to make so many decisions without accountability - we lacked a GM to check Payton from himself...

Even 49ers great Bill Walsh who won three Superbowls, had to go to Carmen Policy and sell what he wanted done - and that included moving on from Joe Montana...
