I truly believe that this statement hits home and we are in a small rebuild rather than a major over haul. We are not currently one player away from a championship. With this draft we filled necessary team needs and wants, along with picking up some good depth pieces in this draft, which is critical because the NFC South could be more competitive than anticipated.

I will always believe that Payton is a great coach who methodically led us to our first Super bowl and created a mini dynasty! He needs a strong GM in Denver to curtail his aggressive gambling tendencies though. Like most leaders he has faults and needs good advisers.

The true hero here is Jeff Ireland! He finds something under every rock he looks under and is able to identify impact personnel that fits our system. He knows how to envision players in roles and that is what the Saints packages are built on.
