Payton has an eye for talent

If he has such a great eye for talent, then why didn't he know that he sucked as an NFL QB...

or maybe he did know.

I just wanted to add this from the article...

Some think we gave up too much for Morstead and have even gone as far as saying that the punter is the least important position on the team.

I think that if there would have been someone there that Payton really wanted, then he wouldn't have given those picks for Morstead. I also believe that he really wanted this guy and since he didn't really want anyone else that was left on the board, he went ahead and made the play to get a really good, dependable punter who can also kick-off. Just another great move by Payon and Loomis, IMO.
