Are Loomis /Payton as good as their draft reputation?

Obviously none of us know what its like in the draft rooms but there are some serious questions with our recent drafting skills

Patrick Robinson - 1st round when he wasn't even the best CB on his team
Usama young - 2nd round WTF!!
Taylor melhaff - off the team after half a season
Sed Ellis - What a joke
Chip Vaughan and Stanley Arnoux - beasts in college and never even made it on the field here
Al Woods - Cut in preseason for lack of work ethic

Something needs to change with our draft strategy, cuz it aint working

Woooo. Before you indite payton/loomis regime and walk out the firing sqaud, shouldn't you put all the evidence on display. I'm not trying to absolve payton/loomis because I do feel like the earlier parts of their drafts should produce a greater percentage of NFL talent, and it hasn't all the time. But as off, and wrong as Payton/Loomis have been on some of the early round talent, is as spot on, and as domiant as they have been on some of the mid to late round talent, as well as kicking ass in free agency. Shouldn't they get credit for that...... And since we are talking reps.....

Under Payton/Loomis
- Best small school late round selection ever.....
- One of the best TE's the saints have ever had
- Selected the best guard in the league currently

Usama is playing better than any safety or CB we had on the field in 2012
Usama Young, DB for the Cleveland Browns at NFL.com

thats bad. he is a solid nicle and dime CB. pick was a bit high

Yeah your exactly right!! All the rookies we draft hicks, Tez, and even Gallett although he's not a rookie anymore have all proven they could play and play very well. But we still go with will smith, Sed Ellis Vilma and Shanle??? Are u kidding me??? Cam Jordan is the only defensive player I've been impressed with in the past few defensive picks. But Tez, Gallett and hicks I believe are ready to play. Let us draft Mingo or D Jordan. And we're set. On the front 7 IMO given will smith Ellis Vilma and Shanle don't see the field.
