Curtis Lofton is Excited to Work with Sean Payton and Rob Ryan

Odd that I don't here the same complaints about Lofton as I do Harper/Jenkins.

Lofton graded near dead last in the entire NFL for MLB's last year.

I was just pointing out that some people use last years grades to blast some players, while ignoring similar dreadful grades on other players.

Personally I think Lofton is upper half in terms of talent, maybe top 10 as far as MLBs go.

In 2011 GW was still around and the D wasn't all that bad, but Harper was 73rd in the league and ranked lower than most LBs when in coverage;Jenkins wasn't much better.
