Interesting points, two comments for the discussion...

On Bowman being passed twice is a great example of why I don't give Loomis slaps on the back for finding Colston in the SEVENTH ROUND as everyone in the league had multiple chances - and you're dead on that credit should geaux to the coaching, specifically Sean Payton and Curtis Johnson...

Second, it's not that it's a mark JUST against the Saints, but a mark against MOST NFL staffers who are employed because "of who they know, not what they know"...

Watched MoneyBall again and you can see classic examples of drones and yes men who either direct or support personnel departments in professional sports with only a handful of guys that have a clue...
