Obviously Loomis/Payton had a reason to jump and secure him. I'm going to have to side with the two men responsible for bringing us a Super Bowl and do this for a living.
2. Your "tired of being told that Loomis and Payton are geniuses". That goes against wanting quantity over quality.
Wanting quantity over quality tells me you believe he is a genius and can make a silk purse out of 2 sows ears.
Or you just felt it should go one way and it didn't so your down on the pick?

You never cease to make amaze me at your lack of comprehension to everything I have to say. I didn't say "I felt we could have gotten cooks at 27". I said I felt we could have gotten a better player OR even gotten Cooks at 27. That means if we were going to trade up, I think there were better players available, but if they wanted cooks they could have waited. It's obvious however, that the Saints weren't willing to take that risk. I don't value Cooks the way they do, make sense? You trust the guys who brought us a Super Bowl, yet these are the same one's who drafted Meachem in the first round. How did that work out? I'm not saying Cooks will be a bust, but I am saying that just because we've won a superbowl doesn't mean our front office doesn't make mistakes, and because of that I don't feel the need to just automatically trust whatever they do because you think I should.
And in another thing you failed to read and comprehend properly: I didn't say anything about "quantity OVER quality". I said I would have liked a little more quantity. Period. I'm all for trading up for a need. Cooks is a nice player but doesn't fill that much of a need. We don't have many glaring needs. So given that luxury I would have personally rathered to sit back at 27 and either keep that 3rd rounder or maybe trade into the second with it. Why? Because when you get out of the second round the talent starts to fade, obviously. It would just depend on who's still available.
That doesn't mean that they'll hit a home run with both, or either of those picks. It simply provides more opportunities to find someone who WILL be good. I don't think that's a hard concept to understand. I just think you hate it when I disagree with the Saints. It's just my opinion, pal. It's not like either of us can change anything.
