this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Maybe Payton did the team a favor. Maybe he did the kid a favor. Regardless the last thing I'll be worried about is how well he plays at Cincinnati....

I think our front office is exactly as good as I think they are.

Re: Is our front office as good as we think?
I think our front office is spectacular at most things. Drafting we're hit or miss. Mainly hit on offense, and mainly miss on defense. We don't acquire draft picks to provide quality depth so we can keep good drafted players instead of keeping on to players way too long who "may" pan out after 3 years of devlopment only to cut them later. We're awful at drafting defensive talent or devloping defensive talent. Other than that we're good. Loomis is a magician with the cap space.

Re: Is our front office as good as we think?
Look we still have a 3 year window with Brees so the FO is going to take some chances on vet FA vs developing rookies. I would imagine in the next 2 years they will be more incline to build thru the draft and go thru a couple lean less successful years. Just hope all of you are ready for it.

Loomis is a cap genius. But as a talent evaluator..........not so much.

Re: Is our front office as good as we think?
We've struck out on a few defensive picks over the years
Chip Vaughn and Stanley Arnoux - both from the vaunted wake forest defense Sedrick Ellis - supposed to be the next warren sapp Patrick Robinson - the "Reggie bush" of defensive backfields, big play or idiotic play I'd even put Kenny Vaccaro and Cam Jordan here until they prove otherwise, both have been absolutely horrible so far this season |

Re: Is our front office as good as we think?
We had three needs this past offseason: OL, CB, and LB. Our front office did nothing to solidify those positions.
I don't know how good we think they are, but as of late they have not been very good. |

More hits than misses for sure. Not even close. As Cam would say, hindsight is 50/50.
