Re: Scouts take: What Payton Wants

I think we may be headed in the right direction since we hired Jeff Ireland

Last draft - Damian Swann in round 5 - when healthy a very promising player
PJ Williams - many said should have been a first rounder
Kikaha - "Analysts" said he only succeeded because of his teammate, he proved that wasn't true.
Stephone Anthony - Looks like he could develop into the leader on D eventually.

If we continue drafting like we did last year, we will be successful, don't waste second round picks on someone like Stanley Jean Baptiste when you can get someone like Hau' Oli Kikaha instead.

In a few years when we look back at this draft, be prepared to add Davis Tull among the names you'll remember from this draft...

And don't discount how important Tyeler Davison was this season as his role will definitely grow with what will be a much improved defense next season...

Considering Swann's susceptibility for concussion, don't be surprised he's not a Saint for long; it'll be the smart move for both the young man and organization...

Everyone seems fixated on just the draft, but this may also be the shot across the bow for changes that are desperately needed on the coaching staff (i.e. Joe Vitt, Bill Johnson, Bret Ingalls)...

And Payton realizes this, needs to be able to 'free' himself of getting his hands dirty, but wants to be sure he and Ireland are on the same page at the end of the day...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
