Loomis is a yes man and a moron...

Irregardless and despite several of the personnel gaffes of DIS/Loomis, and blown opportunties, I wlll emphatically agree on this point -

...this squad is in a great position to make a strong run late into the playoffs this year because of the 2017 draft haul...

We finally got it right. Loomis is a bean counter with no football background. As you said he is a yes man to Payton and his gambling tendencies.

Bringing in Jeff Ireland changed everything. He is the real football GM now(title not with standing), and most importantly our new scouting department and fresh coaching has set the platform for a stable franchise.

Rankins
Michael Thomas
V Bell
David Onyemata

All good to above average starters.

Footnote - 2015 Draft contributors still on the team.

Peat
Kikaha
Davison

The front office is hitting on draft selections more than missing.

Rankins has me :rolleyes:

Michael Thomas has me :p

Vonn Bell and his two draft picks costs has me :brood:

Onyemata, also two draft picks costs has me :?

But you're right that it started turning around in the 2016 draft...

If he can't help himself, just lock Payton outta the WarRoom for the Draft...

I will say that VB needs to really take his game to another level in 2018. Lots of room for improvement ... especially considering where he was drafted.
