Turner, Ruiz, Foskey and you could probably add Penning in there as well. Those are your top round picks the last several years. And they all suck.
Throw in all the picks you traded away and the guys like Miller,Book, Saldaveri.
Just complete front office failure

Not just front office. The coaches share the blame. Sean Payton was part of some of those picks.

I will say the jury is still out on Penning. Let's see how he handles being a guard before we declare him a bust.

Miller just went out and won the backup RB slot, so he's not a bust yet either.

But the other guys...yeah.

I left Davenport out just because that was 2018 draft

Loomis is old and on cruise control. He wants to do things his way. The same reason Sean left.

Good try but no. Payton bears partial responsibility for our ills. He's not innocent of the crime of our suckitude. It's mostly the Dennis Allen/Loomis duo, but the Payton/Loomis duo wasn't doing great either.

Not to mention letting all pro players go like Hendrickson and Baun

Davenport at least showed flashes of being really good when he could stay healthy.


Foskey and Turner have been on this team 4 years and I couldn’t tell you if either of them played a single meaningful snap.

Didn’t Davenport have like 8 sacks one year? He has talent, he’s starting quality. He started on the Lions.

He will just never stay healthy.

Turner and Fosky were major reaches and just sucked. Piss poor scouting by whoever made the decision to draft them. Someone needs to get fired.

I'm pretty sure people were fired and now you're seeing some of the dead weight being let go instead of holding out blind hope.

This is what people were asking for and now they're starting to see it --- Foskey, Haener, etc.

Never said it was. Payton isn’t the greatest coach ever but he’s the best thing that ever happened to this shite organization. He’s proven he can get the best out of any quarterback he touches. No one would know Brees’ name if it weren’t for Sean

I can make the case that nobody would know Sean's name if it weren't for Brees.

They weren’t. But I think CSP was pretty burnt out here. The quick turnaround in Denver and emergence of Nix shows when he’s recharged a bit he’s still one of the best.
