Bears request permission to interview Saints Assistant GM Jeff Ireland

I mean, you say this, but the Saints still stick pretty strictly to guys with high SPARQ scores in the draft. I think all of the guys they have taken the last several years rate really high on those scores. So, it's not like they do the Ditka lunch pail guy thing. They draft the best athletes who are also good football players. I think they use a certain SPARQ score of a certain number is specific areas for a player as a requirement and then they see how good the guys who meet that threshold are at football, if they have a good football IQ, and how committed they are to getting better.
They love sparq and senior bowl guys.
