Ian Rapoport: Saints Not Planning to Rebuild

I think it's more important to move on from Ireland than Loomis. Ireland is really the one most involved in player evaluation and really runs the draft. The drafts have been okay, but not near good enough. They have been mediocre which has led to mediocre results. I really think we need an upgrade in scouting and talent evaluation more than we need a new GM. I'd be fine with doing both, but I think Ireland too often gets a pass in all of this. 2017 was a long time ago and it's the only really good draft that he has had and some of them were down right terrible.
I just don't know if Loomis, if kept in his current position, will make that change given his reluctance to pull the trigger on Allen. I would prefer them move on from Loomis if no improvements are made this season. I really wouldn't cry if they lost Ireland but it seemed like he was the only one somewhat hitting on anything mostly. So maybe its more of him being the the sharpest piece o bread in da shed. /wink
