N/S SJB is back on the market (1 Viewer)

I keep saying it - that pick led to the total revamp of the Saints scouting department and the hiring of Jeff Ireland. So some good came out of it.

True dat.

I do think that the awful selection of SJB was the 'straw that broke the camels back' in terms of our dismal recent scouting record. Thus far it sure seems that Jeff Ireland had greatly improved our draft group, but unfortunately we will need maybe another year or two to get the quality top to bottom that the NFL elite have year to year.

couldn't care less. Wasted pick,

Man that was a bad draft pick....I wonder who was responsible for it ? It just kills me of all the talent that was available when he was drafted. I wonder who scouted him and really pushed him up the ranks to CSP and Loomis ? I can bet you they aren't here anymore. Thank god for our new scouting staff is all I gotta say. Man that was a head scratcher of a pick.

There was something said in an interview I think, that the player Payton wanted with that pick was already taken so he told Rob Ryan the pick was his to take whoever he wanted.

If SJB isn't the worst 2nd round pick in the history of the franchise, he's certainly in the conversation.

Ray Zellers and Mario Bates: Thunder and Lightning, or more like Fart and Wet Fart.

I think that was the interview where Payton wanted Jeremy Hill.

 

[LetsGetWaffles]

Probably the worst one of the Payton/Loomis era...

I agree. The worst part about that pick tho is that 99% of the people here knew that was a ridiculous reach for our 2nd round pick especially when you look at all of the other talented players at positions of need were available when we picked him.

It was such a frustrating topic to discuss here too bc the few people who didn't think he was a bad pick are the same people that claim the FO always makes a good decisions and we simple non-NFL employed people couldn't have any idea if he would be good or bad.

I wanted Gabe Jackson... and I still do.

There is some amazing reading in this thread. http://saintsreport.com/forums/f2/stanley-jean-baptiste-cb-324204/
People were so excited to see we got a big CB like Sherman that we forgot to check and see if he could actually play CB.
