If this is true better hope someone else is picking the players and he hires a good DC. Not the first time this team has tried to make a big splash, hopefully this time it actually works out,
Paxton Lynch is likely going to Cleveland first overall. Goff, hard to tell. Every time you see him make a play, he's got a totally clean pocket. That is hard to project. Connor Cook. Does Payton see a future Brees type? Cook has some intangibles about him.
The top of the draft has the two db's, the two OT's, the two qb's, Jaylon, Bosa. You want to be in that top 8.
Drew Brees was not the perennial Pro Bowl player before Payton that he is now. He actually was fairly bad in San Diego, so much so that they drafted Phillip Rivers early in the first round. Brees started in 2005 over the rookie and had a break out year then signed in NO as a free agent in 2006, with Payton taking over the team the same year. Brees was good and ascending in SD, but he and Payton have definitely contributed to each other's success and enjoyed a very symbiotic and synergistic relationship in NO.
yeah indys the one I'd worry about taking your cookies

I have no doubt though Miami has a bug in paytons ear already...but indy probably does too...and I'm sure there will be more if they smell blood in the water
Keep our picks and add more talent. A good coach can only do so much with average players. Keep picks and draft better.

For a 3rd rounder, with the culture that this team has implemented, it's a no brainer. Great coaches make great teams. That's why you don't see scrub coaches doing anything. A good coach can make such a huge difference, compared to a pick that may have a 30% chance of succeeding.
