Don't forget to see how he did the 9 years scouting the West Coast:
2012-2020

2020: No West coast draft picks
2019: No West coast draft picks
2018: No West coast draft picks
2017: Marcus Williams (Is Utah close enough to be covered by a West Coast Scout) 2nd Rd from Utah
2016: Daniel Lasco - 7th Rd from Cal
2015: Peat - 1st Rd Stanford
2015: Kikaha - 2nd round Wash
2015: Tyler Davidson - 5th Rd Fresno St
2014: Cooks - 1st Rd Oregon St
2014: Fortt - 4th Rd Cal
2013: No West coast draft picks
2012: No West coast draft picks

I guess that promotion was for his scouting work he did on players we passed on

He’s a scout, he’s not making the decision on which player to draft.

It is sad in a way that Payton has been in the league for over two decades combined between being an assistant and HC and all his contacts can do is put the old band back together.

No vision of watching other talent and wanting to bring in what they are doing to the mix.

The Saints love wasting 4 and 5th rounders.

Ian book. Saldiveri. Jake haener. Demarco Jackson.

You can't keep wasting 4th rounders on tiny qbs, that on their best day might be a backup.

They can most certainly do better, but they will have to open the check book.
