Mike Thomas, Kamara, Jackson ... that's a lot of firepower on offense. If Lamar is there at 27 ... what do you do?
Payton’s been pretty forthcoming with the media since his daughter’s been trying to break into the business. I guess you have to take Jackson right? If we did though I would try like heck to get into the 2nd round for an instant impact player since Jackson would be sitting.

I'd like to see a mobile QB in Payton's system. In my mind, most of the QB's in the draft are "projects" to a certain extent. Most of these guys need a year or two to emerge. Payton is still one of the best innovators of offense in the game. If he sees Jackson can learn the system, work on accuracy, mental aspects (being able to audible, read defenses etc), I'm all for it.

Sean polished up Tony Romo pretty well :p.

I've been hoping for defensive player, particularly the Dline, that could start day 1, but if Jackson's still there at 27, he'd be a great pick up and it would be fun to see what Payton could do with him.

A Jackson + Kamara + Thomas core would be fun to watch. The RPO’s Payton would likely add into the fold would be deadly.

Does Lamar Jackson have a NOODLE ARM? And would he actually play this year with Brees still slinging it good?

Jackson has a strong arm (we won't confuse his arm strength with Vick or Favre but solid) to go vertical. See below. WR catches the ball in stride.

It would be interesting to see how he would fare against tighter coverage which he will see in the NFL. Brees puts it where no one else can catch it.

Yep. This is a trait that makes #9 great at the elite level. From what I'm reading, Jackson is a very coachable kid who wants to get better in terms of accuracy. FWIW, I heard Mike Detellier say that if Lamar is on the board @ 27, there is a good possibility the Saints will take him.

Can't wait for the draft.

He doesn’t have that kind of pin point accuracy. That **** Brees does is special. But...all that moving around in the pocket is going to have defenders at a stand still and that will get people wide open.
