I get your logic and agree, but we fairly recently (2015 iirc) drafted a third round QB, didn’t work out but the FO must have though very highly of him, given the fairly high draft pick, 75 overall, used. I’m not as confident in the Saints player analytics wrt QB’s as I am wrt OLinemen, lol.

The way I’m looking at the QB pos’n right now is unless there is a slam dunk guarantee starter, in this draft, who will be better than Jameis or Taysom..., then don’t address a possible “need” or a possible “cap saver”. This team has some quite obvious, unambiguous needs. Prioritize those.

Lee I know this is only a "mock" but I hope the Saints stay away from guys with medical red flags in college. Especially that high in the draft. No biggie if we are taking a gamble on a 6th or undrafted player. But 1st or 2nd round ? No way.

Ha'oli Kikaha comes to mind.

lee909 · 04-04-2021, 09:08 PM

Yeah i'd be the same in a actual draft.
Just really really bored messing around.

For me that's what comp picks are for, players slipping out of the first and second rounds due to injuries i have no issues throwing a comp pick at them, even if you have to red shirt IR them for a year. But i agree the first two rounds should be as sure a bet as you can

ChrisXVI · 04-04-2021, 09:23 PM

Zaven Collins will be the pick in the first whether I agree with it or not. A CB like UCF’s Aaron Robinson or Stanford’s Paulson Adebo will be the pick in the second.

Nah it'll be

R1 Terrace Marshall
R2 Jabril Cox
R3 JaCoby Stevens

Coaches are going to stop the moaning at no LSU Players

Reality is

R1 Wyatt Davis
R2 Pete Werner
R3 Shaun Wade
R3 Baron Browning
R4 Tommy Togiai
R6 Trey Sermon

Tom Brady was the 199th pick, Round 6. Joe Montana a third round pick. Drew Brees was the 32nd pick, and Brett Favre 33rd pick, both in the second round...

Kurt Warner was an Undrafted Free Agent...

So your QB can come from any location, though I admit, most come in the first round...

jeanpierre · 04-05-2021, 11:49 AM

Samuel may be a reach, but he'll justify the pick...

Don't get the grade on Jabril Cox, he'll be fire opposite DeMario...

Know the popular pick would be a WRz, but I want those two TE packages to move methodically downfield, eating clock...

Spencer Brown is my still, and allows the team to move on from Mr. Glass...

Robinson can move in behind Cam Jordan, learn, develop...

Bates makes the TE group young and elite...

With so much veteran money tied into RB, Jermar Jefferson gives a less expensive, more explosive RB to spell Kamara...

Tommy Doyle is listed as a tackle, but he can be a Carl Nicks type LG...
