What? The vast majority of NFL starters were... “drafted” by some team, in some year, and at some selective draft position. The can’t have a “minimal impact on a whole”. Overwhelmingly, they ARE the NFL, the starters for sure. Undrafted players are the exception. I truly don’t get what you are trying to say here.

I was begging for him when he was coming out of Wisconsin. Think we didn’t have a 1st or 2nd and Seattle picked before us in the 3rd. I was clamoring for Watson too...and Lamar Jackson. Nobody ever likes my QB choices here. 😂

Thatd be awesome. But how could the Saints ever pay him?

D'uh! That's a given. Everyone acknowledges that. You completely missed my point. The vast majority of NFL starters were drafted. But, they most likely all make up only around 10% of ALL players drafted over their years in the league ... if that many. The vast majority of drafted players either never make the team (or league) or do not go on to have more than a minimal impact. That's point I was trying to make.

I was begging for him to stay at NC State instead of transferring. I was made aware of his potential way back then. The coach wouldn't guarantee his starting and refused to let him continue playing baseball, as well.

I'd definitely be in your corner if this could happen.

Re: Russell Wilson

I couldn't think of a more ideal QB to replace Drew Brees other than Payton Manning 10 years ago.

Re: Russell Wilson

Great. Now I can't stop imagining Wilson running this offense and all the leadership that comes with him.

Re: Russell Wilson

The Saints make to sort of trade needed to get Wilson and they ain't winning no Superbowl. They have to gut the team (cap hits between 30-40ml for 3 years) to get under the cap and not have any 1sts to fill out needed positions.

Add to that Sportsrac has the Seahawks with 28ml in dead money this year
