To be honest, the Saints were multiple offenders. The Raiders got the same treatment for the same violations.

Saints Hater Chris Sims' been sniffing glue ever since he couldn't hold his daddy's jock strap. Maybe it affected his brain too as evidenced from his questionable foosball commentary.

Detractors may argue the same for Burreraux? Nawhhh, it can't be.

I'm expecting Fields, Jones and Mond to be busts or non-factors before long. Lance is a project who if I had to bet, won't pan out. That leaves just Lawrence and Wilson and possibly 1-2 sleepers. I could be way off, but that's what my gut and time watching college ball last year is telling me.

Sounds about right. Anyone counting on a savior in the draft at QB is betting on very tiny odds. We may have to draft 20 (edit: okay, maybe 10) to get one as a viable long term starter. Unless we can manage to only win a game or two for few years in a row.

So what’s your plan Guido... What high probability scenario would you recommend?

I see what you're saying here on these guys …

For me, I simply believe Mac Jones will struggle at the NFL level. Decent arm, could make all the right throws but this was at Bama. A machine with clean pockets to throw out of. No one will be open in the NFL.

Mac better hope he is selected by a team with a decent to good O line. Otherwise, we could see Burrow (Cincy has the worst O line in football) part II and a torn ACL

. I think Kurt Cousins will be his ceiling at the NFL level in the right system.

No clue on Trevor or Fields but I think Mond is a career back up.

Personally, I hope we go CB, LB or O line at #28. Safer picks IMO.

Having Brees decide to return would be ideal. Beyond that, the scenarios, in my opinion, are not very rosy. We can retain Taysom Hill as a starter and start taking chances on an annual basis drafting QB's in hope that one of them eventually pans out to be a decent option.

Most fans around here are really high on Jones because he’s an SEC player and they don’t take the time to look at other prospects who are obviously much better. I think Jones had bust written all over him and I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 ft pole. I would honestly rather draft a developmental guy Payton believes in and roll with Winston.
