I hope we don't trade up.

John Madden used to say "if you have two QBs, you do not have one"... In the NFL that has historically held true. Teams that start a season with a controversy and two QBs dont fair as well as college teams who do the same.

I would roll the dice and roll them hard

Firstly, I honesty feel that Payton knows we do not have two QB's. I believe he knows full well who the starter is and that that person is Winston. Don't forget, Winston was the first overall pick in the draft, as will be Trevor Lawrence. After Lawrence there is a major drop off to QB #2 (which appears to be Wilson) which will supposedly go #2 overall. After that there is a huge drop in potential. I feel Winston is easily better than anyone after Lawrence or Wilson. If the Saints feel the same there is no reason to target a QB given those two are out of reach.

Do I think Winston is the next Drew Brees? No. I don't think the next Drew Brees is even in the draft this year. Hell, it may be ten years, or more, before we see another. And don't forget, we didn't draft our last Drew Brees.

Who is the QB (or QB's) in this draft that you are confident will be better than Jameis Winston?
