Somewhat "Bressian", perhaps?

This thread should read, Saint Thomas and Sean Payton select Ian Book Norte Dame.

I still can’t believe it. The closest I ever came in any draft was chuck muncie, and he was a no brainer. Cooper Kupp was a close call but saints took Alvin K.

Good luck to Ian. I won't compare him to Brees, Wilson or any other great QB … it isn't fair to Ian.

He'll get his chance to show his worth in a preseason game or two. If CSP places him on IR, chances are he likes what he sees.

Camp awaits.

No chance of keeping him as the number 3 instead of Siemian?

Way too early to tell anything at the moment. Let's see what Ian shows in pre season. Coach may not even play him if he sees "enough" at training camp.

Ian, Kawaan Baker, Neal Jr, Bryce Thompson etc. One of these guys may surprise.

I think there's a decent chance.

Ian Book is in the perfect spot for QB development working with Payton. I like what I've seen from his film and interviews. He's smart and could digest this playbook with a little time in the system. Don't be surprised if he goes on IR with a hangnail where he gets to work with the staff to develop for another year.

I hope Ian makes the roster. I think he will learn a lot more (and possibly see some field action) than if placed on IR or moved to the practice squad.

Is Siemian still technically eligible for the practice squad, presuming he clears waivers?
