Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

The Saints have their third quarterback.

New Orleans, which is planning a competition between Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston to replace Drew Brees, has now added Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft, with the 133rd overall pick.

Yeah... that’s something we’d do.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

Isn't it something that most #1 QB draft picks are busts.... the greatest are found in the later rounds?

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

If Book had Trevor Lawrence's height, he might have been picked somewhere in the first round. Some people never learn.

I’m so pumped on the book pick, I’m elated that Sean Payton and I yes ST finally see [emoji872] to[emoji872]. Nuegy gets some prop to on this .

I love this pick!!!

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

It is kind of an exciting pick. We will certainly have to endure Winston for a year, but I like the pick

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

So glad we got a QB in this draft!!

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

He's already a better QB than Taysom proved to be.

I sincerely hope he is given a chance to fight for the starting job.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

We'll see. Taysom did beat Steve Young's passing records at BYU.

He's got some weird mark on his face. Is that a sign?

Payton sees what I see in Ian Book, out of college, not great but a focused kid on the field a guy that played in big games, won big games . Can keep a drive going when absolutely has to. Ummm who does he remind y’all of.

Taysom is gone after this year …. Not sure but probably not a big Cap hit … Booked it Book will be #2 QB 2022.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

Even if Book is the #2, I still think having Hill around to do all the other stuff he does well would be worth a contract. That's assuming Hill isn't the starter this year of course. You never know!

Karl Sweetan? Larry Cipa? Ronnie Lee South? oh wait I remember! Steve Ramsey!!!

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

Brees, Wilson, Theismann, Flutie. Taylor, maybe height isn't the best litmus test or conclusively relevant.

The wisdom is that a QB needs to be able to see over the heads of his lineman but a lineman drops 4"-6" on a pass play and no one is tall enough to look over a defenders hands when they are in the air. Favre and Rodgers are both 6'2" with an ocean of variance in their interception %.

Lol, that’s kool. Some might think he’s a wasted pick but go back to the start of saints history. 4th rd picks are pretty much a reach at any position.
He’s a handful of hits out of 60 picks in that rd that stuck

Don’t give me no shyyt on this because it took me some time.
Sometimes it works a hell of a lot of times it don’t. I’m gonna add Ian to the list that hits.

Good point! There are some real gems there! Here's to Book being among them.

Although Danny Wuerffel and Pittman are a bit of a stretch. Lol.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

If you’d see the list of the rest , it would be really who, what why? Most has no stats

It would look pretty much the same for every team in the league.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

I 100% agree.

Can’t say a 4th rd pick for a QB is wasted pick. Someone sees quality coachable smarts and throw in some athletic ability I sure.

Was it garret Grayson that threw a pick 6 his first pass in a preseason game?

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

I could see him as the face of the franchise in a few years if he develops like Payton thinks he will. He might even have a chip on his shoulder. It's obvious that he's a competitor. I like his interviews and he comes across as intelligent and not cocky just good.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

Somewhat "Bressian", perhaps?

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

This thread should read, Saint Thomas and Sean Payton select Ian Book Norte Dame.[emoji1782][emoji12]
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.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

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.

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

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

Re: Saints Pick Notre Dame QB Ian Book in the fourth round
 

It's probably fait accomplit!
