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. The 23-year-old Book spent five years at Notre Dame, redshirting in his first season, playing a few games in his second and then starting for his final three years. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E0UahZmW...name=4096x4096 Book was a good but not great quarterback, and it’s hard to imagine him starting as a rookie. But he could be a player who, with some time in Saints coach Sean Payton’s offense, eventually emerges as a starter. The Saints are hoping either Hill or Winston takes the starting job and keeps it for years to come, but if not, Book could be next. |

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 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. |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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

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 HOF. Morten Anderson Joe federsfield Joel hildinburg Lorenzo Neal Danny weorsful. (Inop) pfff Fred weary Jari evans Jerome bushrod Antonio Pittman (iffy) Jauntsy Gardner David oyminota 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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
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. |
