Something that the organization should have looked at more closely while Brees was still under center.

We were going to. Remember getting leap frogged by KC to get Mahomes? We were literally planning to draft Mahomes.

Sean would still be here. No doubt in my mind. Had we gotten Mahomes. We would also have another SB win under our belt by now. 1 pick ahead of us. 1 pick.

While appearing on Fox NFL Kickoff, former Saints coach Sean Payton told the story of when the Saints almost picked Mahomes with the No. 11 pick in the draft before the Chiefs traded up to take him at the No. 10 pick.

“The best quarterback I’d ever seen on college tape,” Payton said of Mahomes.

The former New Orleans coach also said Drew Brees was in the New Orleans draft room for the first time ever in 2017. Payton said selecting Mahomes wasn’t going to impact Brees, but he thought it was important that he told him they might take Mahomes.
