Franchise QB

I hate to be the one to start this thread, but after the season we are watching it’s become evident this is where we are headed. My question to those who may know more than I is if anyone believes We could grab Stroud with our 2nd round pick. I was looking through the teams who may draft a QB next season and it looks like about 6-7, but no assumption that they would do so with there first picks. Any thoughts on this or what other eligible qb would you like to see the saints draft or go after in free agency.

Re: Franchise QB

Stroud is not a possibility. You hope for Hooker being there. It’s more likely we’ll be tanking with Winston since he’s under contract. It’s going to be a rough couple of years.

Re: Franchise QB

Maybe you have to roll with Winston a couple of years but you still have to draft someone if they are a good fit and start getting them ready.

Re: Franchise QB

No one will disagree with that. It’s something that should have been done years ago.

Re: Franchise QB

Hard to believe we were one pick from having Mahomes. Still leaves a sick feeling.

Re: Franchise QB

Those aren’t easy to come by. The Saints have never drafted a franchise QB…outside of Archie Manning that is, but I’m not big on Archie.

Re: Franchise QB

No way the Saints should draft a QB with their 2nd round pick. The FO blew their chance at drafting a QB in 2023 when they traded away their first rounder. When you look at every average or better QB currently in the NFL, only one had been drafted outside the first round in the last 5 years and that’s Jalen Hurts. The NFL game has evolved in the last 5 years by taking a lot of aspects from the college game and as a result you don’t see QBs fly under the radar or fall to later rounds like you did in the past. Drafting a QB outside the first round these days is essentially throwing away a draft pick. We’ll be bad again in 2023 and hopefully the FO doesn’t trade that pick away and that’s when we should look to draft one.

Re: Franchise QB

We shouldn’t draft a quarterback in the second just to draft one. If the right guy is there that we really like, we shouldn’t pass up the opportunity. After the top 4 in this upcoming draft class, we’re better off waiting for the ‘24 class.

Re: Franchise QB

I think they’ll bring in Jimmy G. Seems like the Saints thing to do.

Re: Franchise QB

Saints are probably going to be bad in 2023.

I’d probably look for a QB in the 2024 draft.

Really like the idea of Minshew or Huntley next season.
