But I too want Hooker from this draft class

Roll with who's on the roster , mebbe even bring in Mayfield on the cheap, and go get Hooker AND another in late round pick like the Fresno QB. Let's see who wins out.

Is Baker an upgrade over Dalton though? But I totally get it from the frugality perspective.

The Saints need to get this cap in order & roll with the younger guys.

2023 is going to be a serious challenge with or without DCarr under center.

He just might be. He shouldn't costs as much, however.

Baker is more talented than Dalton but his pocket presence is some of the worse I’ve seen. When you’re that short you need to either be a tremendous athlete (early Russell Wilson) or a genius (Drew Brees). If we can’t get Carr and we’re just looking for a guy to hold us over until our rookie is ready then I would just go get Jacoby Brisset or stick with Winston.

Agree, except with the Winston part.

If DCarr signs with us great, if he doesn't great.

Go listen to Matt's (post #255) recent take on After Further Review ... get(draft) a QB on a rookie deal & reset.

Don't overpay for mediocrity.

It’s crazy watching how even the media has jumped on the bandwagon for Hooker. I feel like I started this. 😏😂
