Sorry Thirty, but I don’t see how we are good at skill players. We had a game last year where we fielded Kirkwood, Trequan, and Callaway as our starting three WRs. Thomas still has to prove he can play and stay healthy. Olave has missed games with Concussion issues. Shaheed is still raw. Kamara is older and facing a suspension.

Could things work out? Sure they COULD. Thomas might’ve found the fountain of youth. Olave might avoid more head issues. Shaheed might continue to develop and Kamara might stay out of jail. But counting on it is risky. Upper teams like Philly and KC have more firepower in their lineup than we do. I hope we have enough but I have my doubts.

Geez, chill out, Boston. There's all of the UDFA and a ton of free agent vets out there. And what we have now is nowhere as dismal as you are imagining.

Just because I make an observation doesn’t mean I’m not “chill” Guido. It’s called an opinion. Was I incorrect when I pointed out we started Kirkwood, Smith, and Callaway in a game last year? I think a better choice could be made than a QB that may start for us in three years.

That, of course, is your opinion. My opinion is that the Saints have far greater insight into what they have, what they need, and where they can get what they need than any of us, absolutely including myself.

Yes. Like Ian Book. As anyone that knows NFL football knows, QB's are always a crap shoot, but it's something you have to take your best shot at anyway.

Why did they “have” to take it with Book? Why do they have to take it in this draft? They have 3 guys who can play QB on the roster. That’s for 1 position. They didn’t have to take it. We aren’t that deep in skill positions when we started Smith, Kirkwood and Callaway in a game last year. But go ahead and believe 100% of the moves the Saints make without question and tell others that have doubts to chill out if that makes you feel better. I Don’t see why it bothers you so much when I express my thoughts.

So let’s look at this “crap shoot” that is finding a starting NFL QB for your team. I just did a quick accounting, and by what I see vast Majority of starting quarterbacks in the league were selected in the first round. Practically all of the young “star” QBs are first rounders, except for a couple that were in the second round. Wilson was a third rounder. Cousins and Prescott were both fourth rounders. These are the QBs That have establish themselves as viable starting QBs or are 1 or second year QBs

So, if you mean by crapshoot, you don’t know whether or not the guy you draft is going to pay it out that is true. But if you mean by crapshoot that you are likely to find a starting quarterback in any round of the draft, you’re wrong. It’s more likely that your starter is going to be an early round pick and not a guy selected in the fourth round. It’s more likely that a starting player at any other position is going to be found in the fourth round, rather than drafting a QB there. Again, these are just my observations and why I question some of the pics the Saints made (and have made) in the draft.
