2 Fresno State QBs on the roster.

Perfect pick... he can ride the pine and learn... and eventually take over in a few years.

Or be traded to a needy team in a few years via the Patriots M.O.

Doubt it.... it's Jameis' last year with us. Haener is coming in to not only supplant Winston, but be the eventual replacement.

Haener looks like he processes his reads quickly, good arc on the ball and nimble throwing on the run or when unsettled. I love this pick as a guy to learn under Carr, Winston and Taysom.

But I dislike what it does to the roster. As with Ian a few years ago, we can't waive him to the practice squad without losing him. So barring an unforeseen injury, we'll have to carry 4 QB's (including Taysom) on the 53 and basically be a man down depth-wise. Roster spots are valuable, and it's not hard to imagine a scenario where this costs us a game, even if Haener pans out down the road.

Yes you can also say that Taysom really isn't a QB anymore outside of the QB Power package. But part of the benefit of Taysom is he can do his thing and has enough experience to serve as a 3rd string QB. Adding another QB negates some of that versatility.

This is an intriguing pick. He's the first QB to be picked since Levis was picked at the beginning of round two at thirty three so this might be the beginning of the next run of QB's in the draft. Kind of like the pick of Saldiveri started the run of OL to begin the fourth round.
This guy is little. I like that he's smart and has strong leadership qualities but he has to live in the weight room this year.
People are quick to compare him to one of the best QB's of all time in Drew Brees but hold your horses. I'm absolutely eating the cheese with this draft but Brees was a phenomenal football player.

I doubt he'll ever be as good as Carr. As long as Carr produces he will be the starter for the Saints. I don't believe they signed him as a stopgap. They signed him as the future.
