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.

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.

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.
