The Saints took that Dolphins first rounder and their own first rounder to move up in the 1st round to pick this clown. He may indeed be the worst acquisition the Saints ever made.

If we're talking draft picks that opens up a whole other cache of choices, most notably Trevor Penning.

One or two more embarrassing losses away from starting
a mock draft post.

Honestly, I don’t even see the Saints taking a shot at JD, at least
not with this current coaching staff.

If you consider timing and ability to know better not just salary I can make an argument for Nick Fairley’s 2017 extension including if you want the 2016 deal that led to it. Fairley had a documented heart condition and the Saints did not order a throrough evaluation of its current status from a specialist before signing Fairly to a 4 year deal from 2017-2020. The second the signing bonus hit his account Fairley went to a specialist, got an update, and never played another down. That contract covered 2017-2020, the four best seasons in the Saints championship window, and they paid a guy good starter money to never play a down. Add another quality starter to that mix and rings are very possible. Carr’s contract is probably a bigger financial disaster but i dont think it hits at a time when we could win a ring if Carr was the 14th best qb like he is paid to be, or even the 8th best, with our issues on oline and pass rush.

On the phone yesterday saying I feel the same way about Jayden that I did about Stroud.

Add 10lbs and he'll be lethal.

This coaching staff would royally mess him up if we did Draft Jayden.

This management top to bottom needs to be shown the door first.

Everything going forward has to assume this atrocity ends by the end of season.

Some great mentions here. Another that comes to mind is Coby Fleener.

Holy smokes. This is going to be the longest off-season ever. If Mrs. Benson doesn't clean house after this season is over then we'll have to endure a two year off-season at least.
