Speaking of the 2024 draft, it's not looking good for the Saints to land one of the best QB prospects, the good news is there are still decent prospects after the first 5 or 6 top guys are taken. Tulane's Michael Pratt could be an interesting prospect that will take a couple years to develop, he is projected to go around the 3rd round.
You're right brother.

Glad you brought up Tulane . Last year I was banging the drum for the Saints to draft Tyjae Spears @ RB but for whatever reason (I assume medical or we just ignore talent in our backyard) scouts opted to go with Kendre Miller .

Spears has been impactful and productive (has played in all 14 games) for the Titans. Miller .. not so much. IMO the Saints will need to re visit the 2024 draft @ RB. KM is not going to last long term.

And Pratt? I'll be keeping an eye on his draft stock in the coming months.

I wonder how a Jalen Milroe (Alabama) would do in the NFL. He's built like a LB with RB/WR speed.

That type of QB may be the future of the position. You'd just need 2 or 3 of them on your roster, but maybe thats what happens.

Haener has all the factors that next years QB's have. The great thing is we don't have to draft another QB with him in already in the building after almost a full year learning the system. We just need someone to develop him. And no, that person isn't in the building!

I love Pratt as a prospect.

Penix has extraordinary arm talent. Don't think I've ever seen a lefty that can sling it like this. Do not let him leave the Superdome! Lock him in Mickey's secret liquor closet!

Agreed. Penix does look good.

Hope he doesn’t end up in Atlanta.

Isn't he like a 6-7 year senior or something?

They won’t take him. They’re going to give Carr and Allen at least one more year. They’ll start the rebuild in 2026.

Correct. Penix prior medicals @ IU & the transfer portal.

Side note - in that Youtube clip the guys claims “New Orleans will look very different next year”. Yeah, show me .
