Re: New Orleans Saints Draft - 2024

Not bothered by a pick like this in the 5th. Its pretty much a crap shoot at this point. Everyone needs developed or has flaws. Why not take a shot on a QB, if it works great, if it doesn't you might have a cheap back up or someone easily cut

Dak Prescott was drafted in a similar spot.

I like the value and upside of Rattler. The redundancy of having both Rattler and Haener is kind of goofy though.

Can he play OL or TE?

LetHaener and Rattler battle for 2/3 spots. If they look OK, at least good enough to bridge the team you let Carr and his contract go and start opening up the cap again. You can clear 32ml off the cap with a post June cut. I think he does enough to be kept round and moved on in 2026 though and the June 1st cuts used elsewhere

Maybe... but I think we're stuck with Carr for one more year. Cap implications clear up after that. Would love to see a Haener outing of some sorts. We need to see if he can do it.

They don't... Kubiak prolly already has an idea. At least I hope so.

The cap implications to moving on from Carr will never clear up if we keep restructuring to kick the can every year. 2025 is as good as it will get. If we restructure in 2025 instead, 2026 wont be easier.
