“Yikes. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has been busy polling personnel around the NFL on their top-10 rankings at every position, seeking feedback from general managers, coaches, and scouts alike. And of the “nearly 80 voters” he spoke with, not a single one was willing to rank Derek Carr among the game’s best quarterbacks.

Between the top-10 list, six honorable mentions, and two other quarterbacks receiving votes, there were 18 passers highlighted by ESPN’s rankings. And the New Orleans Saints’ $150 million man was not among them.”

So, what incredible passer should the Saints have selected instead. Should the Saints have given up 3 1st round draft picks to get to the top of the first round to get Stroud?

Dammit, don't you get it man. The team got the guy they could get with the resources they had at the time instead of overreaching for a prospect.

Unless you share a better idea of what can be done, these reports that are coming across your desk are pretty worthless.
