The Chiefs first pick in the 2016 NFL draft was Chris Jones. The top QB on the board when they made that pick was Christian Hackenberg. In that case, I think it paid off to delay it until next year. You have to believe in the player and see the value versus the alternatives available. Realistically the Saints are more than a year away and have many needs, with a much worse roster and cap situation than the 2016 Chiefs, so clearly they can wait if they need to.

I would love a BPA but who do you suggest we enter the season with? I’m not sold on Rattler. Dart, imo, is the best in the draft. Any vets left out thrre?

Tyler Shough’s (Louisville QB) collegiate injury history would take him off my board.

Saints cannot afford to miss on this draft.
