Best two choices, IMHO. And they both can be had in the later rounds.

Shough’s injury history has red flags all over it.

He has been in school so long, he backed up Justin Herbert @ Oregon

They won't draft the geriatric QB.

Josh Conerly - OT
Oregon

Overview
Two-year starter whose in-season improvement and performance against Penn State’s Abdul Carter make it easier to project his future. Conerly is proportionally built but lacks ideal play strength.

Strengths
- Showed vast improvement as the season progressed.
- Movements are composed and relatively athletic.
- Accelerates hard into down blocks.
- Works with strain at the point of attack and is rarely on the ground.

Weaknesses
Lacks pace to collect linebacker on work-up blocks.
Needs to improve his play strength and play bigger.

1st and 2nd round grades

I'm not sure who will be there after rd 1. Giants might move up for Dart. If Saints want Dart they're gonna need to move into the 20s. Giants have a high enough pick in round 2 to move up around there.

Hope they don't want Dart. He was crying like a school girl on the sidelines during a game this past year .

Dart’s body of work at USC & Ole Miss didn’t have him ranked as a top 20 QB after his collegiate career was over. Now he’s a top pick

?

Reaching for him in rd 1 would be like drafting Payton Turner all over again.

I hope they go trenches or WR with that pick @ 9.

I'll be mad with Dart at 9, but I'll be pissed with Shough anytime.
