Most of his throws were short, quick passes—nothing that shows real anticipation or high-level traits. Nothing about him jumps off the screen to me.

"Almost certainly" doesn't cut it if he was the one they had absolutely wanted.

That pick is a question mark.

Just about every QB in every draft is a question mark and all but a handful every few years are anything more than a bridge/average QB.

No issue at all with taking him at 40. He's the QB Moore wanted and other teams still need a QB so he took no chances and got his man. And if he's is t good enough they'll be picking top 10-15 again and you go and get one next year

I'd love to see a work horse RB and a LG

The Tyler Shough pick, hopefully shows the door to Derek Carr. So for that reason alone, I like the pick.

In terms of the player, Louisville fans are saying how much they liked him and how reliable a passer he is. So let's give Kellen a chance.

This is the highest we've drafted a QB in forever, so they obviously see something worthwhile. They've drafted him to start, so let's support him.

If he's rubbish, then we'll be drafting again, it's that simple. Let's just let Kellen build what he's trying to build first. This isn't an overnight fix, the team has too many holes, but the dude deserves some time.

I agree with the showing Carr the door part. I also agree with the Saints having many needs which is why I wish they would have gone BPA with the 2nd rd pick. I believe that Tyler would have been there later in the draft and we could have improved in so many areas.

We could have rode with Rattler another year since this is a start of a rebuild.

It's very likely Tyler would've been gone in the 3rd round. With the Carr situation, I don't think the Saints really had a choice. To me it means they are not sure on the Bayou Rattler. Draft grades were obviously wrong on Shedeur, despite what's left of Mel Kiper's hair is telling you. Even SP won't draft the guy. Nor Jerruh in Dallas... so far at least.

There's way too many holes to fill this year to fill our roster to be a SB contenter. Let's see what happens with Kellen Moore's pics.

We're done for now until the last two rounds.

Anyone here would have to be appreciative of the lack of trading your future for the move up that doesn't work out

Gunnar Helm, TE, UT
Cam Skattebo, RB, ASU
Miles Frazier, G, LSU

Guys that could help us in the 4th. I’m big on taking big ugly interior lineman in the mid rounds. I’m hoping we take a guard here.

All three are good with me. Can we get the RB and the G both ?

I want the Saints to focus primarily on defense from now until the season starts but I wouldn't be upset if they picked Skattebo next.
