stop the pipe dreams about some trade after the fact. it happens in basketball, not in real business
There are teams out there that are extremely QB hungry. Tennesee, NY Jets, Arizona, and Oakland to name a few. There are only 3 top tier QB's in the draft this year and any of those teams could easily make a move to deal with the Saints if they draft one of them. Sure, it is a risky move, but if it works then the Saints have made a great move. If they call the bluff and no one offers up reasonable compensation, then the Saints still have a great QB waiting in the wings. The pick would make sense if the Saints weren't committed to giving Brees 12 million next season regardless of how he plays this year.

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

I just don't think it would make sense from a finacial stand-point.

As big an advocate of Matt Leinart as I am, I hope we do not make that pick. Hawk, even at #2, is the best choice for us now that we have Drew Brees.

right. why am I going to write off brees now when he hasn't even played a game for us? by saying "we may as well draft Leinart" youdo that. What happens if Brees kicks ass next year? Then we have to let him go? we keep him at 12 mil in bonus money on top of Leinart's huge (and it will be) bonus?

We have a chance to pick up someone that can be the same thing at a different posiiton for us that we got Brees for...a difference maker. At number 2 we either take Hawk or Brick...that's my final two

If we are talking about drafting for needs... For the 4th straight year, CB then LB. If you are drafting for "the best player on the board." It has to be Leinart. I mean the guy was a definite No. 1 overall pick last year, and all he did this year is take his team back to the national title game. Which he didn't lose for them.

we will see what the great QB coach payton has in mind. Trade down to get cuttler?

I'd take Cutler at 2 at this point. Unless we can trade back. Better athleate and less fragile a QB than Leinart. No way shape or form should this team take the UC QB.

That's a horrible idea. What in the world brought this on.

I've actually whatched him play on a few occasions and thus have determined by forming my own opinion haveing see the other play on many an occasion, since USC was the cream of the crop in college ball that Leinart is more of a Ken Dorsey with less of and arm then any of the top 5 QB's in this draft. I see nothing wrong with Hawk at 2 either but if the team goes QB then Cutler over Leinart, Leinart's has peaked.

Upside? I can see that. I think he'll be good in a few years. But by no means would I go that way.
