Draft Leinart
 

I'd draft him as soon as we came up.... then let the other teams scuffle for it. They want to play their little games knowing that most of them want Leinart.

RE: Draft Leinart
 

if it is possible to make a trade after the pick then sure it sounds great. the only other way is to pick him and be prepared to keep him until an option comes or deosnt come.

RE: Draft Leinart
 

pass on him. we don't need a francise QB. Sure a qb is a pieace of the puzzle but before you start building a puzzle you start with the out side edge...

It's possible....Chargers did it with Eli a couple of years ago. The only problem I have with drafting Leinart is if no one offers us what we want for compensation, then we Brees looking over his shoulder again. Then again, after what he did in San Diego after the Chargers traded for Rivers, it may not be a bad thing at all.

TRUTHFULLY!!!!!!! Mario williams? common guys..... I know his something good but... Smith and Grant I honestly feel they will come out this year.... and then what would the point be of us having Mario?

Well lets see: We pick him up,we don't get enough for him, we wind up having to keep him. You know how much money he's gonna demand? I don't know if I'd risk that.

Exactly. if we end up picking him, it's b/c another team called our bluff and we lost. What team is going to make a deal for him after he's been picked. none. zip.

two years ago it was done b/c one team was stupid enough to think they had to sell the next two years of draft for one guy, and the other team was stupid enough to not be patient with a QB who has done nothing but win.

We should take the guy that fills the most need for us, that we HAVEN'T already filled. stop the pipe dreams about some trade after the fact. it happens in basketball, not in real business

Who said anything about Mario Williams in this thread? :lol:

I was wondering the very same thing.

That dude get's around.

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.

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?
:flush:

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.

That's ok your opinion.

Nothing is sure except that we'll be doing the same thing next year.

Nah 1:00 on Saturaday there be alot of gripping one way or another. Granted I'll truely only be happy if we trade the draft and Bring Rickey Home:)

Yeah. His room is just how he left it. I almost flipped when they were talking about turning it into a guest room.

????

Nothing. I just kind of took your joke and ran with it.

Okay, long day left me confused

You two finished or are you gonna start massaging each other next? :hump:

:awe: Oh no. The gig is up!!!

I'm getting some thing massaged tonite but it aint from no dude

Thats what she said ;);)
