Should the Saints draft Kellen Moore late?

There's not going to be any devastating suspensions of players dude.

Well everybody thought it was not gonna be a big deal, that Payton would get like 4-6 games and Loomis just a fine, and how well did that turn out. I will wait until the suspensions are actually announced before I say they're not gonna hurt. So far Vilma, Harper and Smith have been mentioned. That's 3 starters.

Harper is terrible in coverage, Vilma has two legit replacements.

I don't know, this has been discussed before and I think it was Danno who provided some of the stats from the PPV stat site, which showed that he was actually pretty good in coverage against TEs when it comes to strong safeties.

I'm not saying he is great in coverage, because that is clearly not his strength, but he isn't as bad at it as many times is suggested.

Every pick has to pay off in the next few years. We don't need him we need every draft pick to be "that gem" we found. OK, realistically if we just get two late round gems we can make up for a draft pick. Not only that we have a few players returning from injury that could be impact players from the start of the season.

Kellen Moore leaves Boise State as college football's winningest quarterback with a 50-3 record, 142 career touchdown passes (second all time), 14,667 passing yards (fifth) and the lowest interception percentage (0.01689) in NCAA history.
But he's now projected to fall to the later rounds. He is creating so little buzz that his father, Tom, describes his son as having become "basically invisible to some people."
Moore is relatively short on arm strength and speed (4.9 in the 40). He excelled at so many little things in fashioning an unprecedented .943 winning percentage as Boise State's four-year starter that coach Chris Petersen describes him as "Mr. Intangible."

If Moore were to be undrafted, which I doubt, I'd love for the Saints to pick him up.

Prospect perceptions: Height still crucial for QBs in draft

I watched this kid play here in Idaho. He is good. Just like Brees. Smart, doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Very accurate and a great leader. The answer to the question is: YES!!!

How high would you be willing to see the Saints pick him in the draft?

With only 5 picks in the draft, they can't afford to "waste" any of them.
