Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Kids a beast and has great potential to start in the nfl. I'm not sure which round he will go in but I think the saints should consider drafting him. Quick release and arm strength are great. What y'all think take him or no?

projected 4-6 round pick; considering we don't trade up and use all of our 5 early picks on needs, I don't see why not...

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I just have a feeling he could end up being the best QB to come out of this draft. Especially if he gets to sit under Bree's

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

And Ryan Griffin?

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Let's face it Ryan griffin is not Bree's heir. Wish he was but it'll never happen. I think griffin is capable of being good but never great.

Swear I didn't read no article lol i think I had a vision. With that said

"holds the NCAA record for lowest career interception percentage (1.18)."

^ gets no better than that

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

If we're looking to develop a QB nows the time. My opinion Winston and Mariota will become bust. Pettys intangibles and potential is exactly what We need. With drews knowledge this kid could be elite.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I think we could pick him up at 179, if available

Pick o-line, linebacker, o-line, linebacker, rinse, repeat....

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Right but what goods that gonna do when Bree's retires and we gotta roll the dice for a QB. We need a QB not to develop one year with Bree's but multiple to be sure. Just my opinion take petty the latest round we can. Kids gonna be a starter in the NFL somewhere just got a good feeling.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

If somehow Petty falls to the 5th round, take him. To many holes to take a QB anywhere before the 2nd 5th rounder if they keep it

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

We've got a quarterback on the roster now...

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I have been saying it since the start he's gonna be the best and Hundley behind him of this class.

Did Warner ever do that one finger salute thing? I noticed Petty doing this. I want to read up on his character as that is extremely important.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Wow he really is a Christian! I am sold. Not that he needed to be religous, but just the fact that he is not out clubbing and partying like Manziel.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

But Petty is going to be a winner. He is actually a better Christian version of Wilson. There is something about the guy, thats what we will need to be able to beat the QBs in our division most seasons after Drew. I don't think Griffin has those tangibles imho.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I dont want my next QB sitting on the bench for the next 3 years. That new tookie cintract is to valuable in terms of freeing uo cap than too waste three years of it.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

What can he possibly demand after if he doesn't really play during his rookie contract?? He will get a basic QB contract and have to prove he's elite to get big money. I'm telling y'all mark my words petty is the truth.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Check out this interview. The kids determined to transition from college to nfl. I think he will embrace the opportunity to learn under Bree's. I hope we draft him I really do.

If hr starts year 4 of the 5 year deal he will be getting a good deal if he is the guy.

There is a reason Indy are loading up now while they make a last throw of the dice while Luck is under contract

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Well you got to pull the trigger eventually. I honestly would rather the QB of the future to sit under Bree's for a while. Then To just draft one and hope he does well. Bryce is the ideal QB to sit under Bree's and be successful. An he would get a decent contract but nothing that would kill us. I got a feeling it's gonna happen with our 2nd rd pick. Payton wanted grapollo or however you spell his name last year and New England snatched him up a round before Payton was gonna get him. The time is now finding a QB can kill a team for years and years. Gotta get it done now before its to late

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I just dont see it with him.
I see no point wasting a day 2 pick on player who isn't seeing the field for a few years.



*Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor*
Height: 6-2. Weight: 230.*
40 Time: 4.87.*
Projected Round (2015): 4-6.*

3/14/15:*WalterFootball.com knows that multiple NFL teams viewPetty as a third-day prospect*despite the hype from some draft pundits. He had a solid Combine performance.*

The view of league contacts was justified by Petty's performance in 2014. His accuracy was inconsistent, and he missed a lot of wide-open receivers who any NFL quarterback has to connect with. To help himself, Petty finished the year well against Michigan State, including a number of accurate deep balls. Petty needed a strong week at the Senior Bowl, but that didn't happen. He was average and looks like a backup for the NFL rather than a developmental starter.*

Petty completed 63 percent of his passes in 2014 for 3,855 yards with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He had six rushing touchdowns. Petty needs to improve in his pocket passing and accuracy.*

8/27/14:*2013 was an impressive debut season for Petty as Baylor's starting quarterback. The dual-threat quarterback could definitely improve as a pocket passer now that he has gained a year of experience. Petty completed 62 percent of his passes last year for 4,200 yards with 32 touchdowns and three interceptions. He ran for 339 yards and 14 touchdowns as well. Petty backed up Robert Griffin III and Nick Florence for three seasons .*
Weaknesses

Scouts concerned he could be product of Baylor's one-read system. Has tendency to spray the ball against zone coverage on intermediate routes. Can extend plays but won't make many plays downfield once he extends. Mistakes happen when forced to come off of first read. Struggles when defenders are near his feet. Yards per attempt declined in 2014 and screens were a much higher percentage of his passes. Struggles to pull himself from the doldrums when having a poor game. Nose of the ball dives when he doesn't drive throws with his lower body. Must learn to read defenses and get through his progressions when he joins the NFL.

Sources Tell Us

"My grade is a projection based on what I think he can do rather than what he did this year. I think his back was a bigger problem for him than people realize." -- AFC North area scout*

"Offenses that ask quarterbacks to look to the sidelines so coaches can make the pre-snap reads will never crank out NFL ready quarterbacks. Those quarterbacks all need redshirt years in the league." -- AFC West area scout*

"After watching the tape, talking to both guys and seeing them work out, I have Petty ahead as my third quarterback." -- AFC quarterbacks coach

Also add in his back issue (similar to Romo).

The best thing for the Saints would be a team wanting to jump up to take him at the end of the first round and we mive back 5/6 places and gain a third.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I want to watch this kid next year.

Jonathan Goff, QB, California*
Height: 6-4. Weight: 210.*
Projected 40 Time: 4.69.*
Projected Round (2016): 1-3.*
2/8/14:*Goff enjoyed a breakout 2014 season. The sophomore completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards with 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Goff displayed real pocket-passing potential while playing with a less-than-ideal supporting cast. He became the starter as a freshman in 2013 and completed 60 percent of his passes for 3,508 yards with 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.


We will have a better idea by then how long Brees is with the team as he will wither be extending his deal or getting replaced the season after

Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor hmmm
collapsing pocket is not his place of comfort.
happy feet and panic

now if SP can be a Valium for this kids zen peace of mind thing, they are trying to sell us on, then i have to roll with it.

"peace of mind"???? freaking agents gesshhhh

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

... aaaand you say this because????

Gee, I don't know... market value?

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Rather see us bring a good kicker in. Any leg in the draft that's worth looking at this year?

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

There's a 'sticky' thread at the top of the forum, we all need to help out...

Don't be shamed or tight, give what you can, it really helps Halo keep it going...

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Just let Drew play out his contract and give Ryan a legitimate chance, everyone should be pleasantly surprised who's been on our roster...

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Petty wouldn't be a bad choice. It would probably take him 2 or 3 years to develop, which is about what Brees has left.

I wouldn't burn an early pick on him, but if he's there late why not?

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

We would have to use a rd 3 on him which I would be in favor of. Saw the kid play in person. He is a beast and would be ready in 2 years.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Nothing wrong with having competition for Ryan G either.

Agree. Later pick? Sure.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

Petty could be one of those best kept secret kind of guys who can transition to the NFL and be very successful. It is not always the top drafted QBs who make the best NFL QBs. I would like to see us give him a chance.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

There are a few young guns coming out in the draft this year and next year. Payton will have his eye on Drew's replacement for at least a year before he drafts the future of this franchise.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I don't think his back issue is going to be a problem. But lets face it strong heart and leadership is going to be needed to hold off the teams in this division with better athleticism and better receivers. Petty can probably adjust I'm sure. And I thought he's going third round or fourth? However, I'm hearing eagles could get him possibly if not Mariota. Baylor's system is not ours. I hope Payton has his own replacement in mind that can continue the saints success on offense the way he does it before he leaves with Brees.

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I hope this happens !

Re: Should we draft and develop QB Bryce Petty
 

I'd like that. I believe we could get him with our second 5th rounder or even in the 6th.
