Re: New Orleans Saints 1 of 5 teams poised to draft Marcus Mariota at No. 2, website says | NOLA.com
I'm not against drafting a QB to tutor under Drew for the next few years. But I think they'd be stupid to waste two first round draft picks to move up and get any QB in this draft. If they want someone for Brees to mentor a couple of seasons, better wait until next year and take a look at the stock. Mariotta and Winston aren't the answers. I really don't see either of them being a "franchise quarterback". In fact when I hear Mariotta and Winston I think of RGIII and Geno Smith.
The tools are there but they lack the the intangibles. Just my opinion. I'd be surprised if either of them are in the league in 5 years. I could be wrong of course. |

Where do these yahoos get their information? Why do they all want to see the Saints trade Brees next year? Their statements tell me they don't know anything and are pulling it from out of the ass. Drew is the face of the franchise and has more than one good year left. I can't see us trading up to pick Mariota when Bryce Petty would be a better fit and would be available in a later round.

Petty: isn't he #3 QB on most boards? Maybe we'd have to use too high of a pick. Otherwise, I'd like someone to learn under Brees for next year and don't see why UDFA Griffin is the answer. Odds say, no, he isn't.
I like how Taylor Heinicke (Old Dominion), quick release, and his stats. I'd take him in the 5th. Garrentt Grayson (CSU) looks good, too. What I really wish was QB Murray (Georgia) in the 4th last year instead of Fortt. I was so sure we'd take him and then someone (NFL) network said Payton wanted him with our 5th but he went just before. |
