He is a big boy and knows how football works. He has said it many times. He knows a third round pick isn't going to take his job until he is ready to hang up the cleats.
I think by picking a QB in the third the organization is telling him that he is still the man and will be as long as he wants. Drew is not an idiot, he knows for a team to keep winning they have to prepare for the future.
Drew likes competition and this wont be any different than him competing with any backup.

I dont think he has 4 years. I think he has 2 maybe 3 left with this organization. By then hopefully next in line will be ready.
I promise you Drew wont be in the corner sucking his thumb acting all butt hurt because of this.

Not looking forward to a team that isn't led by Drew Brees, the guy is an absolute legend for what he's done, the team will need to move on at some point but it's hard to picture our team without Brees at the helm.

You will cry over Drews retirement for exactly 8 weeks if we are 8-0 under the next QB.

His contract ends in two seasons, his production may not warrant the contract he may want to sign a new one. It'd be nice to have a backup plan in place rather than be left out in the cold, that's all I'm sayin'

I agree. I just don't see Grayson as the guy. This draft didn't have a great quarterback in it. Winston might be the only one who had all the tools, but we all know the story with him.

I am all for having a plan for the future, but to me you need to be all in like the packers drafting Rodgers when they still have a productive Brett Favre. Rodgers sat a couple years, and you can say that helped him learn, but he also had first round talent. Drafting a guy like Grayson and letting him sit is little more of a sure thing to me than the guy we already have in Ryan Griffin. I just don't see it with this guy. But we spent a 3rd rounder on him, so I hope I'm wrong.
