Daniel Jeremiah has us taking Paxton Lynch in his newest mock. Could Payton be thinking the same thing? Could explain the no Brees restructure...

In all honesty, I can see it happening. Don't want it to, not a bit.. but I can remove my fan bias enough to see some logic in it. And really, if we were to draft a QB in the first he would be the one I'd feel best about. Not sold on Goff or Wentz, and I'm not totally sold on Lynch either.. But he has come a long way in a short time in terms of the work he's done to prepare for the transition from college to the pros. He has all the physical tools and attributes you'd like, plus a lot of natural athleticism. If his dedication to his craft continues like this then I'd say give him 2-3 years and he could become a really good pro. Obviously we would all prefer a day one starter with our first pick, but it would be a solid investment in the future.. in fact if it stops all the "life after Brees" type threads it might be worth it on that alone!

Seriously though, prepare yourselves people. If he's sitting there at 12, have yourself a strong drink with a couple of muscle relaxers crushed up in it on standby and just know that this too shall pass...

Best thing the Saints can do is wait till the end of the season; if Brees finishes breaking down to injury as he did last year, Saints gain some leverage...

This last deal is gonna be ugly with Brees...And I wouldn't give guaranteed money past next season...

Out of receivers only Jones(sort of), Hilton, Wright, and Benjamin have done anything. Hemingway never got enough targets(and playing for Alex Smith). And out of the olinemen I think only two here did anything. Mosley and Brooks.
