The Ute Question

it didnt hurt that deuce had dropped at least ten spots just cuz of the injury rep. smith was top ten or above everywhere. even with 2 top de\'s it was a so good cannot pass situation. randy moss was passed on by 20 teams cuz of character issues. well, he still has but he still had more catches in his first 5 years than anyone in history. sometimes the talent is too overwhelming for the pick spot. i am asking is that the case with smith (or rodgers possibly) at 16?

If Rickey Williams wouldn\'t have been such an idiot, there was NO way we drafted Deuce in the FIRST round. You don\'t keep TWO probowl runningbacks on the same team. You just can\'t play them BOTH.

Will Smith was a totally different situation. All the players Haslett really wanted were off the board and Will Smith was to GREAT of a player to pass up. Also, Darren Howard has shown to be injury prone. And his contract was a BIG concern. I\'m sure all of that factored into it.

Now, as far as Haslett not passing up a QB if one drops to him? I don\'t think there\'s a snowballs chance in hell that Haslett is going to touch a QB in the first round.

I don\'t even think Haslett is THINKING of getting another QB. He might bring one into replace Bouman, but I ain\'t even so sure about that.

I\'ve read several articles that have suggested the Saints are thinking about doing this or that at the QB position. BUT, I\'ve haven\'t heard Haslett or ANYONE from the Saints utter ONE word about making a move...

These guys in the media will write anything this time of year.

That\'s my thought on the QB situation in Nawlins\'. Has nothing to do with the way I feel about Brooks.
