Saints held talks for Number 1 Pick

Its to our advantage to make all 31 teams think we may go QB in this years draft.

True or not, signing Brees before the draft convinces all 31 teams we likely are not going QB.

That is true, as well. There are a number of reasons NOT to finalize an extension with Brees until after the draft and not a single good reason TO finalize anything immediately. And the mental well-being of a few fans is definitely not a good reason.

Lynch won't make it to 12 with the Rams taking Goff, The Eagles taking Wentz and Lynch going to any number of teams; Chargers, Cowboys, Jags, 49ers, Browns and Giants (Sorry Eli).

BIG SMOKE SCREEN

I think Blake Bortles has done enough for now that the Jags won't be looking for a QB. Eli and Rivers aren't spring chickens, nor have they played great lately, but I still doubt their teams will be looking for a QB yet. The Browns, yes. The 49ers, yes. The Cowboys, quite possibly yes, if for no other reason than the fact that Romo can't seem to stay healthy. And it's not like he doesn't have a good offensive line.

I guess they didn't have talks about trading up, nevermind!

NFL | Report: Saints did not discuss No. 1 pick - Rotoworld.com

ESPN's Mike Triplett reports the Saints did not discuss trading for the No. 1 overall pick.

This refutes a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who said the Saints were interested in trading up to acquire a quarterback. Triplett denies the Saints were ever involved in trade talks for No. 1, but he does agree the Saints are interested in adding a quarterback, perhaps in the middle rounds. Entering the final year of his deal, Drew Brees said extension talks

I say pick up Manziel on the really, really, cheap lock him into an incentive laden contract for 5 years and let Drew teach him. Would be worth a shot for cheap but also we should get another QB for Drew to mentor just in case.

Jamarcus would probably be as much a headache for much less money....
