Is Grayson Ready to Step it up as a Backup?

I cant help but feel like we just wasted a draft pick on him. His contract will be up by the time Drew retires and he isn't going to sign again because he is going to want a chance to start or at least be second string. We could've drafted a DE or hell even a punter and would've got more out of it.

Probably four out of five QB's any NFL team drafts never makes a roster as a starter or even a backup. But, given the fact that a QB is the most important position, I can see where it would make sense to use one pick a year on the position and that is basically the philosophy of Payton and the Saints.
