This guy’s become pretty darn popular for teams who don’t want to draft a QB in the first round...

Richmond QB Kyle Lauletta had a private workout with the #Saints recently, per source. Was also told he had a formal interview at combine with team.

Kyle Lauletta doesn't have a WOW arm some of the first round quarterback prospects have, though he's taller than Brees - most are...

But he threw three touchdowns with one week's familiarization of a Pro-Set offense at the Senior Bowl - that's impressive...

Usually defenses are ahead of offenses at those games - he gelled with receivers quickly and showed poise on a big stage his first run out...

If we'd signed Graham, I'd be hell-bent on taken Lauletta in the late third after taken DL Taven Bryan in round one (man, Im really crushin')...

Because defensive line is still the weakest unit for the Saints, and that includes wide receivers which are easier to fix in later rounds...

DT Bryan
TE H. Hurst
QB Jackson
DE Davenport
WR Kirk
OT Miller
WR Ridley
TE H. Hurst
DT Tim Settle

Think DT Maurice Hurst will be there and that we should take him.

He's got cardiac issues - may not be the same issues, but if there's heart questions in a man at that age, it could get complicated...

Didn't we learn our lesson from Fairley? Don't spend any picks on Days 1 nor 2 on 'em with that going on...

Yes, but that's why he may still be there when pre-combine he was a top 5 overall. He's had doctors clear him since.

We get 5 years or more of him at the expected level of play (possible DROY) and it's a good risk to take.

Touching on the Arden Key pro day topic. I’m 100% with some you that we should NOT have him anywhere near the 1st round on our board. Ran a 4.85+ 40 and He wants to play at 250? What would he run then?....5 flat in the 40yd dash?...for a tweener edge rusher? NO THANKS. Mix in the questionable character and thats just terrible. I dont see how any team could have him on their board in the 1st. With that said...there is talent there and the Saints are obviously doing their due diligence. Curious how his draft weekend turns out.
