I think we're planning to sign Drew to a 3 year contract and the team fully expects him to full fill that contract at 100%. With competent backups on the team, I doubt we'll spend draft picks for a QB.

If we move up in the first round for any offensive position that would definitely be Tight End.

He makes up for lack of hand size with his large ego.

It seems to be working for him for quite well.

I just don't know if Mayfield is going to be there when we pick. I don't see us trying to trade up to get him either.

I think Drew is going to be with us 2-3 years. Even if he loses some more on his deep passes he still have great accuracy. Essentially we are moving to the Kenny Stabler days. He couldn't throw the ball pass 20 yards but he could make any throw under 20 lol.

said before:
With so many top-notch QBs coming out this year, there is going to be a ton of movement at that position
add to that Foles, Brissett, Glennon, Bradford could be available
and Tom Savage and Osweiler. And, oh yeah, Cousins.

Will they really be stupid enough to trade up to draft him?

All I have to say is I now see what SP is all about and when Brees is done, I think that's it for me. I am not rooting for the image SP is enforcing. Brees is too nice and pure for the saints to be the villain team SP wants.

Browns is going to take Baker Mayfield so another QB will go there and have his career ruined.

QB is such a hit or miss position with limited options, and in my opinion, Mayfield wont be elite in the NFL. Especially if he goes to Cleveland.

I'll go with what ever Jeff Ireland says ...

definitely not first overall - they'll go with Darnold or Rosen first
add Jackson to the mix and Mayfield might last until #20

Rudolph is intriguing and might be available

Mayfield? He's a top 5 LOL! Not going to happen. So we give up 4-5 picks for a QB? When has that ever worked out? Maybe like 1% of the time. Pray we do not go full "Browns Mode".

Re: Saints' ongoing search for a Drew Brees heir begins in earnest this week at Senior Bowl
 

I would not trade up for him but if he is there I would jump all over it. How much sh@# talking would be going on with him and coach Payton together?

Payton and Mayfield:

Now is not the time to draft a replacement for Drew. All of the players from the last two drafts will come due for a second contract at around the same time. I read an interesting article about spreading the cap around that was informative about making sure that all contracts don't come due at the same time.
We need to worry about filling the weak spots on the roster with our draft picks while Drew is still going to the Pro Bowl.

Beast,

Initially I agree with you 100%, then I put on my GM hat & looked at his off the field "issues" ... disorderly conduct, public intoxication, resisting arrest & the crotch grab :rolleyes: incident that prompted his HC to strip his Captainship (I know it's not a word) in his final home game. To become the face of a franchise, those become valid concerns to a owner.

Feelings of those incidents will vary from GM to GM & it may potentially scare many away ... even dropping him to the lower half of the 1st round.

He's a gamer no doubt and I'm excited to see where he lands come April.

Come on. Those same issues never affected Johnny Manz... :bugeyes: ... wait, never mind.

Re: Saints' ongoing search for a Drew Brees heir begins in earnest this week at Senior Bowl
 

I just can't get behind picking anyone until he's gone. LB, TE, WR or BPA.

Re: Saints' ongoing search for a Drew Brees heir begins in earnest this week at Senior Bowl
 

Sure it is. I stripped my captainship last night. Twice.

In fairness Johnny like waiving his money sign around... Baker likes waving his c**k around, LMAO.

I do find it a bit different though???

Re: Saints' ongoing search for a Drew Brees heir begins in earnest this week at Senior Bowl
 

I view Baker as the complete opposite of Johnny. Sure he's "cocky" because he's had to scratch and claw for just about everything. Baker has done quite well to say he was a "walk on" to a couple of programs. Dude is super competitive. No one ever seen Brady have a "fit" on the sideline before?

Good luck to Baker wherever he lands in the NFL draft.
