But I will say this on Lamar Jackson the player ...

The things I'd really be interested in as a GM are :

(1) Can he command a huddle.
(2) Does he have the ability to learn concepts.
(3) How does he do on the chalk board breaking down plays?
(4) His demeanor & approach to the huddle.
(5) When breaking down plays, can you tell me "who is the primary? Who is the secondary?" Check downs at the line of scrimmage.
(6) Can he speak the game?

At this level, you can't win simply on athletic ability alone. It's what is between the ears.

If he can do those things effectively and consistently ... and he's your best option (BPA) @ 27 ... take him and feel good about the pick.

At some point, the Saints will need a QB. #9 has spoiled us but he's approaching 40.

Just maybe Taysom Hill is that guy...

Personally for me, it's difficult to get excited about Taysom Hill. His College tape is just littered with overthrown slant passes which is slightly ignored because the guy has wheels.
