At least Taysom Hill can play special teams. That's all we'll need out of a back-up for the next several years.

I thought about that also. If Brees is still going strong in 4 years a QB that we draft will just be warming the bench and it would turn into a wasted pick.

I wouldn't want to use a number one unless we swung a trade and got back into the 2nd round and picked a need player.
We have the extra mid-late round picks we could package with next year's 2nd. That worked twice, right?
