For what it is worth, if I am about to hire someone for $400k+ a year.. I want them to take the WPT-R, IQ, Color Blind test, Rorscach Test, they may even take the Pepsi Challenge.

Where do I apply?

Re: IF Tua falls....

If he falls to 24 take him in a heartbeat. If I were to move up because of a qb slipping it would be for Hebert. He has the skills. Tua has the team around him making him look better than what he really was

Anecdotally speaking, many folks test poorly because of anxiety(s) of the examination - taking practice exams, familiarity with the question types, will yield better testing results...

Obviously you can't fake intelligence (though some do try, especially congressmen), ;)

...but many players are intelligent, but don't test well because of a lack of familiarity with those exams...

I was talking to soneone the other day about the scores.

Don't trust them at all.

He won't fall to the Saints. The best possible outcome in the draft for Tua and the Saints would be if he did. Tua could sit a year. The Saints would have an All-Pro for the next 15 years. I wish the Saints would pull a Davenport type deal to draft DT Brown myself.

If he falls to 24 he is BPA.
The Saints will draft BPA.
I don't see what is the debate. Moving up to get him... I am not in favor of.

This is more unlikely to happen than likely.

BTW, an updated wonderlic score for Tua was 19 and Jalen Hurts 21.

Nawhhh... keep them open to the public. It is after all our dollars funding their soon to be lavish lifestyles. If the kids can't deal with this smallish issue, they're not good enough material. Besides, we need something to banter about during the off-season.
