re: In their 56-year history the Saints have drafted 1 QB in the 1st round

Honestly, does anyone trust the Saints to draft a QB in the 1st round?

Had a similar thought before last draft when the board was in a draft a QB frenzy. Crazy thing is when you look at their QB history, you can tell the team thought they had "their guy" in house.

Cuozzo/Kilmer to start off the franchise from 1967-1970.
Draft Archie and he's the guy from 1971-1981
Ken Stabler from 1982-1983
Richard Todd in 1984
Bobby Hebert is now in the building from 1985-1992, with Walsh in 1990 during Hebert's holdout
Walsh/Wilson/Buck in 1993
Everett from 1994-1996
A bunch of shite from 1997-1999
Blake/Brooks in 2000, then Brooks from 2001-2005
Brees 2006-2020
Back to a bunch of shite in 2021-2022, then trading for Carr in 2023

I have no idea what the FO or HC's were thinking going into many of those seasons, but like I said you can tell they thought they had "their guy" so they could draft other positions.
