lets be real, if drew goes down we are fricked. THere is no backup we can ride even enough to get by. spending any picks on a player that is only there as a band aid once we've been gutted is useless
very short-sighted viewpoint. Sometime soon Loomis and Payton will want to pick up a good young QB (not an UDFA), and begin grooming him for real (as compared to the practice run they did with Chase Daniel).

Think about it- they got Chase ready to play at an acceptable level after a couple years (presumably), and he wasn't drafted. Drew will eventually get old, and you're gonna want a good replacement ready, ala Rodgers following Favre.

My guess is Drew will be done around 36-37, and so you are gonna start picking your spot soon. This year the way guys dropped, if we had extra picks, it would have been worth a look.

You don't draft a replacement 4 years out when you have one of the worst defenses in history.

Its pointless to waste a draft pick on a qb that you don't expect to start till 5-6 years down the road. I'm all for drafting a guy when Brees is a year or two from retiring but it's still too early
