I know this may sound like I'm only saying this because he played at LSU, but I really think the Saints should draft Zach Mettenberger if he's available third round and after. I definitely think the first two rounds picks should be O-Line/defense. I think Mett has great potential to be a great pro QB, and to learn as Drew Brees' understudy would take him even further. What do y'all think?

I'd rather spend the pick on a WR or CB or OL. Drew has probably 3-5 good years left. We can draft a QB in a year or two.

I think Mett will make a decent pro - he has all of the physical tools outside of needing better footwork and pocket mobility. But I don't see the Saints using a pick on him unless he falls pretty far (4th or 5th?)

You're going to get destroyed for posting this, though

Hell no. Doesn't fit our system, IMO

I'm sure if a QB has a high enough grade on him to outweigh all the other positions it's possible(in general), but the Saints are not going to go out of their way to get one.

Because that's exactly why you're saying this.

Mett is one of my favorite LSU players ever.

Griffin is our guy. We've invested in him now and he looked very good last preseason.

He's very similar to mett actually

He has pro potential.
But we gave up a spot on the team for a 3rd QB in our playoff run we didn't need.
Tells me they will give RGIV the shot 1st.

Total lack of mobility with injury issues. I would not go in this direction. Personally, I would trade our number one and try to get draft choices this year and next.

God that would be a far cry from the Brees era. Brees' mobility is criminally underrated. The way he's able to avoid pressure is amazing. Calling Mett a statue, is an insult to statues everywhere.
