The problem with this is that no one knows if DeShaun is a franchise QB, and I guarantee you there will be some kid (maybe even 2 or 3) that looks exactly like DeShaun next year, and the year after, and the year after that. None of those kids will be sure things either, but we have a sure thing at QB right now. It simply makes no sense to bail on that for a future QB who may or may not pan out, when a good defense could put us in a position to win right now.


This. Teams that use early 1st on QBs actually need that guy now. Teams looking down the line to feel guys out or groom for future do so in later rounds. It would be moronic for the saints to pick a QB in the 1st. Period

No one knows if any QB is a franchise QB or sure thing. You can approach any potential draftee with the same skepticism. People thought Alex Smith was better than Aaron Rodgers

I mean, the best QB in the world was a 1st rd pick that sat behind a HOF QB for 3 seasons. We might have our QB now, but this team isnt as equipped to compete as people think. For three seasons this has been the narrative
