There has been a lot of talk about when the Saints are going to draft a QB to replace Brees in a few years and I just wanted your opinion of Rakeem Cato. I wouldn't want to draft a QB before the 3rd or 4th round due to the fact that we have more pressing needs and there is a small window to win now with Brees, but what if we could get a guy like Cato in the 7th or UDFA. He seems like a good kid that came from a terrible situation and still managed to keep his life in order and even succeed probably more so than people expected. Coming from were he did, you can assume he has a good work ethic and wouldn't take his opportunities for granted. Maybe he could learn the game under Brees and be a viable option in a few years. Put up good numbers against lesser competition, but seems to have improved every year and has his head screwed on straight. What say you?

More than likely any legitimate successor is going to have to be a higher draft pick. Not a lot of diamond in the rough probowl caliber quarterbacks out out there.

Well, it's Rakeem Cato, firstly.

It might be a good pick up.
They say his size is not quite NFL-ish, but that never stopped the Saints before.

We will draft a QB or UDFA for camp. 100% sure of that.
I will care who and when I know Brees is gone . And as I've said before Drew ain't groomin sh!t unless he's a coach.

A little too early.

Saints need to protect him.

Mariota would be a protege.

Jameis Winston, no way. Not enough fake crab meat for him.

I think the OP is talking about possible very late rounders or even UDFA, these two are likely first round picks. I would be in on Hackenberg if its for him to sit for a few years and learn like Aaron Rodgers did.

Out of respect for Bobby Hebert, the Saints will draft Conner Cook next year. That will keep things as simple as possible for Bobby when mentioning passing plays (Cook to Cooks).

I really do believe next year is when the Saints will draft the successor.

Yawn. Drew Brees will never let that happen. He wants to be the main guy till he rides off to the sunset.

SP has been secretly working with Jarret Lee. They feel they can sign him and not have to waste a draft selection or trade for him. The next Drew is on the way.

I would rather get Bryce Petty in the 3rd or skip QB all together rather then a late round project.

Trade down in 1st.

Pick up a extra 3rd for starters and this might be a good pick.

If Collins or Scherff are gone at 13 I am all for trading down.

Do not want Ray, Wayne, Parker or Thompson at 13. I'll take Harold, Kendricks, or Peters 10 picks later with a bonus 2nd thrown in.
