re: Just read a very interesting Saints mock on footballs future.

I dunno.. Brees is 35. I know he has said he feels good, but hoping he plays into his 40s is a bit of a stretch. I would hope he would play at least 2 more seasons, and I'd be very happy with 3. The fact is, there is no norm with this. Just because Brady and Manning will play into their 40s means nothing. I don't want our guy to play too long - I want him to be medically sound after he retires.

That said, I could see us taking a QB this year. I could see the teams thought process to get there.. Especially if Drew has expressed any honesty to the FO about how long he intends to play for. This years draft is deep - really, really deep. And for the first time in a while, we don't have any SUPER glaring needs. We can all agree we could use a corner, WR, safety and tackle, and maybe a center, but I expect the team to address most of those in FA, and I think a few backups from previous years will step up into starting roles well. The point is - we are not DESPERATE at any position. If the season started tomorrow, we wouldn't be completely screwed... That is the situation you WANT to be in. It's very likely we won't be in that situation again until long after Drew retires. If we are going to attempt to take a QB for the future, now would be the time to do it, rather than wait for Drew to retire and then suffer through a 3-13 season in order to get a high pick for another QB.

I'm not saying they'll do it. I'm not even interested in Carr. But it wouldn't shock me if they did take a QB. I know there would be a lot of rage here..
