re: Will you be shocked if we draft a qb after the 2nd round?

I said before I think they take BPA almost regardless of position(no K, P, or FB as these spots are too part time and we have legit guys there). I think the whole draft will be as such except maybe making sure they get a center unless we sign one in FA.
I'm sure certain positions will be lower than others if the value is equal, such as QB, TE, and OT. But if there is a QB whose value is too good to pass up I think they'll take him, even if that's in the first.
As crazy as this sounds, you have 2 scenarios that play out.
The first is you draft a stud and trade him for a 1st or 2nd rounder(maybe more depending on how good he turns out and depending on where he was drafted).
The second is you let him learn under Brees for 2 years and then trade or cut Brees. Fact is Brees is NOT going to play forever and will likely only play another 5 at best. This would save us huge on the cap and if traded Brees could probably net us a 1st or 2nd even at his age from a team looking to win now.
I think the logical thing would be to wait 2 more years before drafting a QB, but you can't be stupid and pass on someone you have valued too highly above all others available just because you have someone there.

That does sound "crazy", but it has happened before and has happened to some of the greatest QBs to ever play the game (Unitas, Montana, Archie and Peyton Manning, Warren Moon,Kenny Stabler, Jim Plunkett...just to name a few).
However, Brees is more than a QB here in New Orleans...he's an icon in a place that doesn't have many icons. He, more so than anyone, brought the spirit of winning and overcoming extreme adversity to the city. Unless he makes some asinine demands, he's here for the duration.
