But if you're planning on keeping Griffin, why in the hell do you waste a 3rd rd pick on another young QB, when there are plenty of holes on this team?
Because quarterback develop just like any other position, is crap shoot. Iron sharps iron. The more talent, you have on the roster at the position, the better the chances are you will have a quality starter post Brees by making them compete against each other.
Stop looking at the Grayson pick as waste. Even if he doesn't pan out down the road, so team will give us a pick for him in return just because of where he was drafted & him learning under Payton. It may not be a 3rd rounder but it could be a 4th or 5th if he continues to look decent in preseason.
The same scenario can be said about Griffin. Just last season, the Rams tried to claim him off the practice squad yet he chose to stick with the Saints. There will be interest from other teams if he continues to play well.
Payton has openly expressed that he follows closely what the Patriots do in terms of their roster. Look at the Mallett & Garoppolo picks for them. Mallett didn't pan out yet the Pats were able to get a pick in return from a QB hungry Texans team. It's still early on with Garoppolo but we'll see what he's made of once the season begins.
In the end, there will be some tough decisions to made at the position once preseason ends. I'm glad I'm not the one having to make it.
