re: If Goff or Wentz drops, would you draft one of them as the Saints?

It isn't easy to get a great quarterback via free agency.

In fact, it's down right rare.

This draft is about improving the defense now while the small window of Brees's career can produce at an elite level. To hell with a QB of the future. Besides a G, our first 4 picks should be defense.

Where did we get Drew? Free agency.

More than likely, that's where our next big time QB will come from, not from the draft.

. We arguably had the biggest steal in NFL history getting Drew that offseason. Everyone thought he was damaged goods, and CSP had the balls to bring him along anyways. The rest is history. That type of deal hardly ever happens.

With that being said, please draft fricking defense. CSP's system evidently worked quite well with McCown, who probably set a career high in completion percentage against a stingy Carolina D. Plus we did just draft a QB last season... Offense should be the least of our concerns, regardless of Drew getting old. Shore up our defense and we are in the playoffs easily. Hell, having a good D helps whatever QB starts for us in the future. I'd rather gamble on that than a QB who could potentially bust.

The only way the Saints would take a QB is if it was an overwhelming BPA. I don't think either are "must pick" values at #12. Down into the 20s that might be a consideration. Think Aaron Rodgers who was a tossup with Alex Smith for the #1 overall predraft. Farve was 36 and coming off a solid year with the Pack going 10-6 winning their division. THAT was a "must pick" on valuation at #24.

I will always support strong BPAs even at positions of little need. Deuce and Will Smith were both "must picks" on valuation and positions of low need at the time. It is all in where you draw the valuation line for "must".
