re: The Saints have met with QB Paxton Lynch 3 times

However, what irks me is why in the f*** did we waste a 3rd pick on Grayson then?

Now this, this is a different story. I was never an advocate of a QB last year as I felt it was too early. I do agree it is and will be a wasted pick.

it will be fun thinking of the early draft picks we could have had watching Grayson and Lynch with their clipboards....as Brees continues to ball and our defense continues to suck.

Oh yeah, cause the defense is such an easy fix. Fact is this isn't a one year fix. No defensive player we take in the 1st is going to transform this defense from worst of all time to competent, at least in the time frame Drew has left. Also, say we take a QB at 12. Why can't we take defense at other picks? You're making it seem like the 1st round is the only round that matters. There are solid defensive players we can get in the 2+ round range.

We can draft our future QB with a first round pick when it's time for Brees to retire

Again, waiting until you HAVE to is a risky play. Sure it might work out, but a majority of the time you wind up with a bad situation where you're forcing players who aren't ready to start and stunts their potential and development. Then you're stuck in QB limbo. Or year after year with a top 10 pick you're hoping you can get "that guy". Is that really what you want? If Payton feels drafting Lynch (OR Wentz) now gives us the best shot to stay competitive post-Brees, I can't really argue with that.
