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

I hate to think that the "Brees-era" is over as well, it sucks honestly as Aug said he's one of my favorite players of all time. And everything you said is fair. I just tend to lean the other way No way to know who's right as we're talking about distant future events.

However I will say we're in a special situation. One of our biggest needs on defense is arguably the deepest position in this draft, and one of the deepest that specific position has been in years (DT). Also Lynch is a prospect with all the physical tools, but has widely been regarded as a guy who needs to be eased in to reach his full potential, which is high (which we have the ability to provide).

If we were take Lynch as Brees' heir apparent, and a very good DT in round 2. Follow that with an OG or S in 3+ range, I would consider that a very solid draft and could understand it.
