Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward [Schefter: “Its up to CLE, NYG, or maybe Saints to make compelling offer to move Titans off #1 pick”]

AFR take on it, with a good example of the Panthers going from 9 to 1 couple of years ago for Young.

They gave up two first round picks, two second round picks, and a starting wide receiver. That would be a lot to give up for a team that needs young talent across the board.

They met Ewers today also

Turns out he had a torn oblique last year and played through it.

Ewwwww……Ers

Swap firsts, trade Carr to TN, and give them whatever else they need to make the trade work

Some chipotle gift cards?

 

[IlovemySaints]

no thanks, there's no franchise QB in this draft

How do people come to absolute conclusions like this without seeing these guys play ? (In the NFL)

You have to also consider that KM could finally be the coach that unlocks Dc4.

12 years he need to unlock his self

Not a huge MM fan but he made some pretty good points in this video.

Matt Stafford was locked along time too

I wouldn’t necessarily say give them whatever else they want and I’m not sure TN has had any desire to trade back especially for a veteran QB past his prime. If they could pull that off with a swap, trade of DC, and give us their 2025 3rd for our 2026 2nd round pick I’d be down. Plus a Pre June 1st trade kills us with dead money. Post June 1st trade more realistic.

I think most of that is right. But I don't really see Carr as a pocket passer or a bootleg guy. He's okay at both, but his super power is the play action passing game and particularly the deep ball off of it. If you sit him in the pocket as a drop back passer all too often he ends up holding the ball too long and then throwing it away because he lacks the pocket mobility to buy time for off schedule throws. I think he's best used when you limit his options, limit the time he has to think, and just make him throw quick off of play action. That's what KK did with him in the first two games and it worked well. It seemed to not work well when he tried to get Carr to sit in the pocket.

Which is going to be interesting because Moore likes to vary tempo on offense and Carr seems a difficult fit for that kind of offense. That said, Moore is the type that will adjust to the players he has so we will likely see less tempo than Moore would like.

He doesn’t think the game

Matt Stafford was locked along time too

not in my opinion

The most impressive thing about this tweet is that he name dropped Colston. Everyone knows Brees of course. Most football fans born after 2001 would not know who Colston is because he was so underrated here. He's a true fan of the game. Here's a kid that was 7 years old when the Saints won the Superbowl. I think it's football 24/7 for this guy not because of the money but because he actually lives it.

@AdamWest is plugged in.
Something to watch leading up to the draft.

Cam is different.

I’d bet my mortgage on him being a top 8-ish QB within the next 3-5 years.

I’d love to see it.

I do think, unfortunately, Tennessee seems to be zeroing in on him. I kinda figured teams would fall in love with him during the draft process and he’d end up going 1st to someone.

This might be as close as we get to drafting a high profile QB prospect. @9 we would give up some draft capital to move up but if you land a top future QB u do it. I can live with not having a 1st rounder for a couple years and some other picks if it means we got a franchise QB. Plenty of talent in rounds 2-7 to get by. We need a star qb
