Mike D. opinion: "Next Saints qb is not on roster yet."

There’s legit talent at the top of the draft w/Lawrence, Wilson, Lance & maybe Fields. But after that, those dudes are all wildly suspect. I like Trask, Ehlinger, Book & Newman, but all those dudes are high ceiling prospects who arent ready to take the helm in year 1. Mac Jones is a hot name, but that dude just doesnt excite me at all. Yes, he’s got great stats & has a high floor coming in, but cant help but see an Andy Dalton-type who seems more like a game manager in the pros, rather than a guy who can put his team on his shoulders & gut out a win. So far, life on the football field has been cake & ice cream for Mac Jones. Just wondering how he’ll respond to the meat grinder that is the NFL.

In my opinion, our QB of the future is not currently on the roster, nor in this draft class. I think we’ll pro resign Jameis as a stop gap & our future franchise QB gets drafted sometime over the next year or 2. Sam Howell NC, Kedon Slovis USC, Brock Purdy Iowa St & DJ Uiagalelei Clemson ate all coming out over the next few years. Those dudes would be perfect fits in Sean Payton’s O. I can foresee us aggressively perusing one of those dudes once theyre available in the draft. DJ Uiagalelei, in particular, looks like the next Clemson super QB. Love what this kid did over the shortened season. Cant wait to see what he looks like next year. Uiagalelei has all the tools & more to be potentially be an instant franchise QB. But the dude who’s on top of my wishlist is Sam freaking Howell from NC. That dude is so much fun to watch.
