Kyle Trask Pro Day

If the Saints view Trask as a potential franchise guy like I do, the first round pick makes a lot of sense. 1) you secure picking your guy for the most important position in football, and 2) using first round gives us 5th year option.
QB will stay the top need, imo, until we know we have our guy long term.

Every year during the draft they talk about how you want to get that 5th year option with a quarterback. I'm starting to think you don't. Nobody ever uses it. If the QB is good teams are extending them after 3 years. If they aren't good they aren't exercising the 5th year option.
