Saints haven't drafted a QB in the first round in the last 50 years

I’ve already braced myself for Oline - I think that’s the most bankable value
So far it seems like Ruiz is our only big miss drafting Oline (I’d entertain arguments for Peat as well, but it’s a much more nuanced discussion)
My hesitation with WR is that SP is still figuring out offense identity- drafting WR at mid round 1 seems to put cart before horse (esp w MT returning please please)

I’m fully expecting a very disappointing draft pick. We haven’t been good at drafting in the first round…we got Lattimore and Ramczyk. What else have we done this decade in the first round?

I don’t think that WR is just the Saints biggest need. I think it’s the Saints biggest two needs. There is no offensive scheme in the league that is successful with this WR Corp. And the need is going to meet value…as there at at least 3 blue chip receivers…and at least 6 with first round grades. I honestly think you draft a WR in the first and second round. The thought of passing up a top WR for another OL is disheartening to say the least. The Saints QB can have all day to throw…there is no separation. They could have a year to throw and I doubt it’d make a big difference. You have to have receivers that separate…and do it immediately. No amount of OL help is going to change that.
