The fact that the Saints have waited so long and done nothing at WR (outside of Kirk Merritt) makes this a viable take.
If they really believe in Winston, then… at this point… WR is the first 1st round pick.
If they REALLY believe in a QB… then they likely trade back into the 1st round, and draft that guy.
The 5th year option on a 1st round pick is just too important to pass up.
