Where there's smoke there's fire.

That was my original hope. I think he'll be the top QB in this class when all is said and done.

However, since then we lost our LT and we really didn't address the WR in FA like I thought we might.
My gut now says LT and WR in the draft.
But if by some miracle, Ritter is there for us in the 2nd, I don't see how they could pass on him.

I think there is at least one, maybe two or three, QBs in this class that the Saints really like. I don't think it's at the trade into the top 10 or top 5 level like. That would be love. But, I think if one of those guys is there at #16 or #19 they will take him. I think when they traded to get two 1st round picks, the plan was to be able to get two starters that were likely to be at LT and WR. But, I think they felt that they would be good with whoever fell to those spots including some of the QBs, DTs, a Safety, and DEs.

I don't know who that QB is. I don't see a guy outside of Pickett and Willis that I think would be worth the #16 pick, but I'm just a fan and the scouts, Loomis, Ireland and the coaching staff know better than me. The guys I think fit what they want are probably Pickett, Willis, Ridder, and Howell. Maybe Coral too. And, I definitely think they would take a QB in the 2nd if the right one is there. Or even trade up higher in the 2nd to get a QB.
