Pickett at 16?

I'd be upset. We have Jameis for 2 years and to reach on a guy with question marks could simply mean that you spent a 1st on a QB and in 2 years you may still need one and be spending a 1st or more again. Either that or sign an expensive FA.

It makes more sense to me to roll with Winston for this year, draft a LT and WR this year, and if Jameis plays poorly then draft someone next year and your rookie has good receivers and a LT to keep him clean in his first season. No rookie will play for us this year so why trot Jameis out there without 1st round talent at LT or WR so some kid who may not even be good can sit on the sidelines.

Also, 2 years from now players like CAM & DD will be older and maybe you can roll with a rookie in a rebuild kind of scenario. But I don't want to waste their last good years developing a QB. If the Saints wanted to do that I don't think we would have signed Jameis in the first place.
