Saints Meeting “Extensively” With Hendon Hooker

Saint Spud said

My thing is…if a QB is worth a 3rd round pick, he’s worth the 29th pick.

QB is the one spot where there’s no middle ground. Not with salary. Not with value.

I don’t know if Hooker is or isn’t. Or Tanner McKee or anyone else in that second tier after the top 4 in this draft.

But I’m definitely not gonna complain if we take a QB at 29 if we view him as a potential starter.

I agree totally. The question I do have in general is whether we use that 29th or even the 40th on Hooker (assuming the scouts see him as a potential starter down the road) if we have already signed Carr to a sizeable contract! I am at this point leaning to not being afraid to use that premium pick to further deepen the QB room on the team where Hooker would not be pressured to starting early in his career.
