Potential HC Openings (And Where The Saints Rank)

I think any player drafted can be a player for us, its only the QB that gets treated like a wasted pick by people on here.

It is when you have no history of developing them. Out of the hundreds of QBs drafted over the years, you're talking about a minimal number that became elite past the second round. You have your Dak, Brady, and now Purdy, but those are anomalies. Also, I don't think it's talent as much as the team is committed to your development.
A first or second round represents an investment priority; if you do not get it right, you will do your best to get a return. Hence, the reason we maintain hope for Turner or Dav (before he was released).
This is especially salient when we don't have an offensive staff capable of coaching up an undeveloped rook. Green Bay is great at this, as is San Fran.
