I knew that he would be picked up pretty quick (as he was) but I didn't think he would be going to Denver because I believed that them releasing Russ meant that they were going to try and go young through the draft. Honestly, that was probably still the plan but film, combine, etc probably threw a wrench into all of that. These teams are playing serious hardball with the early picks and the question has to be asked; is he willing to risk the future for a right now pick? I mean, the fact that this move was made a month after free agency and right before the draft should be a tell-tale sign....but who knows.
I don't think people really cared for it as much as we believe that they did. If Watson mess around and get hurt and Winston takes meaningful snaps with that coach in that offensive scheme, he probably has a better chance than most to go for a starting job in 2025. It torched the little weed of a chance to do anything in New Orleans but league wide, more than likely not.
