I'd criticize the pick, but then we have to remember exactly how many QBs the Saints have taken in the 1st round the last 43 years or so: one. I can't fault the Falcons for pulling the trigger on a possible franchise QB. When you get that chance you take it, because without that franchise QB you are just mediocre anyways.
In the NFL there are only two types of front office: those who are looking ahead and those playing catchup. Which do you think the Saints fall into right now? And which the Falcons? I don't like them, but it takes balls to make this pick, and I wish we had more of that and less of DA. If it doesn't work out for them GREAT. If it does? Uh-oh.
