Report: Saints 1 of 9 teams scheduled to formally meet with Boise St. RB Ashton Jeanty at NFL Combine

St. Widge said

I'm not saying we should, but with this team that's the only position they should consider it for. So, if say they think Ward is going to be great, I would get it. But not for any other position or any other QB in this draft for that matter.

Yes, in principle, and given the current state of the team, only if they think a QB is a potential star, should they trade up. That might happen in 2026. I hate trading up, but if it’s for a superb QB, it might have to be done— especially remembering what happened with Mahomes.

Hope shouldn’t be a strategy. That said, I’d like to see a draft of many players in 2025 and a great QB in 2026, even if trading up is necessitated. That way, the new QB has the surrounding cast he needs to succeed.
