Quinn Ewers had a meeting with the Saints at the Combine

That's all true, but at the same point, there may be no better fix for a team's salary cap and number of wins than hitting on a mid-round QB. The cost is relatively low, but the upside is immeasurable. I do think they need to spend a high pick on a QB soon, but until they do, they need to keep pulling mid-round lottery tickets on QBs and hoping that they hit.
I’m like, 85% of the way with you on this… the missing 15 really is that, unlike every other position, QB is where one guy gets all the reps. If the vision isn’t “this guy is QB1 as soon as we can move on” then I’d focus building the rest of the team in positions where there’s a more viable pathway to a starting role, even if it’s something like a tackle sliding inside to guard, a 4-3 DE standing up to play OLB, a WR bulking up to play TE, that sort of thing.
