Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward [Schefter: CLE, NYG or maybe Saints have to make an offer compelling enough for #1 pick]

Let’s not forget that we were 99% all in on Watson. I think if they love Ward, they’ll go and get him at whatever the cost. Knowing that they’d have their Qb1 for a decade. However, I’m not sure if the Saints are in “we have to find our QB1 ASAP” mode.
Next year unless someone slides that you like(there's more of a chance of Sanders sliding at this point; Cam will probably be the first quarterback drafted based on current chatter). I do think the plan is to give Carr an honest evaluation this year.
