Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward ; Cam Ward: “It would be a dream of mine to play for the Saints if I get a chance someday”

Yea this could be the only year in the next three that we’re drafting top ten. Like you said, Sanders due to a slide, might be the best available QB for us to draft. The Saints front office needs to deep dive on Shadeur.

I’ve got such mixed feelings about Shedeur. On the one hand, he’s been talked about as a top 5 pick all year, this will hopefully be the highest we’ll be drafting anytime soon, and QB is a definite need, not to mention the star power he'd bring with him (part of me thinks that some of the talk of him sliding is just to get him in range for Dallas). If he were to be available at 9 do you just take him and not overthink it?

On the other hand, I've seen him play a lot of games the last couple of years, and he is a good college quarterback, but I can't say I thought he was "elite." He had a lot of solid games, but not too many when he really wowed me by taking over.

He's got good, but not special, athleticism (like Brees?) and throws a nice, accurate ball (like Brees?) and can throw with touch (also like Brees?). But he also took a lot of sacks (not like Brees), and has a habit of retreating from the rush instead of stepping up (also not like Brees) that will need to get corrected. I also wonder how close he’s already been coached up to his ceiling.
