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”

Good points i pretty much agree with all of them. However, I think what’s exciting about him is his toughness and escapability and overall mobility. I’ve said that he lacks pocket presence, but it’s after the pocket breaks down, that he can still make things happen. And he’s surprisingly accurate on the run. He does retreat backwards, but is it out of fear, or to buy time to drop a 50 yard dime. The Deion element will make him slide some spots. Unless you’re Dallas where they embrace Deoin. Like I said, he’s intriguing enough to do a deep dive. He seems like the typical boom or bust QB. But I don’t think he’ll bust, because Deion will give him all the support he’ll ever need. If he doesn’t bust and he becomes great, we’ll certainly regret it.

I don't really think he's boom or bust. I think he actually has a high floor as a mid-level game manager QB much like Purdy. The one thing that could hurt that is if he can't learn to step up in the pocket and get the ball out before sacks, but both those things seem very coachable.

He hasn't shown to be a guy that can take over games which is why it's hard to see him as a high first round pick because his ceiling doesn't appear to be very high, but I also think he doesn't have a lot of risk. He really seems like a 2nd round guy, but QBs often get taken a round earlier than they should.

BTW, Kiper released a mock draft today in which he has us taking Dart at #9 (Ward and Sanders go top 3). I would not be happy with Dart at #9.
