ESPN’s Mel Kiper mocks Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart to Saints at #9

The last time the Saints had an opportunity to draft that high was 2017. They wanted Mahomes, and were going to to take him but the Chiefs moved up and the rest is history. The was roughly 8 years ago. There's no telling when we'll be picking 9 again, if a QB is there that you love....you take him or move up for him. Nobody remembers how much the Chiefs payed to move up to 8...they just know they currently have Mahomes and are perennial SB contenders.

No price is too large to pay if you think a guy can solidify you for the next 10 years at the most position in football.

Wait I just went back in time to see what the draft gurus said about Mahomes. Check out this gem.

Player Comparison: Derek Carr/Jay Cutler. There are a lot of comparisons for Mahomes. On NFL Network, they consistently compare Mahomes to Cutler because they are both big-armed gunslingers who have decision-making issues.

Others have compared Mahomes to Johnny Manziel, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. I can definitely see the comparison to that trio because Mahomes is like them with the ability to ad lib. All of them would take a play with nothing open, move around, and then make a big throw downfield. They also can throw from a variety of platforms. Like Rodgers and Favre, Mahomes has a big arm.

I have heard some scouts compare Mahomes to Carr, and there are a lot of similarities between the two. They both have powerful arms, mobility, accuracy and toughness. Carr also came from a college spread offense at Fresno State similar to the one that Mahomes ran at Texas Tech. Like Carr, Mahomes also grew up with pro athletes in the family. I could see Mahomes being an NFL quarterback comparable to Carr. So much of whether Mahomes pans out, however, will be determined by the team and coaching staff that drafts him. He also will have to work hard to learn his NFL offense coming from a college gimmick offense that won’t correlate well to the pros. Carr was able to overcome that issue, and the question is if Mahomes has that ability.

I'm going to puke LMAO.
