ESPN’s Mel Kiper mocks Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart to Saints at #9
I have to trust Moore and Staley. Whoever they like and what round has to be good enough. Looking back I wish we had traded up a pick for Mahomes, I wish we had taken Lamar either trading up or staying where we were. I wish we had taken Hurts. So ultimately it comes down to what the coaching staff believes or else we have the wrong staff. Personally I think if we got him in the 2nd round or later it would be a good pick just to have a potential starting quarterback. I do however think we have some serious needs on this team especially at wide receiver and cornerback. Having said that Derek Carr is unlikely our long term option at QB and Mel Kiper is correct that we have 2 former 1st overall picks and another 1st rounder in our division so we could use some firepower. I wanted Baker Mayfield over Carr a couple of years ago and got a little panned over it. I liked Nix last year. I do like Dart. While I might prefer him in the 2nd, if Moore loves him at 9 then I would be excited for the pick. At the same time if Staley loves a corner at 9 and Moore backs him then I love that pick to.
