Rebuilding strategy, forty-niners or saints?

I would too. By trading up for Ward it would show that its a KM's staff decision and a decision that KM would risk his career against. Also the move would follow the normal procedure when you change staffs. The new coach normally gets his own ride or die QB. I also like the player in Ward. He's got the "it" factor. He's similar to Shadeur in ability, but Ward seems to have a better grip on how long to extend a play. Or know when a play is over, compared to Shadeur. Id be happy with either. But especially happy if one of them falls to us at 9 and the staff literally selects him within 10 seconds of their time allotted. When i look at the rest of the Qbs in the draft there is only 2 that have abilities that Rattler doesn't have, and thats elite escape ability. With that said, i wouldn't be upset with Tyler Shaugh as he's similar to Rattler but has the elite height you want at QB. I hope we find a way to come out of this draft with one of them

FWIW, Underhill talked to several NFL scouts who said Rattler would be behind Dart if he was in this draft. Some had Rattler 4th and some had him behind either the Louisville QB and somebody else that I can't recall. So it sounds like Rattler would be around QB #4 or #5 if he was in this draft.

He also said that the Saints "love" Ward.
