I like Dart. It wasn't till super early January (1st week) I considered him a 1st round pick and thought he may sneak into the top 10.
If Jeanty is on the table, I still think he's our play first and foremost. Likely requiring a trade up. But if a deal doesn't get worked and sit @9 and Dart is still there, I agree, I think its a real possibility.
The only reason I give pause to any QB in this draft is because even Ward, the presumed 1st overall pick, and supposed "best" QB in this draft likely wouldn't be QB3 off the board is most other drafts. Throw in Nuss's son, Garrett, being in next years draft and we likely have Carr for 2 years, It becomes a real play. Though, planning for such a thing feels reckless since there's no guarantee the saints will be able to get him no matter how bad they may want him (or, may not want him).
But Dart is a leader first and foremost. Second, he has no problems wanting the game put on his arm and legs. He's done it many times. He's also a smart player. Kentucky was a monster of a defense this year, and when he played against them he kept his head on a swivel and made smart plays very often. He didn't put up monster numbers (pretty much no QB does). But if you want to watch a game where your offense is getting dominated and the QB has to play very smart under constant pressure, that's the game to watch.
