Quinn Ewers met the Saints at the Combine [Mar 24: Saints host dinner with Quinn Ewers] [April 1: Saints hosting Ewers on Top-30 Visit]

That’s a lot of hoping and not too much of a plan to me.

Carr will be gone next year and do you want to scramble for a QB next year? What happens if you’re drafting 17th and have no hope of a top QB?
Cam Ward is not worth trading all of those picks for. Don't force it. And there's nobody mid round in this draft better than what we have in Rattler IMO. Build the roster by trying to accumulate value by trading down and drafting the best players available regardless of position. That's what I would prefer at least.
