Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward [Schefter: CLE, NYG or maybe Saints have to make an offer compelling enough for #1 pick]

They didn’t go to pick 1 for him. That carries a different level of weight, a different level of compensation.
It still cost the Chiefs a future 1st round pick and another day 2 pick. Going from pick 9 to pick 1 will probably require 1 more high pick, but make no mistake both scenarios are big investments. If Moore thinks Ward is "the guy" at QB, then I'm all for it.
