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

Spot on. Historically it has not worked.

That will make it all the more incredible when we pull the trade off and Ward leads us to multiple Super Bowls.
LOL the thing is that as fans we can say " What the heck , go for it " It's not our careers on the line if it's a catastrophe. We don't get fired for taking this HUGE gamble. If it blows up in Loomis and CKM and Ireland's faces they may never get the job they want in the league again.
