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

Lance had over 300 atts in college alone, exaggerate much? and in his biggest yr he threw for 28TD and NO Ints. AND he had 1100yds rushing in 2019
This is not a comparison of Ward to Lance it's evidence that trading up for a QB does not work out way more times than it does. You could insert Zach Wilson in in place of Lance or RG3 or any number of QB that were traded up to get and were either busts or had very underwhelming careers and were not worth the trade up
You can say the same about drafting a QB. It fails more often that it hits.

That doesn’t mean you stop trying. It’s the most important position in team sports. If you love a guy, go get him.
