Jaxson Dart met with Saints before Pro Day ; Saints work out Kyle McCord & Hunter Dekker

I’d love the ability to have Dart sit for a year while we’re contracturally tied to Carr. I’m really tired of this shortsighted “one player away” mentality. You shouldn’t draft a QB for year one returns…that’s stupid. That mentality has prevented us from having a franchise QB at this point. At some point you have to invest and groom a young QB. I’m not a believer in Rattler. And the writing is on the wall for Carr. We have other holes…which is even more reason to invest in a QB now, because there is no player we draft at #9 that’s going to change our fate this year.

I see your point, but at what point are we possibly going to “force” this pick? Let’s be honest, no one had Dart as a 1st rd pick, a top 10 at that, during the season. What I see is, we really like this guy, but feel like he would never make it past the Giants or Browns in rd 2, so we would either have to take him at #9 (which is forcing), or (and this is what I would do), is make a trade back into the 1st, with the Eagles at pick #32. CKM obviously just came over from there, so there should be great dialogue, and they love to trade with us, and their team is already stacked, with the possibility of adding more draft capital to keep their train moving. Plus, we could stick it to Cleveland/NY, and still have Dart on that 1st rd rookie contract. There are a lot of things to like about Dart, but there are also some things to not like about him.
