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

Did a deep dive on Sheduer Sanders the other day to try to convince myself that he'd be a good pick, but just couldn't get there with him. Saw him compared to Andy Dalton since then and it basically confirmed my thoughts on him. He just doesn't possess the elite traits or positional awareness to be a top tier NFL QB.

Since then I've started to dig deeper on Jaxson Dart. I still don't love the idea of taking him at pick #9. I think we can get a top tier player at that spot such as Jeanty, McMillan, Warren, or an OL. However, I've gotten to the point where I don't mind the idea of taking Dart at pick #40 or trading up (Pick #40 and 2026 draft pick or 2) into the back end of the first round to get him. I like keeping pick #9 to grab more of a "sure thing" type prospect like the players I mentioned above, but to grab Dart after would be a decent option for the Saints. There is enough to like about Dart to think he could potentially develop into a good NFL QB. He's shown noticeable growth in each season as a starting QB for Ole Miss and is still only 21 years old. I think there more room for him to continue to grow as a player vs some of the other top QB's in the draft.

Another thing I notice while watching Dart, was it reminded me how much I like Tre Harris as a prospect at WR. I mentioned months ago that I thought he was one of the best WR prospects in this draft and wouldn't be surprised if he ends up as the best of the bunch in this WR class. If we don't get Tetairoa at pick 9, I'd love to see the Saints leave this draft with Tre Harris if he falls past pick 40.
