2022--The Year We Move Up for a QB (1 Viewer)

[RJ in Lafayette]

This is my prediction. In the 2022 draft, the Saints will trade up in the first round to pick a quarterback. And if there is a quarterback Payton really likes, they will pay whatever price they have to pay to move up. My own favorite is Matt Corral of Ole Miss. Other quarterbacks listed as first-round possibilities are Carson Strong of Nevada. Malik Willis of Liberty, Sam Howel of North Carolina, and Spencer Rattler of Oklahoma.

But there are two types of teams in the NFL: Those that have a franchise quarterback and those that don't. The Saints currently fall in the latter category. Come 2022, we will fall in the former category.

I say let Winston play the year out and see how he does, then re evauate. The QB class dont really impress me in 2022. If Winston has a good QBR rating, i say sign him to a 2 year /40 mill contract until we find out next QB.

I like Desmond Ridder of Cincinnati.

qb class next year is really weak

Don't like the idea of betting the farm on a single player who might not see the field at all during that 1st season....doing so means that you're not trying to win it all that season. Unless there's been a rookie somewhere that won a SB at QB that I don't know about.

What I want to see is a continuation...building on whatever we accomplish this season, there's a good number of players on this team who'd probably rather not go through a blow it up phase.

A year late and a dollar short. LOL. That's us. Last year's QB crop was a 9/10. Next year? 5 at best. So yeah, let's aim for the fence next year.

I’m getting flashbacks to the Ricky Williams draft pick.

I think it's too soon to make a judgment on Jameis. Maybe the light will come on in this offense and Sean opens up more offense for him. Besides, we might explore free agent quarterbacks if the draft class is weak at that position.

Not a single QB has even close to Winston potential. Winston has looked good this year so far.

Would like to know who you consider the franchise QBs. I would hope Mathew Stafford is on that list. This is his 13 year in the league but has had a similar till Winston at this Point.
One thing almost every franchise QB has is a good deep ball. Not many QBs have a better deep ball than Winston.
Yes we have not been passing much but this week winston showed what he can do. 1 nice long ball to Calloway and another Deep TD that got taken off the board due to the Holding on trautman.

Everyone thinks Sean doesn't trust Jameis. He may not but no one really knows. He may not trust the banged up o-line or the fact we lack receivers. Think it has more to do with the line. A few times in the patriots we had 7 or 8 guys stay in to block.

What people don't understand yes 30 int is alot but that is 30- 50 bad decisions to fix. If Sean is half the coach we think he is he can fix that.

The guy is just 27 now. If Sean gets him to be the player he wants him to be over the coarse of the season, He could be our qb for years to come. Of course we would have to resign him.

absolutely. 4 games? Come on RJ. We knew this would be a project, you can't throw in the towel after 4 games. We would never amount to anything at all if we judged every player after 4 games.

This. Why move up to take a qb when you already have one? One that your coach is familiar with and went to great lengths to keep him off the waiver wire?

 

[SonOfNOLA]

WR is the biggest need on the team right now. I’d love to see our first two picks used on WRs for a change instead of relying on post-draft FA rookie WRs to turn into serviceable receivers every single year. Drafting another QB to develop with the first pick doesn’t fill the hole at WR and won’t make the current active receivers better. We have a injury-prone superstar WR with no WR1/WR2 level playmakers behind him. WR is stalling the offense and should be the biggest priority next offseason.

So no love for Ian Book?


Doesn't matter... next year, the Saints are getting Russell Wilson!!!!
