I think Mel has been smoking those pumpkin pies

Good thing Mel Kiper is widely considered to be the worst draft "guru" out there.

A QB often jumps in the top 10 between the combine and draft day. We'll see. Would not be a shocker.

EDIT: That said, March mocks after the first few picks are almost always wrong.

I think we’ll all be surprised. Like Lmost every draft

Just say No

Would be a heck of a lot better than trading up to 1 for Ward or taking Sanders who isn’t worth a top 20 pick.

He was originally slated to be a 4th-6th round pick, but Dart quickly shot up the boards after his bowl game. It looks like he will be a 1st round pick and he hasn’t come close to his ceiling yet.

Although I hope we do not go QB at all in the first

The last time the Saints had an opportunity to draft that high was 2017. They wanted Mahomes, and were going to to take him but the Chiefs moved up and the rest is history. The was roughly 8 years ago. There's no telling when we'll be picking 9 again, if a QB is there that you love....you take him or move up for him. Nobody remembers how much the Chiefs payed to move up to 8...they just know they currently have Mahomes and are perennial SB contenders.

No price is too large to pay if you think a guy can solidify you for the next 10 years at the most position in football.

No ,this ain't it .
We're not picking a damn QB at #9.
Horrendous idea

I'd pay the cost for Ward or take Sanders in the top 10 long before I would take Dart at #9 and I don't want to do either of those things either. Always beware of the late riser QBs. He's got Mitchell Trubisky written all over him.

I’m highly convinced that if there any other QB, not named Sheduer Sanders, who threw for 4100K yards, 74% completion, and 37 TDs vs 10 INTs, then everyone would want to sell the farm for him. Look, I’ll admit that his attitude/bravado is off putting to a lot of people, but to say he’s not worth a top 20 pick is ridiculous. Give me a guy with his level of confidence, along with his accuracy, and pocket presence

 

[soggymoss84]

Not at 9, maybe trade up to the end of the 1st, but earliest I would take him.

I do see Dart going top 10 though, just not to us.

 

[Tulsa Saint]

The saints have had no known interest in Dart.

This is silly to me.
