If we miss out on Daniels, is there another QB to draft in the 1st?

[boutte]

Which one of them can get the ball out accurately 1.5 seconds and has bones made of granite?

 

[BBarnes]

It’s not like your analogy at all
Or to extend your analogy it’s like seeing a college big hitter (who hasn’t faced a lot of pro ready arms ) and jumping on that while you still need 1st & 3rd basemen - I’m pretending 1st & 3rd are O & D linemen

The problem with the team now is not their drafting approach- it’s that they’ve had too many misses drafting linemen
Carr is clearly not the answer, but he could have been much better this year if Oline had protected and run blocked at beginning of year
And once O got it together, Dline forgets how to play

Here’s my hot take
If our recent draft choices had lived up to their draft position, we’d be set for a deep playoff run even with Carr
And the corollary is that no QB we can draft will help fix the trenches

Sorry man, this team is in desperate need of a solid rookie QB going forward on a rookie deal for 4 or 5 years. It’s how every single team that is a contender right this moment was built along the way, except Detroit.

Not only does it allow them the opportunity for success on the field but it allows them some opportunities to get the cap under control. It’s without a doubt the way they should be prepping and the way any well ran organization would be planning, of course it has to fall your way in the draft as well.

I’m not at all saying we don’t need a QB, I’m saying drafting a QB no matter what because we need one has a much higher failure rate than success
If (the new HC and OC) find their guy available, of course they go get him, but the ‘21 draft class should be more of a cautionary tale and to try to not fill an inside straight

I agree with this 100%. Never draft a QB just because it’s a need. Find a way to go get your guy, or address other needs.

If the QB is not there, just draft play makers and stink it up every year until the right QB falls to the Saints eventually in one of these upcoming drafts.

The Saints will be top 10 in drafts for at-least the next 3-4 seasons, that I am assumung.

I was going to suggest something like this. Look at the 49ers. Now granted, they sorta stumbled upon this by accident, but it’s a copy cat league. They found their playmakers on both sides of the ball and then lucked out with Purdy as Mr Irrelevant. Dont get me wrong, Purdy is good, but when CMC and Deebo was out, they lost 3 straight. That’s no fluke. So many teams want to find the QB first, then they take forever to build around that QB (for the most part).

....but without anyone capable of pass protecting out front whoever we draft is gonna get slammed onto IR by week 4

Carr will start the season as QB1 regardless of who we pick in the draft

 

[jessy]

Draft the best QB that falls to us in the 1st. Then draft Oline and Dline x 4.

Then build the offense around that QB’s skill set.

 

[kennydfresh]

You grab Malik Nabers,Coleman or Brock Bowers in the 1st and grab Jordan Travis in the 2nd if Daniels is unavailable.

Keon Coleman could be a sleeper, he is from Opelousas, LA (best city in LA). This is the same city as Devery Henderson and we know how that turned out.

 

[NWSaint]

Not sure if he'll be there or not, but IF he is, my man has been & will continue to be Bo Nix!
He was absolutely amazing at Oregon..

Polished & ready to go NOW!

If they want to trade up and get Daniels, I am fine with that. But if they stay in teens, where we likely end up, then you do not force the pick. Take position of need, WITHIN the pool of players available for that area . Our need is just as desperate at OL, TE, DE as it is at QB.

 

[NewOrleansFan]

JD5 will be a better Lamar than Lamar. There I said it.

 

[RadsRock]

The best QB in the league today was taken with the last pick in the draft. You can find QBs any round

Yes, this happens. Once every 20 years.

 

[RadsRock]

If we could get Daniels for a swap of 1s, Denver's 2 and next year's 2, I'm for it.

Otherwise hope to grab Nix. We might have some compensatory picks to use to move up in the 2nd.

Bo Nix all day! Matter of fact, i think Nix has the highest floor of all the available QBs in this draft. Nix also has tons of untapped potential as a deep ball passer. That dude just hits who’s open & has the legs to kill teams on the hoof. Bo Nix is a smarter, more accurate version of Dak.
