Saints Now that Jameis is back on a 2 year deal… Malik Willis is the play! (1 Viewer)

[Saint Taysom]

Willis has the most upside of any of the QBs in this class, but it is largely believed he will need a couple years of seasoning before he’s ready…
Well… Jameis Winston can take the wheel for the next couple of years. If Jameis thrives and realizes him immense potential, then Willis becomes a big trade piece. If not, Willis takes over after learning the pro game and the offense. Listening to the pre-draft interviews with Malik Willis, I love the makeup of this kid. He’s humble, but confident… and he feels like a leader.

I like the kid, but I think we need guys who can help us this year.

no get a tackle and wr in 1 and 2. then a rb and safety in round 3

Willis has the most upside but the lowest floor. PFF gives him a 3 out of 10 on accuracy, 3 for pocket presence, and a 4 for decision making. He has a long way to go to develop into a starter. Hopefully we take hard looks at corral, pickett, or howell, if we're drafting a QB.

I really doubt Willis makes it past CAR, ATL, SEA, and HOU

I think we use this year to fill more holes. Not sure any QB is worth taking in the 1st rd this year. The ones that are will be gone surely. We need help at WR and OL for sure. We need a starting WR something bad. Gotta hit on that position this year.

I could see us taking a QB in the 2nd or 3rd if some fall.

No. Because I don't want endless memes of "What you talking about, Willis"? saturated in this forum.

Saints will go QB early only if they trade down.

I wouldn't use a first on a QB, but if Willis, Ridder, or Coral fall to the second, I would take one of them.

I'm just glad we aren't going to trade up to get Pickett. I think he's a solid player, but he is going to be drafted way too high by somebody.

That doesn't say much. Once upon a time, Geno Smith had the most upside of any QB in a class.

I agree. This should be our focus this year.

Get a QB next year if Jameis doesn't work out.

 

[BELOWSEALEVEL]

Draft mulriple wrs. Stop ignoring the position we ultimately suck at.
The only position that would trump a round 1 wr is a starting LT to replace armstead.

 

[dboysaints]

no thanks to willis

 

[BBarnes]

Heck no.

He’s a few years away (if ever) and we have too many other holes
