Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward [Schefter: CLE, NYG or maybe Saints have to make an offer compelling enough for #1 pick]

[rlemieux]

I mean, Underhill reported that they have Ward as the top rated QB and they really like him alot. On the other hand, Underhill says they have a 2nd round grade on Sanders and have Dart rated somewhere behind Sanders. So, to the extent you think Underhill is credible, I think we have pretty solid information that they have Ward graded well above any other QB in this draft.

But, that could obviously change in the next month after private workouts, meetings, etc.

Underhill has exactly zero information on the Saints draft board. I can guarantee that. He might know or hear they like a player or two but knowing who’s first, second or 554th he does not.

It's fun to speculate about this stuff at this time of year, it gives people clicks and talking points, but that's all it is, talk.

We're not getting Cam Ward.

You really shouldn’t talk in absolutes a month before the draft.

It’s silly

We have no idea what the saints will or won’t do

 

[Tulsa Saint]

I’m getting a bit of a kick out of some people speaking in absolutes.

You or I have no clue if the saints will trade up for a QB or not. Especially a month before the draft.

Logically, if the Titans trade out of the #1 spot, it'll be with the team directly behind them, the Cleveland Browns, who also love Cam Ward.

But keep dreaming if you want, that's what the offseason is all about.

I haven’t said anything about dreaming. You’re believing an absolute that has no basis yet.

My original point is that it’s silly for some of you to speak in absolutes a month before the draft and ruling anything out based on YOUR opinion.

The saints are very interested in cam ward(to the extent the highest levels of the saints org was there). Does this mean they make a deal? Certainly not but clearly they are thinking about it.

Who knows what they actually do but nothing would surprise me re: loomis.

Unless you think a QB is good enough to be drafted with the 9 pick, quit wasting picks on QBs you don’t project to be a franchise QB.

All we’re missing is a Swimmer thread about how Coach Pete’s connections are saying that the Saints are in hot pursuit, and Ward is offended that the Titans haven’t publicly declared he’s their guy and has his agents pressuring the Titans to trade the pick, and specifically to trade the pick to the Saints, and because of this the Saints are going to get the pick for less than they would otherwise, and all the talk from the Titans is just bluster because they know they’re gonna have to trade the pick, and hang on because it’s really happening!

Indeed lol.
Hope Swimmer is doing well.

I dont think Underhill knows anything.

Underhill's missed a lot more than he's hit lately. Makes me wonder if most of his sources are all now working for the Broncos.

 

[Hubig]

Liking a guy doesn't mean anything to me. All this talk just proves there is WAY too much time between the combine and draft, the gap is kinda ridiculous.

Did he change his format? I have a routine of podcasts that a will listen to throughout the course of the day/week (PMT, Locked on Saints, All In, etc.), and every now and then I will listen to NOFootball podcast. The last one I listened to was a few weeks ago, but I stumbled on one today and it was only like 15 mins long. Did he recently cut back on the length of his shows?

He's actually doing more than before. There's the M, W, F podcasts that are available to everyone on youtube and he does an hr+ Nickcast on Tues. that's for members
