NFL Draft This is not a historically good draft. Don’t be upset if we draft Jaxson Dart high. (2 Viewers)

Why not McCord?

I’m revisiting the Dart possibility after giving up on him earlier. I’m not saying that he’s worth pick 9 or pick 40 even. What I am saying is that the player we would have missed out on will not likely be a huge impact player.

We are the least likely team to even draft a QB that high, historically. So get excited that the team took the chance on a guy they like. Payton started with Brees, Loomis is trying to recreate that with Moore, and bring in a QB to start the Kellen Moore era.

It’s in the numbers. Pick 9 DB wore 9. We only ever drafted a QB from Ole Miss in the common draft.

Dart can sit behind Carr for one season after taking over. He’ll probably play because Carr has been getting hurt every season.

Last year we knew we needed a tackle and we drafted Fuaga, my favorite. The year before we knew we needed D interior and knew if Bresee fell we’d pick him.

The year before that we knew we needed receiver and tackle. Olave was obvious and Penning was, well typical small school Saints pick.

We aren’t hearing much this year. They’re keeping it close to the vest. Only Mel Kiper, surprisingly is taking a guess at Dart. Local media guys are not as in the loop it seems. They don’t sound as certain as years past.

Don’t blow up if Dart is the pick at 9.

Will absolutely blow up if Dart is the pick at 9. We need an impact player and there are options for that at 9. Watched Dart play for years. Not a bad QB but not the 1st round talent QB by any means. QBs from Kifin system put up big numbers in college and fall flat on they face in the pros. He’s not the right pick a 9 or even 40.

What makes you think Dart is going to be the best leader of those 3? I've seen nothing from Dart to indicate that he is a better leader than Sanders or especially Milroe. Milroe's family background makes him a natural leader and Sanders grew up understanding the NFL.

And Dart doesn't have the arm to model him game after Allen.

Milroe a great athlete but not a good QB. Too many issues QB throwing wise. Sanders and Ward two best QBs and only ones worth first round grade.

At #9 there will be quality Edge/WR/TE/CB/RB players available, and we could use help in all of those areas. If we draft a QB, it better be because Moore believes that player is the perfect fit for his system.

I also looked into Dart's GPA. He had 3.71, a GPA that grew as he gotten deeper into his major. It was a 3.5 something a couple years ago. That's about the right GPA for productivity(I know lots of dumb 3.9 or higher students). He's also a community leader as well from what I heard.

Milroe grew up on money. I'm not sure how that's going to translate to being battle tested in the NFL.

None of these QBs are going to be on Allen's level, let alone Joe or Pat. Not until Arch. Those guys grew up in a different environment. These QBs coming out of college now are surrounded by students that have created a rather toxic college environment. And if they got immersed in it, they're going to struggle. One reason why we haven't seen any QB of top 5 caliber since Burrow.

I didn't say otherwise and I didn't suggest drafting Milroe at #9. The only QB I would take at #9 is Ward and he's not going to be there.

Milroe is high risk pick which is why I wouldn't take a shot on him until #40 at the earliest and I'd rather wait until the 3rd.. He needs a lot of work on throwing the ball, but if Moore thinks he can fix that, he has athletic skills that could make him very special. I don't know if he can be fixed, but I'll defer to Moore on that. But, I do think that at worst Milroe will be able to do a lot of the things Taysom Hill can do even if he can't make it as a full time QB. And a weapon like that might be worth pick #40 if Moore has a vision for how he could use him in the offense even if he doesn't make it as a full time QB.

But, it does appear that he has great character and work ethic which is exactly what you are looking for in a QB that needs to be developed. Which is really true of every college QB except for a very rare few.

Milroe has a 3.52 GPA. and grew up in a military family so I don't know what you mean about him growing up with money.

I'm still not seeing why you think Dart has better character or work ethic than Milroe other than he has an okay GPA and you heard he's a community leader.

And I find it odd that you think Arch Manning, who did grow up with a lot of money and run in the debutant circles around Newman, will be good but somehow Milroe won't be good because he came from money? And I'm pretty sure that a military family is not going to have as much money as Cooper Manning.

And what "toxic college environment" are you talking about?
