Well, Let's get Ben Johnson as HC and a QB with a top 2 pick in the Draft (9 Viewers)

I’d rather have Travis Hunter, Tmac, or the best offensive lineman over a QB if we pick in the top 5. I’m not ready to give up on Haener and Rattler just yet. They’ve just been put in an impossible situation.

I understand the thought, and yet History is not kind to QB's selected outside of the 1st round. We have 2 on the roster taken in the 4th and 5th respectively. The Tom Brady's, Brock Purdy's and Russell Wilson's are rare. The best QB's typically have 1st round pedigree

There are a lot of first round misses too though. I’d rather draft a less volatile position(WR/OT) and see a full year of Haener/Rattler before rolling the dice again.

You're right, there's tons of 1st round misses, but there are still more 1st round hits than there are guys taken after that. So again, your best odds are to select an early round talent. I understand your thought, don't disagree w/ it - I've just seen enough. Neither are talented enough to carry a team, and if were going to get back to perennial winning we need someone w/ the talent and or potential to be that.

Rattler MIGHT have it, and I do agree he has more seasoning, but you should keep going after the QB position until you get a hit. Adding another one wont hurt.
 
Really really don’t like this years QBs, draft a cornerstone oline or dline piece like Campbell at left tackle or WR McMillan from Arizona or DT Mason Graham from Michigan or defensive end James Pearce Tennessee

I really like McMillan. He's everything missing from this offense. He strikes me as a potential Michael Thomas, the kind of receiver that makes bad QBs look good because no pass is a bad pass if he's the target.
 
The highest percentage of drafting a starter in the NFL draft comes from the first three rounds.

The Saints legendary 2017 draft class:
1st Round - Marshon Lattimore
1st Round - Ryan Ramcyzk
2nd Round - Marcus Williams
3rd Round - Alvin Kamara
3rd Round - Alex Anzalone
3rd Round - Trey Hendrickson
6th Round - Al-Quadin Muhammad

Notice a theme there? Coincidentally the 2017 draft class was the last time the Saints had more than three picks in the first three rounds, and since 2017 the Saints average 2.4 picks in the first three rounds per draft. Meaning they're trading away picks with the highest percentage of becoming a starter more than they're acquiring them.
It almost was MaHommes had Reid not pulled the great steal
 
We aren't even coming close to the playoffs. Even if somehow we win 6 of the last 9 games, that only puts us at 8 and 9. We'd likely have to win 8 of the last 9 to even have a shot at the playoffs. That's not happening.

We need to keep DA for the remainder of the season because he stinks and that'll almost guarantee a higher draft pick. We then need to hire Ben Johnson and, assuming we only win 1 or 2 more games this season (or none), we'll have a top-2 pick in the draft. Draft Shedeur Sanders or Quin Ewers - both are elite, special QBs. Let's start from scratch on offense.

Just my hopeful opinion halfway through this embarrassing season.
If the Saints were to draft or even show interest in Sanders the league would have another ELI/Chargers situation. (Deon has a history of hating all things Saints)
