Paxton Lynch to the Saints?

[Toker Smurf]

I saw him mocked to the Saints (somewhere?) but didn't think much of it. He was just asked on NFLN where he would like to go and his answer was "I think it would be great to go somewhere, where I could learn behind a top NFL QB who has had proven success, somebody like Drew Brees in New Orleans". The reasoning given in the mock was since Sean Payton signed an extension, he needs to prepare for the long term (life after Brees).

Brees in his last year It think, so it would make sense

Somewhere DG is cheering.  The more QBs off the board in the 1st, the better for us.

But if someone like Lynch is still available at #30, that could help us in a trade option with a team with an early 2nd round pick.

It makes sense for them to want a QB, especially one like Lynch who could really benefit by sitting for a year. I thought that was what they were going for last year, though, with Garret Grayson in the 3rd. 

With a team constantly going all-in with their aging QB, trying to catch the Panthers, with a window closing...doesn't make much sense to grab a 3rd round and a Top 10 QB in back to back drafts with so many holes on that team.  But I mean, I totally love the "strategy" there Saints...very Philly-esque of you. 

 

If they want Lynch in the Top 10, they should've been blowing up their cap, convincing Brees to take his massive amount of money to coach 'em up this year, not try signing guys like Josh Norman, and then let Brees leave town with his SB ring in tow. Seems they're trying to rebuild and compete at the same time, while half-assing (at best) both.

Who knows, Denver may be willing to move up to get Lynch, so someone doesn't jump them. If Lynch goes early (like to the Saints), maybe Denver waits. Then maybe someone jumps them for Connor Cook.

A couple months ago, I surmised that Dallas might be the team to jump ahead of Denver, but now I think it might be San Fran.

the overhype these QB get are hilarious! 

 

desprate teams giving up so much to get them, and they arent even that good.. they are just the best of a very poor class..

 

its like paying $30 for a box of ramen, because there is nothing else for miles and thats all thats left in there store.. and desperate hungry people need that ramen..

 

its hilarious.. both teams that traded up gave so much.. and the mother fugers aint that good.  they all seem like a blaine gabbert to me

The hot noise currently is Lynch going in the top ten....... Unreal. I don't agree, but I believe he will go in the top ten.

[Mr. Scot]

I actually think this year's QB class might be like 2011's; i.e. one great QB followed by a lot of suck.

(and frankly, I'm not all that sold on the one great QB being there)

[chknwing]

Saints already have the qb of their future.  Garret Grayson

[OldNorthPowell]

I personally think Paxton Lynch is the best quarterback in this draft by far. He has all the tools to be a great NFL quarterback.

[tiger7_88]

They picked Garrettt Grayson from Colorado State in the 3rd round last year.

QB is a position, however, you always take a better one if he's available.  Passing up improvement at that position is like cutting your own throat in the NFL.

I think Lynch is a pretty darned good QB, but Auburn's bad defense embarrassed him in the Birmingham Bowl last December.  Might have just been an off day.

[Mr. Scot]

Somebody remind me: Who was the quarterback that Zod talked about wanting us to take in the fifth last year?
