If we trade the #1 away, it'll be for a king's ransom and would also mean we were traded a promising QB or had one rated almost as highly as Luck.

We really win out either way, provided Luck declares.

No Luck, no trade and we're reaching at #1. That worries me a lot more.

Remember how Hurney wanted to trade a 1st and I believe that 2nd, if not the '11 3rd for the Saints' #32 overall pick in '10 to draft Clausen.

The real question is why trade a 1st for the 32nd pick? If you don't win the Super Bowl the next year, the pick you give up is better than what you get in return.

If that happened, Saints would be in the playoffs, and having the #1 overall pick in the draft, while we wouldn't be picking until our supplementary pick in the 3rd round.

If Luck doesn't come out then we might very well trade down assuming we can. Honestly I think that Newton would be a fine choice particularly if we got an offensive minded coach with a history of developing quarterbacks. And guys like Mallett and Locker would be potetial number 1 picks if Luck weren't the topic of everyone's discussion.

I am looking forward to the combine and ongoing drafting sources to give us more of an update on these quarterbacks as we go. Of course by then we will know who our new coach will be.

In order of who I want us to draft, if Luck stays in school;

Newton

Fairley

Peterson

Green

T.J. Yates Someone on here suggested this. Seriously.

Mine is a little different:

Green (BPA to boot)

Newton

Peterson

Fairley

I don't like any of them at #1 though.

If we had traded the first pick in this April's draft, this would be bizzaro-huddle, with every thread crying to the world that it just makes sense for Luck to go back to school and get a degree. With everyone else tattooing "HATE HRNY" across their knuckles and muttering about Dwayne Jarret, Eric Shelton, and "the reckoning to come." In short, it would be awesome.

Not bad but we have wide receivers. We don't have a DT or a QB. Fairley and Newton should be the main choices, because no one's gonna trade up. We've been through growing pains w/WRs, now we have 3 who can play.

Is Derek Landri a player? Maybe. None of the others are.

I say Green just from a BPA standpoint. For straight need QB and DT would be 1a/1b.

I'm really not that thrilled by any of the DTs though, especially not picking that high.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
