We heard earlier this morning that the Saints were working the phones to try to move into the top 10 of the draft. New Orleans has been widely rumored to be targeting a cornerback, but they could make a big splash under center if something falls into their lap.
While the move up would be for another position, “there is 1 QB” who “would change their minds if he was still available,” Dianna Russini of ESPN.com tweets. That’s not going to be welcome news to Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill, both of whom are hoping to be the Saints’ new quarterback of the future.
Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson are guaranteed to be off the board before the Saints can pick, so it’d have to be one of Mac Jones, Justin Fields, or Trey Lance that they’re interested in. Assuming the 49ers take Jones, it’d have to be either Fields or Lance.
As for potential trade partners, the Lions would make a lot of sense at seven. As a rebuilding team, they fit the profile of a club that would be willing to stockpile future valuable picks. No matter what, it sounds like the Saints aren’t dead-set on taking a corner after all.
Mac Jones would be a perfect fit for what the Saints like to do.
Hoping for Jones or fields, either would be an upgrade over winston.
If they do take a corner I’d hope they take trask in second
Winston > Mac Jones every day of the week
Wait what? This has to be whisper down the lane. Someone confused cornerback and quarterback.
So the fake 140M extension for Hill isn’t going to deter them?
it would cost teams an WR1/2 And a 2nd for Detroit
I don’t think it’s smart for them to do this. But, what do I know.
It’s definitely not a smart move, if true. Payton thinks he’s so damn savvy because he has had two really good drafts. He doesn’t seem to remember the rest of the years, which have largely been real, real bad.
If it were Fields or Lance, I’d be OK with it. Mac Jones is just a wet fart.
Can’t fool us Sean Payton. Kellen Mond is your guy!
Speculating on the name of that one QB is odd because it’s very possible said quarterback is Lawrence and they’re just trying to send a smoke screen. Seems like a pointless task to try to figure out which QB they would move up for out of the bunch. Plus it just won’t happen.
I’m totally amazed the lack of talk on Trask… love to see my WFT go there
Not a first round talent. I too think trask is a stud that could be had in round 2/3
There is so much bs flying around right now. I don’t believe 90% of it.
I don’t believe you…
110% of all statistics are faked, 8 out of 6 people know this.
Assuming the 9ers take Penny Sewel at 3 the Saints can prob grab any of the three QBs at 4
