Edwards at 3 will be super disappointing.  I expect he will follow a similar career trajectory as PJ Hairston.

He has wayyy more natural talent, even if he isn't 100% committed to the game or is an idiot I think he could still become a very solid 2nd or 3rd star on a team. I would stay away from him because of those concerns but if we did take him there would still be plenty of reasons to be very excited. 

 

I'm starting to come around a bit more on Ball. I badly wanted to stay away from him for a while and gradually became more open to it. Now, I'm kinda thinking it would be the best pick. He definitely has legit superstar potential and may be worth taking a shot on to help bring this franchise to relevancy.

    • I see that perspective, but there are some glaring differences.  At that time, the QB in Green Bay was entrenched  or proven and Love was the 26th pick of the first round--not the 8th.  Picking him at 8 was a reach, and people in Green Bay thought picking love at 26 was a bit of a reach (I recall many wondering if he would be a first or second rounder).  Cousins is new--has not even met his teammates.  This will impact the locker room differently.  Since the fans are not that attached to familiar as the Cheeseheads were to Rodgers, Cousins will have a bad game and the controversy will begin.  For that reason, I am not sure they did anything but use a first round pick to weaponize their fan base against the QB they just paid $100m in guaranteed money.  That did not happen in Green Bay--it will happen in Atlanta.  Popcorn is out.
    • Arod wasn't new to the team, nor did he sign 180milion deal with 100 million guarantees. Plus love was a 26th pick, not 8th overall. BTW cousins has a no-trade clause as well.... I think it made arod win the MVP too....which in itself worth the pick... The main point of drafting a rookie is for them to play on that cheap contract. At min penix will play two years from now, thus washing out the good part of his contract. Only way this works if cousins gets re-injured or busts. He will be 26-27 and need another contract by then.  No matter what the saints do, Each cap dollars do matter. It's an awful awful deal no matter the out come. Glad panthers will benefit!!
