Lets say we do not draft one of the top 5 QB's (Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance, or Jones) in this years draft, which of the later tier QB's would you draft that would have the best chance to beat out what we currently have on the roster of (Grier, Walker, Stevens)?

I'd prefer bringing in a veteran QB as the backup to mentor Sam D, and cut the other guys. If we do decide to draft a QB this year as a project or maybe to compete with Sam I would prefer (1) Davis Mills, (2) Kellen Mond. I wouldn't Midn picking up Jamie Newman for a true project to run the practice Squad.

Ideally if we miss the top prospects, we get a vet backup to help our young QB room.  There's so much value after the first round this year in OL and CBs, I don't want us to spend a pick on another project at QB when we just effectively spent next year's 2nd on one.

Davis Mills would be the one I'd be most willing to give a shot. I think we may have interest in Kellen Mond because Rhule recruited him hard at Baylor. Personally I'm not high at all on Mond. Intriguing physical talent, but he's wildly inconsistent and doesn't play to his talent level even when he's "on" IMO.

I would do go for Newman in the 4th-5th but that's about it.

Mond just bugs me.  He is super reminiscent of Kizer. 

Mills, I don't know.  Just don't know much about him but when I looked into his shtick, it seems he just throws a TON of uncatchable balls.

Newman is the one that interests me.  Before he opted out, people were looking at him making a trajectory to a top pick before we really thought of Jones and Wilson so highly.  Lawrence, Fields, & Lance were always in that discussion with Purdy and Newman really being the guys teams  were thinking could make a leap.

Furthermore, that wake offense, ehh doesn't really allow for skills to shine depending on the position.  For Newman, yeah, I'd take a gander.  We could already have Slater-Leathorwood-Samuel Jr. type situation before we even gamble on a QB.  I'm game for it.

Tbh I’d rather draft a late round kicker then wasting another pick on a 2nd or 3rd day project QB. 
 

spend picks on players with an actual shot to contribute. If Sam isn’t the answer, which is a possibility, continue to build out the roster as a whole and trade up for “The Guy”  in 2022 or 2023, once the roster as a whole is more playoff ready, a la the chiefs pre Patty

      Jonathan Brooks parts of Joe Person Athletic article dec 8

      This is where I'm at. Dowdle is a feel good story and glad he's proving his doubters wrong. I just don't see how we keep our OL intact (which is the right move) and spend on another RB after giving Chuba his money. Though the odds are against him, I do think Brooks can still be our RB2 next year..and if he stays healthy, our longterm RB1. Having the full offseason with no pressure to try and come back like last year will help. I'm also happy to see he and TD have been connecting.  If this team is smart, they go into next year with Chuba/Brooks/ETN and sign a Dowdle-light version in FA at minimum cost. Chuba is in his prime and a full offseason to fully recharge will only benefit him more. Dowdle is unfortunately a luxury item I don't think we can spend our money on. We still have other areas of need that we have to improve on the defensive side of the ball.

      so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      last time they loaded the box, shut down the run and forced BY9 to beat them, we saw the result of that. So what can we do this time to beat them? I suspect it's going to require a lot of short / intermediate passes with TE play to help

      Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. Is was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.
