Unfortunately, I think you're right. Except that I think Pickett is the QB of the draft. If the Saints think that too and are willing to make those moves to get him then maybe I'm not wrong. 

You never really know about team's values or QBs in the draft but that is a lot of movement for this rookie class. 

I just don't see it from Picket.

You made a comment about taking Howell versus the field, which is a ridiculous suckers bet anyway. 

But, I was prepared to have a defined and agreed upon set of criteria to evaluate against. 

Those odds are insanely stacked in my favor though.

Yeah, if I'm banking on a legit QB out of this class, I'd take Howell over the field.

It's an insane bet because you don't know where a guy is going to land. I mean, Howell could get drafted into some terrible situation to some poo franchise with a losing overall record and a brand new super genius hedge fund owner who has proven to be a moron in the NFL and coached by some hack of a mid-level college coach with full say over football matters and an OC who couldn't get any other NFL job after being fired as a head coach... oh wait...

This is all 4D chess by the Saints to make our front office panic and give up 3 1sts to move up to 1 or 2. Sad part is, we're desperate enough to do it. Saints won't trade up and will laugh at us being so desperate we gave up a ransom for the guy we could have gotten at 6 anyway.

Betting on the outcome of draft picks is dumb. Betting on the outcome of a draft prospect's career is even dumber.

Sorry, but them's facts 

Where do you truly believe Howell gets picked? The number, i will not use it like I have with my Allen and Herbert comments.

For me Howell is hardest player to pick for, just curious.

Ultimately, I think he goes to the Steelers at #20.

Yeah, I don't believe in that idea. Great players are going to be great because they want to be great and work to be great. No one puts that in them.

That's why great players are still great on shitty teams and shitty players are shitty no matter where they go.

If you make it to the NFL and you need the perfect situation around you to be successful, then you probably just aren't that good.

This is what Fitts should have been trying to do instead of get fuging Sam Darnold.

The Saints and Falcons might both be looking to move in front of us.  Probably for Willis

I think theres a decent chance thats hes still staring at his phones until day 3, agains his draft spot is the hardest for me to pinpoint. I do think Pitt will past on him with their 1st, but if hes still there form their 2nd......

I think that too. But you'd still be dunking on me that Howell sucks if he was playing decently for a bad team. I mean hell, most of the Huddle already thinks that about him because UNC sucked while he was basically playing like MVP Cam for them.
