here's an interesting scenario....Sanders falls to us and no one wants to trade with us except the Saints (they don't know no one else wants to move up).  Do we trade with a division rival?  The trade chart value is a late 4th to move up one with us....if they are desperate, they might offer a third, possibly a 2nd this year or next....do we do it?  Or do we decline and let them get him anyway with the next pick?

QB is a crap shoot....he's fallen some on a lot of boards, but he could be their long term starter  

 

I would take a third-if we don't, our bluff gets us nothing.  So we are not helping a division rival by NOT dealing.  Take the third, take Walker or whomever, and laugh when you get to the third round and take their pick

Only thing I'd be worried about is if Walker is sitting there and we trade then they take Walker.  Losing Walker for a third would be hard to swallow, a 2nd i could maybe live with

I only think they do that trade for Sanders if we are talking to other teams at 8. If they were woried about us taking their pick they would try and jump to 7. I have no idea what they want to do if Carr is not dead weighting their roster this year but they have to be looking hard now.

Dart at 9 is ridiculous in my opinion. He was helped immensely by the Kiffen system. Seems like a bunch of the commenters do not expect him to make it past the 1st round though.

I didn't watch many Ole Miss games last year, but he didn't jump out at me when I did.  His highlights show he can be very accurate, but he looks limited.  Walter football has his NFL projection as Gardner Minshew.

I agree and he is certainly not ready to start right out of the gate, but people are talking about Milroe in the first round. That Saints' story is going to make teams that want a qb start to sweat. 

I watched every Ole Miss game this last year and i was never convinced Dart will be a productive starter in the NFL. Minshew might be a good comp.

He reminds me a little of Jake Locker. He does have some physical skills, and a little mobility. Locker I think made it a couple of years. I sort of expect the same from Dart.

Hence why I hope the Saints take him. He is likely a 2nd string QB at his best.

I'd take a 1st swap, 3rd, and next years 2nd for it.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
