Daniel Jeremiah - “Everyone is moving up for an OT” (2 Viewers)

[St. Widge]

Yep. If we have a QB identified as a must have, do whatever you have to do to get him (within reason of course), and worry about the consequences later.

If, for instance, they love McCarthy and he falls to #8 to #10, I'd have no problem doing what it takes to get him, even if it means not getting a starting OT this year. A franchise QB changes everything.

Wonder what McGinn had to ay about OTs?

 

[texasjefe]

Smartest man in the league many years ago

It's been 7 years since he drafted us a bona fide league-recognized star.

If you need to suppress your ego and pick a lineman, just do it. No mediocre wheeling-dealing this time please.

 

[Saintscuffy]

I just dont think we take an OT unless one drops to us

 

[tim martin]

somebody big will be dropping and available at 14

not necessarily. we need 1-2 questionable picks to guarantee us that.

count on the Raiders for one of them.

So, now, instead of taking a tackle at #14, Loomis will give up assets to move up to take the same player he could have selected at #14. BRILLIANT!

just like what happened with olave. they traded with the eagles thinking we would get a top 4 wr there then we were forced to move up to get one. cost us another pick

Even if he’s running for his life or flat on his back like Carr? If he can’t stay upright I don’t see how all the youth and athleticism helps him succeed. Not digging your response, just asking

More or less, yes. I do think if you do that you go out and sign Peat and/or Becton to at least have serviceable OTs, but yes almost anything is worth it for a franchise QB. And, maybe you put Carr out there to get killed this year and give the rookie time to sit and learn while not getting hit and put Haener in if Carr gets killed. A franchise QB is about the next 10 to 15 years, not this year and maybe not even next year.

They are playing Carr this year at QB no matter who they draft, you can bank that 100%. Daniels could fall in range and we are still starting Carr this year.

Howie Roseman, getting ready for the Saints draft.

I didn't and don't disagree. I'd bet that Carr would beat out any rookie QB. But that doesn't mean you don't take a shot at a franchise QB if you think one is in your range this year. You never know when you get another chance to get one.

 

[Kegger]

I agree. Maybe you can get an OT at the top of the 2nd but there is no guarantee. Especially with news that a lot of teams are looking to trade up for OTs.

Yeah, feels like OT could be pretty picked over by #45
