I was talking about every other position people want to try and plug holes. As of this moment most if not all of the players people mentioned they wanted instead are still on the board…

Right. Because there are so many starters still on the board in the 5th.

why even bother picking 5ths?

You try and get many rolls of dice that might hit, but remember how many great saints have come from this sort of range. Colston, Jahri, nicks etc. this is just setting picks on fire

Wasted pick...You have a 6 foot 7 receiver that is 243 lbs and runs a 4.52 40 from Fla. State on the board and you pick Spencer Rattler.... Geez

Saints are not the only team who has passed on him to this point. There is usually a good reason why some players are available in the 5th round.

I’m an FSU fan and Johnny Wilson is really bad. I would have taken numerous Seminoles at that pick before him. But Rattler is bad indeed

Honest question, why did he fell at 5th if he was projected a 1st (by some)?

I wasn't high on him but 5th isn't to early. Interesting pick def not a waste. Draft has been a good one so far lets keep the ball rolling.

 

[MikeyF]

He does have a better arm and a better throwing motion than Haener.

Back to back 5th round QBs?

Didn't we just draft Haener?

Coaches must really hate the sheet outta that guy

 

[faceman]

I was referring to Wilson the Fla. St. Wr.

 

[No2DC]

Don't know enough to comment but QBs take after 2nd are throwaways, except the anomalies like Brady

And one of those rolls is a former 5 Star QB with a lot of talent that needs to be developed. It's not like we don't have a need at backup QB and we don't have a franchise QB. Plus, we still have 3 more rolls of the dice and most of the guys who fit what we fans wanted at 150 are likely still there at 170.

And no roll of the dice hitting would be better than hitting on a QB late in the draft. Great teams are created that way if you get lucky on a late round QB.

In part because a lot of teams who really needed a QB picked one in the first round.
