The New Orleans Saints are at least one year away from spending a high draft pick on a quarterback. That's the reality.
An Aaron Rodgers-Brett Favre scenario serves as the most rare of exceptions. You think the Packers really expected Rodgers to sit behind a habitual waffler like Favre for three seasons after spending their first-round pick on a quarterback in 2005?
In a word, no.
Selecting a quarterback on Day 1 of next week's NFL draft would be a disaster, even with two picks to play with.
A second-round pick on Drew Brees' supposed heir apparent would also be a waste of a pick with more pressing needs.
