Saints should refrain from drafting a QB, but temptation is real

Maybe the New Orleans Saints will select Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson at No. 27 overall in this year's NFL Draft. Or is it Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph? How about trading up into the top 10 for Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield?

Rampant speculation has swirled and will continue to swirl around the Saints plucking their supposed heir apparent to Drew Brees in this year's draft. I'm certain many Saints fans understand the logic behind the speculation even if they disagree with the notion.

Brees will walk into the 2018 season as a 39-year-old quarterback with a one-year deal and second-year option in tow.
