Barring a very drastic event, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will select Jameis Winston. Now, as far as Marcus Mariota goes, no one truly knows where he’ll end up. It could be the Tennessee Titans or a team that trades up for him.
Another quarterback with intrigue is Baylor’s Bryce Petty. Despite putting up some gauty numbers in the collegiate ranks, Petty isn’t being mentioned in the same breathe as Winston and Mariota.
However, there is one team out there that’s in love with Petty’s ability.
According to McGinn, the Saints believe Petty is “the best pure passer in the draft.”
The Saints have three first picks in the first two rounds, 13th, 31st and 44th. Don’t be surprised if New Orleans uses one of those picks on Petty to be Drew Brees’ heir apparent.
