NFL Draft 2015: Saints select Garrett Grayson, Twitter reacts
There has been a ton of speculation to whether or not the New Orleans Saints would look for a quarterback to eventually take over after Drew Brees calls it quits. Well, they did just that in the third round, selecting Colorado State QB Garrett Grayson with the 75th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Who Dat Nation, say hello to who will likely be your next starting quarterback. Whether he pans out or not, I’m willing to bet Payton and Loomis believe Garrett Grayson is the next guy up to bat. They would not spend a third-round pick if they thought otherwise. Obviously, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers come to mind, but it’s certainly going to be interesting to see what happens in a few years.
Fans and media took to Twitter and reacted to the big decision. As you can imagine, there were some mixed feelings.

@Dmall20 @Saints Petty would be a bust. Grayson was very accurate at Colorado State.

Jon Gruden loves Garrett Grayson, said he was worth a 2nd-round pick. First time #Saints have drafted QB before Round 7 in Payton-Brees era

I trust Sean Payton’s decision at quarterback — it’s his specialty, so I’m on board. What is your reaction, Saints fans? Do you agree with the call?
