Despite interest, the Saints should avoid Kyle Trask
On top of quarterbacks Davis Mills from Stanford and Kellen Mond from Texas A&M, the Saints are also interested in University of Florida quarterback Kyle Trask. Trask is also the only quarterback that the Saints have publically shown interest in.
The quarterback room in New Orleans has pretty much been set — or has it. You can’t deny that bringing in a young, talented quarterback like Kyle Trask doesn’t give Sean Payton and his offensive coaching staff cause for pause — or does it?
Both Winston and Hill are on short-term contracts. That could give way to Trask being the future of the Saints. Trask wasn’t a star in his freshman season, but he broke out into one in his sophomore year and carried that into his junior year.
The New Orleans Saints are rumored to be interested in Florida quarterback Kyle Trask, but they should avoid him with the No. 28 pick.
He is leaving Florida after three years finishing with 552 completions for 7,386 yards and 69 touchdowns with only 15 interceptions. He also did all that in only 27 collegiate games. With the right coaching staff behind him, Trask has the makings of an NFL star.
However, I am here to tell you that despite all the interest that the Saints have shown in Trask, they need to stay away from him. Payton has already said that they have found their future quarterback that is already in the room.
He’s even made comparisons of Taysom Hill to the likes of the legendary Steve Young. With an arm like Winston who is just 27, he’s not going to pass up on a chance to make him the long-term future of the franchise.
They made effort to sign Winston again this offseason. Don’t give way to the fact that Winston is on a one-year deal trip you up. He is fully in the running for a long-time quarterback. He is only 27 and has a full career ahead of him.
They will sign either Winston or Hill to a long-term contract at the end of next season. Instead of focusing on adding a third quarterback with a first-round pick, the team needs to build around Winston and give him the best chance at success.

If Trask is there in the fourth or fifth round like Fromm was, then they can go after him, but this team has bigger needs for now.
