[David U Kennedy]

Big Ben over Brees?
Pick 8 has to be happy to get AP down there.
Aglohor seems to be a few rounds to early.
Tre Mason love is still out there???

[Tom Kessenich]

Big Ben over Brees?

I don't think that's outrageous, especially if you believe Brown is going to be WR1 this season.

But I have serious concerns about Brees this season. He's still a stud talent but the Saints' offense has undergone a rather radical facelift. I'm not convinced the weapons are for Brees to be a Top 3-5 QB like he typically has been. If anything happens to Cooks that passing game could go straight into the toilet.

I'm not convinced the weapons are for Brees to be a Top 3-5 QB like he typically has been. If anything happens to Cooks that passing game could go straight into the toilet.

I'm in this draft and was planning on taking Big Ben at 6.11 even if Brees was available. I agree with Tom, the weapons that Brees will be working with have really taken a hit. There were already signs last year of Brees trying to do too much which resulted in a lot of turnovers and more mediocre games than we were used to seeing. Ben arguably has the best RB and WR in the game as weapons which made him more appealing to me.

But, it comes down to personal opinion and I doubt too many people are willing to pass on Brees in the 6th round.

[David U Kennedy]

Yeah I am not going to be targeting Brees this year but I think I would still take him over Ben. No Jimmy Graham is going to effect Brees the most. Roethlisberger was just so up and down last year. The potential is definitely there though. I am interested to see how Spiller gets used. He looks like a big X-factor this year.

[Tom Kessenich]

In two years Brees has lost the following players:

Graham
Sproles
Thomas
Lance Moore

Those are four of the top weapons he had when he was putting up elite fantasy numbers. Kenny Stills was decent and he's gone now too. On top of that, Marques Colston - his No. 1 WR those years - is in serious decline so there is legitimate cause for concern in my opinion. We saw how badly Tom Brady struggled when his weapons were depleted a couple of seasons ago. As great as Brees is, I don't think he's immune to a significant loss of talent like we've seen in New Orleans.
