the biggest problem i have is cutler being the first qb taken.. not matter what happens a team would be stupid to take him over young and lienart... expecially a team like the saints who need to start winning soon

Payton was high on him at the combine which, if nothing else, raises the possibility. I like Cutler myself and I don't buy locks just because they're the common pick.
I disagree that Leinart to N.O is the lock it's been made out to be for months now.
As far as being stupid to take him, that's a matter of opinion. We won't be able to judge that until years down the line. He turns into Big Ben and Leinart turns into Ryan Leaf, then the Saints would look smart.
You can make the argument Leinart's combination of production/tools should make him a higher pick than Cutler, but if Cutler has the ability to be a franchise QB, you take him that high regardless.
