several choices. Nice writeup on Ian from the linked article "If you're a quarterback, there aren't many better landing spots than New Orleans, where you get to play for Sean Payton. Book also wins here because Payton had said coming into the draft that quarterback was not a "must-add" position for the Saints, yet they added one anyway. Payton has also shown his willingness to add packages to the playbook for athletic players who can pass, like Taysom Hill, so perhaps Book can get on the field some even if he's not immediately a starting-caliber quarterback.
