Or it's a mix of the two, which is my theory. imo, they probably think Leinart and/or Young have more potential than Brees, or at least have fewer medical question marks. However, Brees plus a stud like Mario Williams or Ferguson might be better for them than Leinart and maybe a mediocre DE/OT available in free agency. I don't think it's necessarily better in talent, but it's better in immediate impact and safer (less bust risk with a non-QB in the draft) and New Orleans probably needs both right now given their circumstances.
