They probably would've sat him his first year. I think Lebeau would've still been canned.
Also... I'm in no way putting Brees down if he were here. He was always a really nice player. He was at Perdue toward the end of my time at Ohio State, so I'd been aware of him for awhile before he got the NFL. He used to singlehandedly do damage against John Cooper's teams during his collegiate days. I think he even played a hand in getting him fired. It was so long ago, that I don't remember, but I think Perdue beat Ohio State his senior year.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Drew Brees never becomes the Drew Brees we know today if he were drafted by Cincinnati... Especially THAT Cincinnati.
I was going to say that Drew Brees in Cincy would've been like the Drew Brees of his first 3 years in SD...except our guys wouldn't have been capable of coaching him out of it.
He would've never become the good QB he was later on in SD...let alone the record shattering QB he became under Sean Payton.

There is a similar story about the 1998 draft.
The Bengals had 2 picks in the middle of the first round. Mike wanted DE Vonnie Holliday and WR Randy Moss. The coaching staff wanted linebackers Takeo Spikes and Brian Simmons.
