Saints Expected to Consider Quarterback, Picks Analysis Ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the New Orleans Saints are positioned with the No. 9 overall pick and have a variety of options, particularly concerning potential quarterback selections. ESPN's predictions indicate that top QB prospects Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are unlikely to be available, while analysts suggest the Saints could consider Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart if they opt for a QB early in the draft. The Saints have also been linked to defensive and offensive talent, with names like Shemar Stewart and Tyler Warren emerging as possibilities for their pick. However, many analysts believe significant moves may be necessary for the Saints to secure Sanders, given his low odds of falling to No. 9. Various mock drafts highlight the potential for a 'risky pick' with Stewart, who has shown promise despite a modest collegiate record. Overall, the Saints face critical decisions as they aim to rebound from last season's struggles.
