Saints Expected to Select Quarterback at No. 9

The New Orleans Saints, under new head coach Kellen Moore, are facing significant speculation regarding their draft strategy, particularly at the quarterback position. While ESPN's Jordan Reid predicts the Saints could select Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the No. 9 pick due to Derek Carr's uncertain status and the team's ongoing instability at quarterback, other insiders suggest the Saints are more likely to wait until the second round or later to address the position, with interest in prospects like Jaxson Dart. Reports indicate that the Saints' front office has shown considerable interest in Georgia defensive linemen, hinting they may prioritize defense early in the draft. The Saints' approach has been described as transparent, potentially signaling to other teams their willingness to pass on a first-round quarterback. Ultimately, the team's true intentions remain closely guarded, and their draft moves will put speculation to rest soon. The outcome will reveal whether the Saints opt for an immediate quarterback solution or bolster other roster areas first.
