News broke last week that QB Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that could cost him the 2025 season. Yet, per Times-Picayune columnist Jeff Duncan, the injury to the Saints starter will not impact the team's draft plan. "...Just from what I'm hearing, he's (Shedeur Sanders) not going to be under consideration. Now I don't know if that means no quarterbacks at 9, but I think at least in particular him."
During the latest episode of the Saints Insider podcast, Duncan added "If you don't have a guy graded in the first round before the Carr news, it doesn't change it. You're not going to take the guy out of desperation."
At this point, with no starting QB on the roster of note, drafting a QB seems imminent. If not Sanders, then who? 54 years ago, the Saints selected an Ole Miss QB in RD1, the legendary Archie Manning. Could the team surprise the league with a selection of Jaxson Dart?
Then there's this...

SAINTS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
