The 2022 NFL draft class isn't littered with elite quarterback prospects, but ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. still has four going in the first round of his initial mock draft.

The draft guru has the Washington Football Team grabbing Liberty's Malik Willis at No. 11 overall, Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett going No. 18 to the New Orleans Saints, Ole Miss' Matt Corral going two picks later to the Steelers and North Carolina's Sam Howell rounding things out at No. 28 with the Detroit Lions.

No consensus has been struck on which quarterback will go off the board first in April's draft—nor is it clear where the quarterbacks will land. The Lions are the only team selecting a quarterback in Kiper's mock we can reasonably rule out of trading for a veteran option.

The Steelers and Saints likely fashion themselves as Super Bowl contenders with a top-flight quarterback, and it's unlikely Washington wants to go into the third year of Ron Rivera's tenure with uncertainty at the position. While Detroit is certainly a potential landing spot for one of the names, it seems more likely the team uses 2022 as another rebuilding year before landing its quarterback of the future near the top of the 2023 draft. ...

SB Nation Reacts Results: Should the Saints take a quarterback at No. 9?

With the 2025 NFL Draft less than a week away, in this week’s reacts poll, we asked our readers to give their thoughts on whether the New Orleans Saints should take a quarterback at No. 9?

Just 26% of voters said yes, a quarterback should be at the top of the Saints draft board, whether it is Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart.

No one knows what will happen on Thursday night, but with the uncertainty of Derek Carr’s shoulder injury possibly affecting his availability for the upcoming season it has to be something that is in the back of Mickey Loomis and Kellen Moore’s minds.

Who should the Saints look to draft in round 2?

The New Orleans Saints have a top 10 pick for the first time in what feels like forever (I was six the last time that happened, so for me, literally almost forever). Everyone’s talking about what the Saints are going to do at nine, and rightfully so. It’s arguably the most exciting draft night since 2008 for the organization, but nobody’s giving much talk to what they could do in the second round.

At nine, you obviously expect to find a franchise-changing player, but this is a deep class. There aren’t as many superstar talents as possible, but there will be valuable, starting-caliber...

CSC Poll: Who do you want the Saints to draft with the #9 overall pick?

  • News source: Hayden Reel

With less than a week until the New Orleans Saints are on the clock, we asked our readers who would you like to see them draft with the 9th overall pick:

After 361 votes, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders won with 42% of the vote. With the news of Derek Carr’s shoulder injury, the Saints need for a quarterback is a bigger one as they face the potential of being without their starter for the whole season. Sanders is likely to be the second quarterback off the board regardless of who takes him, but there are some who have him ranked as the top quarterback in the draft such as ESPN’s Mel...

It’s official. New Orleans Saints OT Ryan Ramczyk is retiring from the NFL. Ramczyk made the announcement via his Instagram account earlier tonight.

“What an incredible journey it’s been. My path to the NFL wasn’t a straight line, it wasn’t the story most people expect. There were moments when people doubted me, moments when I doubted myself. It’s funny how life works out. Sometimes the road less traveled leads to places you never expected, but it ends up being exactly where you were meant to be. Today I reflect on all the twists and turns that got me to this point, from technical college...
