Probably the biggest surprise in the recent NFL Draft came in the fifth round when the New Orleans Saints, who just last year signed veteran quarterback Derek Carr to a four-year, $150 million contract, chose South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler.

The Saints hadn’t been expected to take a quarterback. Rattler had been expected to go much higher.

At least one expert, a former New Orleans Saints quarterback and a Mississippi legend, believes the drafting of Rattler was a wise choice by his hometown team.

“I like Spencer,” Archie Manning said recently. “I like him as a person and as a player. I can’t wait to see what he does for the Saints.”

Rattler, an Arizona native, played college ball first at Oklahoma and then for the past two seasons at South Carolina. Manning knows Rattler best from when he was a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy the summer between Oklahoma and South Carolina.

Projecting the Saints' starting defense following the 2024 NFL draft

Week 1 is months away, but there’s potential for change this summer. We’re projecting the New Orleans Saints’ starting defense following the 2024 NFL draft, having accounted for the team’s free agent pickups and rookie draft picks. The Saints also lost multiple backups and key rotation players in free agency like cornerback Isaac Yiadom, defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, and linebacker Zack Baun as well as starting safety Marcus Maye. Dennis Allen’s defense is going to look at least a little different.

So what’s different? What stayed the same? Here’s our take on which players could be introduced first when the Who Dat Nation gathers at the Caesars Superdome in September:

The New Orleans Saints have officially parted ways with the former 2015 first-round draft pick, Andrus Peat.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported that Peat will be headed to the Las Vegas Raiders. Peat has played 111 games for the Saints primarily at left guard. Last season; however, Peat transitioned to left tackle.

If Ryan Ramczyk’s injury prevents him from playing in 2024, the Saints will have lost three offensive linemen since March due to injury, retirement, or free agency. However, the Saints did just draft offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Raiders signing longtime Saints offensive lineman Andrus Peat

The New Orleans Saints made a big bet that their offensive line will be just fine without Andrus Peat, and we’re about to see whether it pays off. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Las Vegas Raiders are signing Peat as a free agent after the 2024 draft. The Saints drafted Peat back in 2015, out of Stanford, and he went on to earn three Pro Bowl nods as an alternate.

Peat arguably saved the Saints’ season by replacing Trevor Penning at left tackle after six disastrous starts in 2023, which was a bit of a surprise. He hadn’t played that position since the 2018 regular season...

Who would you say was the sleeper pick of the New Orleans Saints’ 2024 draft class, who could climb the depth chart and help out on game days? With the Saints spending so many of their 2025 draft picks on Day 3, in the later rounds, there are plenty of options to choose from. There will be many rookies starting at the bottom of the roster and working to make their own luck.

But some have landed in better circumstances than others, with a real path to dressing out and making plays on game days. According to Doug Farrar over at Touchdown Wire, that’s former Pittsburgh Panthers wideout Bub...

Derek Carr picked as one of the NFL's worst starting quarterbacks

There’s going to be 32 quarterbacks starting games in the NFL this fall, but a couple of backups and injury situations make things more complicated when you try to rank them all top-to-bottom. And that quandary didn’t do Derek Carr any favors. When Touchdown Wire’s Jarrett Bailey ranked the top 36 quarterbacks in the NFL, he put the New Orleans Saints’ $150 million man all the way down at No. 26.

Which made Carr one of the game’s worst starters (not counting rookies), ahead of guys like Will Levis (No. 28), Deshaun Watson (No. 31), Bryce Young (No. 32), and Carr’s surprise replacement on...
