By John DeShazier - New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis opened his pre-draft news conference Wednesday with non-draft news on quarterback Derek Carr .
"Derek Carr has an issue with his shoulder, we're looking for some resolution and clarity on that in the near future," Loomis said. "When we have it, we'll get back to you."
Beyond that Loomis offered no further elaboration on Carr, who restructured his contract in March.
"I'm just not going to answer any more questions about Derek," Loomis said. "If you have questions about the draft, then I'm more than happy to answer those."
Loomis said the situation would not force the team's hand in the draft. If the right quarterback is available based on draft position and valuation, it'll step up to the plate even after drafting Spencer Rattler last year and Jake Haener in 2023.
"You're always wanting to take swings and develop the position," Loomis said. "That's good business. I think the thing that you have to really resist is over-drafting and taking someone way sooner, because that's opportunity cost. ...

The NFL Draft is far from an exact science. Every year players projected to be busts turn out great and players thought to be sure things are out of the league in just a few years. The New Orleans Saints have been up and down in terms of their draft success in recent years, as they have picked many key contributors to great Saints teams in the past, but recently have made some picks that have set them back a few years.
For this analysis, I looked at each pick made in the first round of each NFL Draft since 2009, and using a combination of stats, accolades, and weighted approximate value...

“Reaches” are a bit different in the 2025 NFL Draft and the Saints can do anything at 9
Throughout the year, many believed the 2025 NFL Draft class was weaker than previous years. The strength of the class comes from depth in rounds after the first round, but near the top of the first round, there is a lack of talent. There is a bit of a fall-off after Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter are selected. When these three are off the board, it creates a scenario where teams may “reach” for certain prospects that the consensus believed would go later in the first/second round. This year is different because these reaches are not really reaches. Yes, from the outside looking...
