New CBS mock draft has Saints selecting LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in 2025

He’s among the best QBs in college football so far in his first year starting. His arm talent is elite. Hes extremely accurate and understands the game and can read defenses. Hard worker and a leader. Hes had a better start than either of our heisman NFL star QBs also. I’d gladly take him and let he and Rattler fight it out for the future QB spot. If he continues as he has so far he wil be a top 15 pick. If he comes back to college next year he may end up being a top 5.

His arm is not elite and being the best starting QBs in college this year doesn't mean he's going to be an NFL QB. There are many years where the best QB in college football doesn't become a good NFL QB. He's a good college QB but he's not ready for the NFL. He needs another year in college. If does that maybe he take the step that Burrow and Daniels made in their final year of college. Taking him at #16 would be a terrible reach.
