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

I disagree although I would love him to have another year in college. He can make every throw and some and is playing at an elite level so far. All you can go buy is a players tools and what he puts on tape just like Burrow and Daniels and anybody else. Well aware that it don’t guarantee success but he’s certainly worthy and has the tools and production so far for first round consideration. I bet people would jump up and immediately say Jalen Milroe and Jaxson Dart are 1st round QBs. While both have great athleticism Nuss is a better thrower and QB.

I wouldn't take Milroe or Dart in the first at this point either. Milroe is a great athlete but he has a long way to go to develop as a QB. At this point he can throw deep and run, but he needs to significantly develop in other areas before he should be a high pick. Though he probably will be because NFL teams get enamored with athleticism and end up taking those guys way too high. Dart is running that Kiffin offense that I don't think helps a player move to the NFL.

The only college QB that I think might be ready is Ewers and he's hurt so it's hard to know how he has developed. Milroe has impressed me with his development since last year, but he still has a lot of work to do.
