Unless the New Orleans Saints plan to reinvent the meaning of “generational talent,” head coach Kellen Moore is going to need a quarterback. Possibly sooner than expected.

Moore beat Derek Carr’s Fresno State team by 50 when they shared the field in 2011. Moore was the quarterback at Boise State and threw three touchdowns in the shellacking.

Now he’s a first-time head coach in New Orleans, and must decide whether his former peer has a future as a prized pupil with the Saints.

Carr is reportedly at risk of missing time in 2025 with a shoulder injury. Durability has become a problem for Carr. If he opts for surgery, the outlook for the Saints is blurred until Moore settles on a solution at the position.

If only that was the only challenge ahead for Moore in New Orleans.

–Team needs

Quarterback: With or without Carr, the Saints are nowhere near settled at the position. Spencer Rattler flashed upside but wasn’t drafted by the current coaching staff. As a former QB, Moore can’t resist the chance to get “his guy” in the draft.

Offensive line: A tackle capable of opening the season at guard, or a guard who could play tackle, might be No. 1 on the shopping list for Moore. A fortified front five was critical during his success as Cowboys offensive coordinator and last season with the Super Bowl-champion Eagles. While the Saints have the potential to start five players drafted 53rd or higher, their recent results don’t match their original draft slots.

Pass rusher: Cameron Jordan remains one of the starting defensive ends for the Saints and he entered the NFL one year before Moore signed as an undrafted free agent with the Detroit Lions in 2012. Defensive coordinator Brandon Staley downplayed the base defense — 3-4 or 4-3 — he’ll primarily operate. No matter how they align, the Saints are short on edge defenders.

–History lesson

–In the history of the franchise, Archie Manning is the only quarterback the Saints have drafted in the top 74. Manning was selected No. 2 in 1971.

Garrett Grayson (75th overall, 2015) and Danny Wuerffel (99th, 1997) are the only other QBs the team selected in the top 100. This does not include 1981 supplemental draft pick Dave Wilson.

–The Saints have drafted 21 running backs in the top 74, including four in the top five (George Rogers, No. 1, 1981; Reggie Bush, No. 2, 2006; Chuck Muncie, No. 3, 1976; Ricky Williams, No. 5, 1999).

What happens if Shedeur Sanders goes undrafted? Explaining the salary difference and UDFA process

The idea of Shedeur Sanders going undrafted seemed preposterous when the 2025 NFL Draft week began. The Colorado star quarterback’s luster as a projected top-five pick may have diminished, but he was still widely mocked to land somewhere by the end of Day 1.When the first round came and went without his name being called, Sanders told the crowd at his Thursday draft party, “Tomorrow is the day.” But Friday also ended without Sanders’ name being called, dragging his slide into yet another day of speculation as Day 3 begins at noon Saturday.AdvertisementBut what happens if Day 3, consisting of rounds four to seven, also ends without Sanders being selected? An idea that never seemed plausible suddenly feels possible, and if so there are questions to be answered.Here’s what would happen if Sanders never gets selected in the NFL Draft. […]

Celtic získal titul už čtyři kola před koncem, vyrovnal rekord Rangers

Varhaníka čekají další čtyři roky v čele atletického svazu

„Jsem vděčný za to, že jsme silní, jednotní a jdeme za naplňováním našich vizí. Atletice se daří. To jsou asi symptomy, že nebyl protikandidát,“ řekl Varhaník, který je v čele svazu od roku 2009. „Na další funkce byla spousta kandidátů a věřím, že v nich je budoucnost,“ dodal devětapadesátiletý funkcionář. Je i místopředsedou Českého olympijského výboru pro ekonomiku a marketing a proti současnému šéfovi ČOV Jiřímu Kejvalovi bude ve středu kandidovat na nejvyšší post.„Máme za sebou nelehké období, kterým nás provázel covid. Jsem rád, že jsme jím prošli zocelení. Nejen že jsme udrželi členskou základní, která naopak narostla. Jsem rád, že jsme udrželi soutěže a celý tréninkový proces,“ uvedl Varhaník.Uplynulé roky hodnotí jako úspěšné z více důvodů. „Ať už se to týká medailí z olympijských her, mistrovství světa nebo evropských soutěží. Přestože nám odešla silná skupina atletů, kteří v minulé době přivezli neuvěřitelných 46 medailí, tak vidíme jejich nástupce. Máme naději, že […]
