New Orleans Saints Draft Analysis: Top 3 deepest positions

Quarterback

It seems unlikely that the Saints go with a quarterback at No. 24, but there’s no denying that the interest should be there. We’ll know if Drew Brees is around by then, and regardless, the potential in this class is deep.

All you have to do is ask some of the NFL’s most respected websites how they feel about this year’s quarterbacks. Let’s not even mention Joe Burrow either, the clear No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft.

Jordan Love, Utah State

“Dynamic signal-caller with a flick-of-the-wrist throwing style, good touch, and plenty of athleticism―but big questions around his decision-making and ball security. He has the ability to manipulate defenders with his eyes.” (The Ringer)

Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma

“Hurts is a dual-threat quarterback with ample athleticism who has shown improvements as a passer. He’s still a work in progress, but there will be a team willing to take a gamble on him fairly early in the draft.” (Draft Wire)

Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama

“Tagovailoa has the most electric arm in this class. His deep-ball accuracy might be the best I have ever seen coming out of college. When things are ideal in the pocket, his footwork is consistent, as is his balance, weight distribution through the process, and throwing motion.” (Drafttek)

Jake Fromm, Georgia

“Fromm is a fringe starter and more of a backup-caliber quarterback for the NFL. I just don’t believe he has the physical tools to be a dynamic starter. For Fromm to be a good NFL starter, he will need an excellent core around him to let him distribute the ball to play-making receivers while relying on a potent rushing attack.” (Walter Football)
