The New Orleans Saints selected a quarterback with the 40th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It wasn't Shedeur Sanders. While Sanders was still on the board, New Orleans opted to take Louisville's Tyler Shough over the Colorado star. The Saints were expected to be a top landing spot for a quarterback at some point during the draft because of Derek Carr's uncertain future. Many believed that could lead New Orleans to target Sanders on Day 2 if available, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Daniel Jeremiah both reported the Saints appeared to be more interested in Shough.
