Predict by Bold Saints ends up trendquarters as Derek Carr replacement

The New Orleans Saints used a premium capital for the quarterback position during the 2025 NFL design.

The 26-year-old rookie Tyler Shough was a brave step of the organization, while the drama Derek Carr deals with the veteran's shoulder injury.

Shough has the chance to compete immediately to the backup role, and possibly the starting role when Carr misses the time.

Against this background, it is unlikely that Shough is the long-term answer, which is simply his history of injury in the middle, the history of older quarterback prospects in the league and the hit rate for quarterbacks of the second round.

Therefore, Jordan Reid from ESPN believes that the saints will use number 8 in the NFL design of 2026 No. 8 to get a potential franchise quarters in Penn State's Drew Allar.

“Allar took a big step as a junior in 2024 and threw 8 interceptions for 3,327 Passing Yards and 24 touchdowns. Conversation in the first round when he continues his upward railway,” wrote Reid.

The saints are still in a financial dilemma for the future, and it did not help to tighten this problem with a series of restructuring in this low season.

If New Orleans no longer meet the playoffs in 2025, which would mark the fifth season in a row, it would be shocking if they were avoiding the reconstruction phase again.

Regardless of this, the saints are likely to be in conversation to design a quarterback in the next low season so that it will be interesting to see where everything stands as soon as the upcoming campaign gets going.
