In addition to the Dart projections, Cam Ward has publicly stated his desire to play for New Orleans, a franchise he grew up rooting for, and Deion Sanders has said his son would like to play for the team as a franchise near the top of the draft who are looking for quarterbacks.

With so many needs and a new coaching philosophy, draft predictions for New Orleans have been all over the place. In his third mock draft of the offseason, longtime draft analyst Lance Zierlein has the Saints pulling a bit of a surprise.

The Saints could be a surprise player in the 2025 NFL Draft quarterback market, and that would be a huge boost to the Chicago Bears' first-round plan.
