Short answer: yes, if the right one is available.
Even with Derek Carr on the roster, he hasn’t proven to be the long-term answer. He’s serviceable, but not the future. And with Jameis Winston gone and Jake Haener still unproven, it makes sense for the Saints to look at adding a young QB to develop — especially on Day 2 or 3 of the draft.
Top Quarterbacks Still Available (or Projected Picks if Before Draft Day)
Depending on how the board falls, here are some names worth watching:
1. Quinn Ewers (Texas)
If he slides into the second round, he could be a strong value pick. Big arm, good mobility, and improved decision-making in 2024. He’s got starting potential with the right coaching.
2. Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss)
Strong arm, athletic, and has that gritty SEC experience. Could be a solid developmental QB in rounds 2–3.
3. Michael Pratt (Tulane)
A fan favorite in New Orleans, he’s tough, smart, and consistent. Not flashy, but a great leader who could be a dependable backup or even a future starter. Might be available in the middle rounds.
4. Jordan Travis (Florida State)
Coming off an injury, but when healthy, he’s a dynamic dual-threat QB. If the Saints are looking for a high-upside prospect late, he’s a solid option.
Verdict:
If one of the top QBs drops into a value spot, the Saints would be smart to make the move — especially with Carr not getting any younger and no clear succession plan in place.
