The 2025 NFL Draft is where Kellen Moore can truly begin to get the New Orleans Saints back on track. Starting with their first pick, slated to be ninth overall, New Orleans must create a strong draft class. 

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders is one of the most polarizing prospects in the class. He's an experienced college starter with a lot of production, and he's the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders.

One of the notable upcoming free agents for the Saints talked to Sanders this past weekend. 

Juwan Johnson recruits Shedeur Sanders

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the experienced Saints tight end shared some words with the Colorado quarterback, who is expected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming draft. 

The quarterback position remains a potential question mark going forward past this offseason. 

The latest reports indicate that Derek Carr seems like the most likely option to start next season, but there are still plenty of you long-term questions for the position, regardless. 

Sounds like the Saints plan to keep Derek Carr at QB. Mickey Loomis said they feel like they got a QB they can win with, and Kellen Moore said the team feels fortunate to have Carr. Moore and Carr have met. Sounds like it went well. Still have some contract stuff to figure.

Sanders is seemingly trending to be the second QB off the board in April, and there is a possibility he falls to ninth overall once free agency wraps up by then. Cam Ward feels like the clear top QB for just about every team in this year's class. The Saints met with him at the Combine. 

We will see if Sanders meets with the Saints over the course of the next handful of weeks.
