Everyone has a mock draft these days, and it's impossible to please every team's fanbase. If you play by the rules, anyway. But ESPN's Ben Solak didn't even try that. He colored outside the lines to lay out what a perfect 2025 draft class would look like for all 32 teams. For the New Orleans Saints? That means not reaching on a quarterback, but instead upgrading the defense and waiting for the right opportunity to go get your QB.
While the temptation is there to reach on Shedeur Sanders at No. 9, Solak suggests the Saints would be better off "leveraging the additional Round 3 and Round 4 selections they have to move up into the end of the first round for Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) or Tyler Shough (Louisville).
