2019 mock draft: Saints don't need 1st round pick for franchise QB

Don’t kid yourself, it’s never too early for 2019 NFL mock drafts. While New Orleans Saints fans don’t have to obsessively check them like most other fanbases – thanks, Marcus Davenport – it’s still nice to get a feel for what may be in our future. That could potentially be the next franchise quarterback, as seen in this two-round mock draft from the Draft Wire’s own Luke Easterling.

If he’s back to full strength, Fitzgerald has all the tools to develop into a successful quarterback.

Fitzgerald had a solid 2017 season that was suddenly ended by a gruesome lower leg injury against the Ole Miss Landsharks defense in one of college football’s most-underrated rivalry games, the Egg Bowl.
