We’re less than one month away from the 2022 NFL Draft, and the remaining holes on the New Orleans Saints roster are starting to take shape. It is fairly clear that the Saints need help at the offensive skills positions - specifically wide receiver (behind Michael Thomas), a pass-catching tight end, and running back (for the inevitable Alvin Kamara suspension). The other, arguably most glaring, need for the Saints is a quarterback of the future, considering Jameis Winston is only under contract through the 2023 season.
That’s why Pro Football Focus has the New Orleans Saints grabbing their next franchise quarterback with the 18th overall pick in their most recent mock draft:
Big Board Rank: 43
Profile: 6’3”, 211 | Age: 22 (August 31, 1999)
Jameis Winston simply isn’t the future at the quarterback position for the Saints or any NFL team.
