The New Orleans Saints have to be pleasantly surprised with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough after his play during the 2025 NFL season. The former Louisville standout and his team are not be eligible for the playoffs.

Like the past few weeks, the Saints dropping in the draft order is not the end of the world. There are still several great players available, and S Caleb Downs could be one of the top options. Safety is not a position of need for New Orleans, but this is all about the best player available and talent. Downs is one of the best players in the draft.
