The time of the news of news that Derek Carr could be absent for the 2025 season with a shoulder injury was not ideal for the Saints of New Orleans.
Now, everyone knows how to get a quarter of a quarter in the draft of the NFL has gone from a possibility for saints to practically a necessity.

The saints were in a good place to write a quarter-Arrière, probably Sheder Sanders. The adjustment seemed good on both sides. The use of the ninth overall choice did not seem exorbitant. It seemed intelligent, taking a quarter to develop for the future while Carr started at least the 2025 season as QB1.
The Carr News changes the emergency. While waiting for a quarter to a quarter, either for the last laps, or until next year, no longer seems to be an option.
DEION SANDERS, head coach and father of the SheDer, seemed to realize it too.
The saints have a greater need for QB
The Cots of Paris on the project in Betmgm are not always predictive but they can be instructive.

Earlier this week, the propeller on what position the saints would write first were led by the quarterrier at +300 dimensions (bet $ 100 to earn $ 300). Then the short stories from Carr fell. Friday afternoon, the chances that the saints wrote a QB had gone to -105. The next list has been the corner of +625 ratings quite long.
Everyone knows that the saints do not only want a quarter. They probably cannot afford to leave the first day of the draft without one. Since Carr news came out before the draft, all the other teams now know it too. The seated teams in front of the saints in the project have more commercial lever if New Orleans wants to go up. If there are teams behind the saints at n ° 9 watching Sanders or Jaxson Dart, they know that the saints are very likely to seek a quarter of 9 or earlier if they go up.
It is not as if anyone thought that Carr was the long-term quarter of the saints. But now he may not be the short-term response either. This probably puts the plan of the saints plan.

What will the saints do?
If the saints write Sanders, Dart or another quarter-Arrière like Jalen Milroe, the situation is not as great as it seemed it before the news of Carr’s injury.

Apart from Cam Ward, there does not seem to be a quarter of a quarter in this class, the best path to success was to start from the week 1. Having one of these recruits seated for a year behind a Aimé Carr veteran seemed to be a better plan. This could no longer be achievable in New Orleans if Carr is absent for the 2025 season due to surgery.
If the saints repel Sanders and want him to sit, Spencer Rattle or Jake Haener could fill the gap for a year. It is far from ideal and will probably not lead to much success in 2025, but it would allow the saints to slowly bring Sanders. It may not be pretty along the way.
In short, things have become more disorderly for the saints due to Carr’s injury. They have the ninth choice but cannot be sure that the quarter-rear they wish will be there, if there are a quarter of a quarter that they want in the first round. They could feel more pressure to write a first-round quarter even if they are not completely sold to them. The rest of the NFL knows that now, which harms the lever of saints. And if the saints write a quarter, making it sit and learn for a year may not be a viable option. The first year head coach Kellen Moore cannot feel good about it.
Before Friday, the favorite of the bets to land Sanders was the saints. This possibility seemed to become much stronger after discovering that the saints may not have many other quarter options for 2025.
