One lingering possibility for the New Orleans Saints in the 2022 NFL draft is selecting a new quarterback. Yes, the Saints did re-sign Jameis Winston for two years, but the contract does offer some flexibility for New Orleans. Should they draft a quarterback, it would not be out of the question for them to sit a year or two to learn, while they still have Winston under contract. The contract is also fairly cheap for a starting quarterback.
As for the quarterbacks available, everyone has heard how this class is one of the weakest we have ever seen. However, I feel that is in terms of ‘day one starters’ as there are plenty of quarterbacks with talent that needs time to develop.
Giving these guys a year or two, there are some legitimate chances for greatness. Here is a preview of the 2022 quarterback class, and who I think it would make sense for the Saints, should they find it necessary to draft another quarterback:
