The New Orleans Saints have emerged as the betting favorites to select Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the upcoming NFL Draft, with odds shifting dramatically following news of Derek Carr\'s shoulder injury.
DraftKings now lists the Saints as -130 favorites to draft Sanders, a significant change from their +300 odds just four days earlier. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the second betting favorite at +350.
New Orleans currently holds the ninth overall pick, raising questions about whether they might need to trade up to secure Sanders, or risk having another team jump ahead of them in the draft order.
Saints offensive coordinator Kellen Moore did not attend Colorado\'s pro day, instead focusing on scouting other quarterback prospects including Miami\'s Cam Ward, Ole Miss\' Jaxon Dart, and Ohio State\'s Will Howard. However, New Orleans quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien was present in Boulder to evaluate Sanders.
Another option for the Saints would be delaying their quarterback selection until 2026, when New Orleans native Arch Manning could potentially headline that draft class.
