Where the New Orleans Saints looked for 2025 draft prospects this week

Where did the New Orleans Saints scout during college football games this week? Their scouting department is spread across the country, tracking games and filing reports on 2025 NFL Draft prospects, but we only know where they are when it’s reported. In this week’s news, they were involved in several high-profile matches.

According to Eli Hoffa of St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Saints were one of six teams watching Mizzou play Auburn. For at least the second time this season, they’re watching Missouri live, and the school’s top prospect is wide receiver Luther Burden III, a likely top-10 pick in the 2025 draft. The 5-foot-11, 208-pounder totaled 6 receptions for 49 yards against Auburn and is up to 168 catches, 2,034 yards and 19 touchdowns in his career. He also gained 209 yards and four scores in just 30 carries as a running back.

But that’s not all. The Saints joined half the league in scouting all the early-round prospects competing in the Texas-Georgia game on Saturday night, and the Bulldogs won the game easily. Defensive backs Carson Beck and Quinn Evers also earned notoriety in the top 10, but they took a step back from future NFL players by defending each other. Beck was intercepted three times, and Evers was briefly benched in favor of Arch Manning after throwing an interception and taking several sacks.

This may not be the year to look for a quarterback early on. The Saints need help at multiple positions and may be worth taking the best player available if they hold their position with a top-10 pick. We’re waiting for the remainder of Week 7’s games to wrap up, but the Jacksonville Jaguars’ win on Sunday morning puts the Saints in sixth place overall.
