The consensus was:

Total waste of a second round pick;
Would have been available in the 4th round, maybe the 5th.

Oh and 26, at deaths door.

It’s funny, it’s almost the same exact stories that came out when we reached for Payton Turner. Draft guys had him as a 4th round pick but we reached for him in the 1st.

And then then stories start coming out that and such team was going to take him if we didn’t. So the Saints had to reach.


Most NFL front office guys know each other and do not want to make each other look bad. I would not doubt the Saints leaked the story about others picking Shough and other teams confirmed it out of mutual protection. No other team took a QB until the 28th pick of the third round. If one of those teams picking in those picks truly wanted to reach for a QB there were several other QBs still available whose risk/reward ratio was similar to Shoughs.

Dane Brugler of the Athletic, who I think is the best of the draft pundits, had Tyler Shough ranked as his #50 prospect, solidly in the middle of round 2. He also correctly predicted that the Saints would draft Shough in round 2 at #40.

Lagniappe: Brugler really liked our 7th round choices. He mocked both of them as 5th rounders
