Mel Kiper Jr. has different landing spot for Shedeur Sanders

There are a few different landing spots that Shedeur Sanders can wind up beginning his career as different draft analysts have different teams. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has Sanders landing in the top 10 with the New Orleans Saints in his latest mock draft.

"If Sanders doesn't go to the Giants, there aren't many clear landing spots for him in the top 10 ... and he could slide. I could see a team trading up for him-maybe even the Saints, who have nine picks-but most of these rosters are already set at quarterback. This is a great outcome for New Orleans, though. I like this match a lot." h/t Sports Illustrated

New Orleans already has Derek Carr and Spencer Rattler under contract, but this could be a look into the future with first-year Saints coach Kellen Moore's first draft class signaling the future of the franchise.
