|

By the 2026 NFL Draft, the Saints could be looking for a young quarterback to replace Derek Carr.

He also has two rushing touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder could be a riser for the 2026 NFL Draft after he takes over as the full-time starter in 2025.

|

New England Patriots: Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama |
|
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 11/23/24): Tetairoa McMillan, WR

Carolina Panthers: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU |
|
2025 NFL Mock Draft (as of 11/23/24): James Pearce Jr., DE
I have the Panthers missing out on the quarterbacks in my latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft. Hence they could give Bryce Young one more year to get going and if he doesn’t play well, then look to replace him in 2026.
Nussmeier (6-2, 200) spent a few seasons as the backup to Jayden Daniels, but now he has taken advantage of the opportunity to start and has turned himself into a legit prospect for the NFL. Nussmeier has completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,126 yards with 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. There is no doubt that Nussmeier has the arm talent to be a pro starter, as he has a powerful arm that has no issue going vertically downfield. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Nussmeier is getting good pro preparation from Brian Kelly and Nussmeier looks like an early-round prospect for the 2025 or 2026 NFL Draft.
